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,...
It's mid-way through this 2022-23 NHL season and the Calgary Flames are struggling to find consistency to their game. The off-season acquisitions have certainly thrown the overall makeup of the team for a loop that they haven't been able to solve 41 games into the...
The Calgary Flames have had a November to forget. After starting the season well it's been a solid face-plant into the ice since. Over 15 games in November the Flames have managed 5 wins and 4 of those in regulation. It was 4 wins in 14 games until last night against...
The Calgary Flames are not known for winning games early in the season. Slow starts are the MO. Part of the club identity. Well, we can safely say that all of the years of early disappointment have dissipated. It's not easy to watch the team pile up wins when you feel...
Collections from Around the Web Well, if you're anything like me, you walked away from hockey after the second round exit courtesy of a goal called back over an apparent 'kicking motion', and an egregious Johnny Gaudreau giveaway that sealed the loss. We didn't know...
It was a late Sunday night, which meant work for the majority of viewers the next morning, but every Flames fan sat glued to the very edge of their seats as overtime unfolded in the best of seven series. Dallas took Calgary to the bring despite being badly outplayed...
**EDIT, FLAMES FACE DALLAS MAY 3rd for the best of 7 series!*** When the season started did you predict at all the outcome of this season? The Calgary Flames a top of the Pacific Division? Careers from multiple players? We knew Darryl Sutter was going to lead the team...
As the world continues to deal with the global pandemic, NHL hockey continues to operate in the background. This year's iteration of the Calgary Flames are exhibiting quintessential 'Sutter' qualities. Tough defence, low shots against, maximizing offensive...
