CALGARY -- The Calgary Flames woke up to life without Jarome Iginla on Thursday. While Iginla sat out the previous nights game as his trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins was negotiated, his dressing room stall was still full of his equipment and bore his nameplate. His teammates were also preoccupied with beating Colorado, whether their captain was in the lineup or not. But Iginlas stall was empty and stripped of his nameplate Thursday. A Flame for all of his 16 seasons and the teams captain for nine, his departure left a void and questions about the future of the franchise. "Its weird. Its definitely weird," Flames forward Mike Cammalleri said. "Theres no downplaying the significance and the presence hes been in the room, on this organization and in this city. Its a little different today." Iginla bid his teammates a hasty goodbye prior to a morning news conference at the Saddledome. The players thoughts reflected that of many Calgarians and hockey fans. Theyre sad to see their captain go, but hope Iginla wins the Stanley Cup that has eluded him in Calgary. "Its a unique situation here, just because hes been here for so long and he really is the face of the franchise and done so many great things," defenceman Jay Bouwmeester said. "You play long enough, you see guys come and go. It doesnt mean you have ill-will or anything like that. "I think everyone in here wishes him the best of luck. Its a great opportunity for him." Calgary (13-15-4) is ranked 14th in the NHLs Western Conference. At six points outs, the Flames are not yet mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, but face a fourth straight season finishing out of the post-season. The urgency to turn the hockey clubs fortunes around prompted the trading of the face of the franchise. "Were not where we want to be and unfortunately Iggy was the first guy to obviously get moved because of it this year and so you feel youre a bit responsible for it," defenceman Mark Giordano said. The Calgary ownership group hasnt traditionally held firesales, but if this is one, they started at the very top. Iginla waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the move to Pittsburgh and had a say in his destination. But general manager Jay Feaster hinted when he announced the deal with Pittsburgh for two college forwards and a first-round draft pick that he is not done on the trade front. He said weekend meetings with head coach Bob Hartley, assistant general manager John Wiesbrod and the Flames scouts will determine their strategy for the NHLs trade deadline next Wednesday. "I know you guys like the rebuild word," Feaster said. "Our goal is we want to retool to the point where were a competitive team and a legitimate playoff team. "Were going to continue to look for ways to improve our hockey club. There are any numbers of ways to do that and thats through the draft, through trading and through free agency. Were going to avail ourselves of all of those avenues, but I dont want to use the rebuild word. "I think were going to be busy. Were going to be active in the process of trying to stockpile assets. We are not looking to move draft picks or prospects to get players right now." Lost in the trade speculation surrounding Iginla was the rumbling about the future of goaltender Mikka Kiprusoff in the organization. The 36-year-old has one year remaining after this season on a contract that counts $5.8 million annually against the salary cap. The no-trade clause in Kiprusoffs contract has expired, according to Capgeek.com. Sportsnet has reported that Kiprusoff would refuse a trade, but the goaltender would not address that report after Wednesdays game. "Im not going to talk about it," Kiprusoff said. "Im going to concentrate on playing games with the Flames here right now. I like it here a lot." Meanwhile, the Flames host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday and look to extend their winning streak at the Saddledome to nine. Road games have been their downfall this season with a team-record 10 consecutive losses. "In our business you find motivation in a lot of places," Cammalleri said. "Until someone actually tells me were mathematically out of it, no one in this room will feel that way. "Guys are competing hard for their own livings as well. You dont throw in the towel as a player ever." wholesale nfl jerseys . -- Their team back together again, Canada looked comfortable at the womens world curling championship as they closed in on a playoff spot. cheap jerseys .S., became the first player from the Atlantic University Sport conference to receive the Nan Copp Award.

ATLANTA -- Joe Johnson came out sporting a new look. If his teammates have their way, he wont be changing it any time soon. Wearing a black headband, Johnson scored 36 points -- 28 in the first half -- and the Atlanta Hawks romped to a 110-85 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in a makeup game Tuesday night. Johnson donned the headband to protect the back of his scalp after undergoing a procedure to treat a skin infection. It must have helped his shooting touch, too. He made six straight three-pointers on the way to the highest-scoring half by an Atlanta player this season. "He wanted to take it off at halftime," Hawks centre Al Horford said. "We were like, No way." Johnson has to wear the headband at least a few more games to cover his wound. After that, hes not sure. "Im not really a headband kind of guy," Johnson said, breaking into a grin. "But for right now, Ive got to wear it." With Johnson firing away, the Hawks went on a 20-0 run that started at the end of the first quarter and extended into the second. The Bucks missed 10 straight shots -- plus turned it over four times -- during a scoring drought of nearly six minutes. Andrew Bogut led Milwaukee with 21 points. That wasnt nearly enough against Johnson and the Hawks, who shot a staggering 63 per cent (46-of-73). "This was much needed," Johnson said. "We were playing a Bucks team thats really given us a lot of problems." Last year, Milwaukee surprisingly took the Hawks to seven games in the opening round of the playoffs, even with Bogut out with an injury. This season, the Bucks had won two of three meetings, including a 108-91 rout in Atlanta back in November. This game, originally scheduled for Jan. 11, was postponed after an ice storm crippled Atlanta. The Bucks were forced to return to Atlanta, and what a wasted trip it was. They fell behind by as many as 24 points in the first half. "Its just another one of those games where we didnt play very well," coach Scott Skiles said. "We were just too slow." The Hawks were bolstered by the return of Horford, the all-star centre who had missed the previous game because of an ailing left ankle. Otherwise, they stuck with the lineup that snapped a four-game losing streak last weeekend: Johnson shifting up to small forward, with Kirk Hinrich and Jeff Teague starting in the backcourt.dddddddddddd The way Johnson played, it didnt matter who else was on the court. He made 13-of-19 shots -- 6-of-9 beyond the arc -- to bury the Bucks. Johnson swished his first three-pointer with just under four minutes left in the opening quarter, erasing Milwaukees final lead. After Bogut tied it one last time at 17 with a hook shot, the Bucks suddenly went cold -- and the Atlanta star couldnt miss. He hit another three early in the second, picked off a bad pass by Corey Maggette and knocked down another one. After Carlos Delfino broke Milwaukees scoreless streak, Johnson swished another three. Then another, even though he was about as close to midcourt as he was to the arc. And, yes, one more. Johnson finally missed on his final two three-pointers of the half, apparently tired from all that shooting. He came up short of his career high, 42 points, largely because he came out near the end of the third quarter with the Hawks comfortably ahead and didnt return. "I had my legs under me," Johnson said. "It was just a feeling. I was just letting it go." The Hawks led by as many as 33 down the stretch as both teams emptied their benches. "We havent had a win like this all year," coach Larry Drew said. "Hopefully a game like this will give us some juice." NOTES: Johnson came up shy of his career high for points in a half -- 32 at Chicago on Jan. 28, 2006. ... Bucks G Michael Redd took part in the shootaround but hasnt had a chance to get in a full-contact practice. He hasnt played since January 2010, when he tore both the anterior cruciate and the medial collateral ligaments in his left knee. ... Teague, who tied his career high with 24 points in Atlantas last game, scored just six points on a pair of late threes. But Drew was pleased with what he brought to the team in other areas. "He set the tone for us," the coach said. "His speed and quickness were a big factor." ... Because of the makeup game, both teams will have to play on back-to-back nights. At least the Hawks get both games at home, facing Denver on Wednesday. The Bucks were travelling back to Milwaukee to host Orlando. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
