"It seemed like..." February 12

February 06

Calgary Sun "Sailing from deep inside the Calgary Flames zone to just outside the Chicago Blackhawks blueline, there was no doubt where Alex Tanguay's offering would land.

Calgary Sun "Winger Alex Tanguay didn't suit up for Thursday's clash against the Detroit Red Wings at the Saddledome, the victim of an undisclosed injury suffered in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Minnesota Wild.

Calgary Herald "Lined up for the second period's opening faceoff, Vancouver Canucks right-winger Mark Mancari started yapping.

Calgary Sun "If you like the money but not the length of Alex Tanguay's newly minted contract with the Calgary Flames, the left-winger has some positive thinking for you to digest. The 31-year-old who agreed to a five-year, US$17.5-million deal Saturday morning doesn't see this as the twilight of his NHL..." June 26

The Globe and Mail "The dominoes fell quickly for the Calgary Flames Saturday morning.

June 25

Calgary Herald "You remember that steady chatter — the noise that the Calgary Flames absolutely must track down a No. 1 pivot for Jarome Iginla.

Calgary Herald "OK, what now? Alex Tanguay did his discount thing this season, putting name to a free-agent contract with the Calgary Flames for just $1.7 million, but with 22 goals among 68 points on the season, he's heading for a big raise. Huge, in fact, when you consider he's tied for 22nd in league..." April 09

Calgary Sun "Jarome Iginla has dominated the headlines of late. And rightfully so. Hitting 1,000 points in dramatic fashion will garner a little attention. Under slightly different circumstances, Alex Tanguay would be a major story. With the Calgary Flames clinging to their playoff hopes, the..." April 06

The Globe and Mail "For someone who is so good at it, Calgary Flames forward Alex Tanguay doesn't think too highly of the shootout.

Calgary Herald "Nobody has whipped home more shootout goals this winter than Alex Tanguay. Nobody.
