Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
If there's one thing Brad Treviling has done is put a solid lineup on paper. He also negotiates very well. The likes of Monahan, Gaudreau, and now Backlund, all would command top dollar on an open market, but play in Calgary for less. Backlund for one, he's taking a...
The Flames are a road team and continued to show their wares across the league visiting the Eastern seaboard in the most recent trip. Although Calgary won 4 of 6, what was even better was how they kept up with the league's best. There were mental break downs in their...
Calgary 3 - NYI 2 Well it's be a while since the Flames pulled out a last minute victory hasn't it? Calgary continued their road pace with their 16th win as they travel along the US Eastern sea board. Tonight was a homecoming of sorts for Travis Hamonic, who returned...
Calgary is the only team that can play against the Division's best team, lead with 1.5 minutes left in the game, and lose 4-2. Nobody else has the capacity to have a massive collapse like the Flames. Sitting out of a playoff spot, a win would vault them to second in...
Calgary came off their break and went back to their inconsistent ways. They head into the All-Star break now, but will face the Oilers tonight. Which team will show up? Who knows. I need to share this though, an awesome graphic by Reddit user Gaskal.
Which Calgary Flames came out of the 5 day mandated break? The December Flames, that's who. That's a non-playoff hockey team in case you're wondering. That team is slow, constantly out battled, has a top line that takes the night off, and can't generate any sense of...
Two weeks ago, with the Flames sitting near the bottom of the Western Conference, you had the sense that without an immediate win streak, the season would be lost before January was out. Well, throw in some good play, a dash of irate coach, and today the Flames site...
Two out of three periods dominant, asleep during the third, and another OT thriller. That about sums up the Flames 4th win in a row, the highest such win-streak of the season. Hat tip to Mike Smith. He's stellar on the road and shut the door tonight. Flames can brush...
Every team that plays the Ducks knows you gotta deal with the dirt. The dirtiest team in the NHL will try to gain their edge playing on the line. It works. It has against the Flames for years, perhaps decades, but you get the the sense the tide is turning. One day...
The Calgary Flames are unbeaten in 2018! Which is to say they've won two in a row. Stringing together wins is something this team has been unable to accomplish since the season started. It's why they're out of a playoff spot and only have a chance of grabbing a Wild...
Flames beat a good team with a solid game. Everything seemed to be clicking, less the top line. What the Flames need, nay, require, now is consistency. Montreal is coming before Christmas. Then it's a brief Cali road swing. They need to string wins together if they...
As the Western Division continues to remain jammed with teams jokeying for playoff position, the Calgary Flames continue their own struggles finding consistency in their game. In the past week the team has gone 1-2-1 suffering defeats when their game has inexplicably...
Consistent hockey is something that eludes the Calgary Flames. Consistency is what separates good teams from the ones who don't make the playoffs. The team is currently hovering around the .500 mark, not good enough for all concerned. After lacklustre efforts at home...
Calgary 3 - Colorado 2 The Calgary Flames ended their six game, 11-day, road trip with a win against the Colorado Avalanche. The Flames come home over .500 on the trip, showed some moments of brilliance, and put up some duds as well. Here are some parting thoughts on...
The Flames should've stayed on the plane. Starting a long road trip, Calgary put up their worst effort of the year one game after putting up their best. The post game summary will be on the Twitter feed @flamesstamps The question will be what the league will do after...
