Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
In another tank year, it's hard to find reasons for optimism looking at the Calgary Flames right now. The team is coming off a season where they should've drafted higher but the NHL lottery is just that--a lottery that rewards the same teams over and over again. Yet...
The 2026 NHL Draft Lottery delivered mostly frustration across the league as the darling Toronto Maple Leafs somehow landed the top spot. Gary Bettman's excuse was simple: the league doesn't reward losing. But here's the thing the league does do: rewards teams that...
Rebuild In FULL Swing 1PM EST rolled around and Flames fans were left fuming. To that point team made exactly one move at trade deadline. Was it Blake Coleman? Nazem Kadri? Lomberg? Waiver pickups Hanley or Pachal? Nope. Craig Conroy added...Dylan Strome from Anaheim....
Not sure who saw this coming, but Craig Conroy pulled the trigger on a blockbuster with the Utah Mammoth. The details: Calgary Olli Matta Jonathan Castagna 3 - 2nd Round picks in 2026 Utah Mackenzie Weegar The deal essentially moves 5 years of Weegar's contract to...
Nowhere else on earth would a country collectively mourn two silver medals at the Olympics. But this is Canada, and this is hockey. Add in current geopolitical realities and you can understand why Canada vs. USA had deep implications to the national psyche beyond just...
It's trade season which means every rumor and pundit out there is laying out their best guesses on what might go down come deadline. It's no surprise the Flames are sellers looking to continue their rebuild. Kadri is a trade chip but the return needs to make sense for...
The Rasmus Andersson sweepstakes have concluded. The deal? Andersson to Vegas Zach Whitecloud 2027 1st 2027 2nd (potential upgrade to 1st if Vegas wins the Cup, not happening) D Abram Weibe That's a 1st, a 2nd, and Whitecloud who will be flipped for another pick in...
Hey the Flames are back to .500! Murray Edwards is definitely going to add vets at the trade deadline! So the Flames are back in the playoff race, but in the weirdness of the Western Conference, also sit five points out the very bottom. So although some days the...
Management got on TV and rather than GM Craig Conroy, it was President, Don Maloney. Don Maloney full of baloney. yada yada. Some internet pundits lost their minds with the interview(s). I saw the first one live, it wasn't bad. It was what a team exec would say. The...
The Flames found retribution against their divisional rivals the Vancouver Canucks. With 3 straight wins after an abysmal start, one of the worst in franchise history, they no longer sit 32nd in the league. In true Flames fashion, they will probably go on a run, show...
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...
