Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
As the Flames languish in 32 place there are a few key reasons why the almost playoff team is worst in the league: too many passengers. If the Flames were interested in putting the best team on the ice game in and game out you would see a few changes. Take for example...
I can't remember a time where the Flames' fanbase has been this 'OK' with constantly losing. The Flames have two wins eleven games into the season effectively putting any playoff chances out of reach before November even begins. On Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena,...
First off, was it just me or does Nick Suzuki use the butt end of his stick on face-offs against opposing players? Just me.... The Calgary Flames continue stacking losses led by the usual suspects. Nazem Kadri completely MIA and off in his own world. The powerplay,...
Kadri Takes Another Night Off After taking it on the chin in Vegas in front of a national audience, the Calgary Flames were looking to rebound against a tough Winnipeg team. The effort was there, but the typical laziness crept into the game. Nazem Kadri had perhaps...
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...
