Avalanche 6 – Flames 2 The Flames were embarrassed at home in Game 2. Poor effort and the Stars thoroughly outplayed. Well in Game 3 they completely folded. Yes, the referees handed Colorado a 2-0 lead. After that the wheels fell off. Little response from the top players. It’s literally so bad the Flames haven’t played this poorly since the loss at home early in the season against Pittsburgh. It’s bad hockey at the worst time. Not much to say…

The Flames were firing on all cylinders on Thursday, and did the complete opposite on Saturday. Game 2 at home, and faced with an Avalanche top line that was essentially double shifted the entire game, couldn’t get things moving for the life of them. Special teams dead. Top line absent. TJ Brodie demoted. Short handed goal against. The performers were Mike Smith, which is great to see. Sam Bennett with a solid performance and two points. And the 4th line,…

Is it time to hit the panic button ? The Calgary Flames, with their loss last night against the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning, are now in a three-game losing streak which they’ve only experienced three times this season. The cause for concern? Their play as of late. The past month has seen a decline in their overall game. Management is no doubt looking closely at this team, and how they’re faltering in adversity. We all know games change post All-Star…

Calgary are back to their winning ways after the All-Star game with a win vs. Carolina. The team struggled to up their intensity versus Washington in a loss. Tonight there were many times they were hemmed in their own zone, with all 4 lines getting out worked down low. This team has found a knack at winning games when they’re being outplayed and outshot. That’s a big difference from year’s prior. But it doesn’t bode well for their future if…
