Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
Playoff and contention teams play to win. Every shift. Rebuilding teams play to get their young guys experience. To see who can handle the big minutes or the final plays of the game. The Calgary Flames are demonstrating what a rebuilding franchise looks like: all...
7 + 1. That's how many years Dustin Wolf has committed to the Calgary Flames after signing a new contract worth 7.75 / yr on September 9th. As training camp gets underway, Flames brass are sorting out the pieces for the 'rebuild'. Despite only one NHL season under his...
Fans Share Disappointment and Excitement For Next Season The Calgary Flames playoff hopes ended mid-way through game 81. Their final ranking in the standings, smack dab in the middle. That's so very, very Flames. Playoff aspirations at the start of the season were...
It started as a meaningless hockey tournament that the NHL planned instead of the All-Star game. No stakes. No rationale. Just 4 Nations and their best NHL players. It ended so much more. Canadians care about our pride, our sovereignty, and sometimes our hockey....
Craig Conroy has made a splash in the trade market arguably upgrading the team in one swoop by sending two players and pics to the Flyers. The deal goes down like this: To the Flames: Joel Farabee Morgan Frost To the Flyers: Andrei Kuzmenko Jacob Pelletier 2025 2nd...
They BARELY did it, but the Flames won a road game, the first since Game 3. They also scored more than 3 goals for the first time in over 20 games. They needed the 4th line to chip in 2 goals, and the D 1, but they did it, but barely. Nashville has fallen off the...
Something special you don't see often in sports. RIP to Johnny and Matty. Columbus home opener with Monahan and Bennett on the ice. Columbus line up with no LW against the Panthers and let 13 seconds come off the clock on the opening draw in honor of Johnny Gaudreau...
Calgary Flames String Together Wins in First Three Games of 2024 Season Who had the Flames going 0-3 beating two rivals in the process? Not me. Hands up? Nobody? But does it feel good? Hell ya. Will it continue? Hell no. Should we be planning the parade like Edmonton...
Craig Conroy is cooking. The GM with a full year at the helm now, has made significant trades jettisoning assets for ... well ... assets. Let's be real, the Flames were buildig to be contenders before Gaudreau and Tkachuk left uncermoniously. Treliving tried a...
Player Grade Notes Mikael Backlund B- A bit of a dip for the 1st year captain and longest tenured Flames. What you get is consistency and that's what Backlund brought every night. It'll be a testament to his leadership how well he leads the team through a tough...
The entire fairy-tale only grew in lore as the team kept winning. First Vancouver, then Detroit (somehow), then SJ, and finally Tampa. Every Flames fan old enough to remember '04 will have their own memories ranging from the Red Mile, the local bar, at home with...
Salty Flames fans have reason to be fuming a day after numerous questionable calls (or non-calls) that contributed to the Flames loss on home ice. 99 times out of a 100 this is a slash in the NHL. Just asking for a little consistency in the officiating....
It was easy in the first quarter of the season to pick apart the lacklustre Calgary Flames. Nothing and nobody were working. But things have changed over the past two months, and if you follow me on Twitter you know it's easier to find the faults than the wins. Well...
Flames have been playing OK since just after Christmas. But then they played one of the worst teams in the NHL, basically an AHL lineup, and they lost--bad. Typical Flames.
In Less Than 1 ½ Years Organization is Totally Different There was a time when Calgarians could make fun of the Edmonton Oilers organization as a whole. Haha, your city is using hundreds of millions of tax payer money to fund a private billionaire's arena build. Haha,...
