With this THIRD shut-out of the season, Chad Johnson back stopped the Flames to a convincing home victory against the refresh Toronto Maple Leafs. Coming off their longest road-swing of the season, the Flames took the lead early scoring twice in the first minute of...

In one of those rare days when both the Calgary Stampeders and Calgary Flames play, and win, the Flames did their part by sticking to their gameplan and pulling out a late game win thanks to the emerging second line lead by Mikael Backlund. Chad Johnson started his...

A photo posted by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on Nov 15, 2016 at 8:10pm PST We've always known that the Minnesota Wild please boring hockey, that means a low scoring game, which maybe, just maybe, gives the Flames a chance, and all you need is a chance for 29th best...

No, the Flames aren't going to fire the coach. No, the team won't turn it around in time. No, the elite players aren't finding their game in time (lead by Gio).

How about that for identity?! A few losses here and there, and two games where a team 'strengthening' their identity had little to show. You know that feeling when you have a kid who's clearly crappy at anything sports related, and even though they have shameless...

The only saving grace for the inconsistent Flames' play is the fact most other Western Conference teams are struggling too. Identity is the key to this team, something they're still trying to find amidst a brand new system deployed by a brand new coaching staff....

Dropped again, 5-1 against Chicago, everyone single person is wondering where the Flames are, particularly the 'top line' that can't get going without a bonafide RW. What we know for sure, they aren't a playoff team. What we're curious about, is whether they can...

The post game review in three bullet points. Dennis Wideman badly out of position on first goal. Fail Wideman. Fail coach for putting Wideman on top D line. No offensive 5v5 production from top line. Fail coach, albeit who are you going to put as a RW on that line?...

Fancy that, a string of games thrown together and a couple wins. The wins are good ,but there are 3 glaring errors that have absolutely no conceivable answer: 1) Why is GRossman playing? 2) Why is Wideman on the top defensive unit? This is incredibly stupid. He's a...

The goalies were on fire in the shoot-out with only Kris Versteeg's 7th round goal the difference maker. This game can be described with two features: 1) Brian Elliot, lucky to be good and good to be lucky. He got lucky but was more good. Make sense? Late in the game...

It's the Carolina Hurricanes. Nobody watches this team. They haven't won a game this season, and for 55 minutes they manhandled the Flames. For their part, the Calgary Flames are a team built with all the players money can buy, but the product on ice is terrible. This...

Four games in and the first win of the season for these Calgary Flames. There were other 'firsts' tonight as well. Matthew Tkachuk scored his first NHL goal to the tie the game late in the 3rd. Chad Johnson, local boy, got his first win as a Flames in net facing his...

The Calgary Flames played in there third game of the regular season with some teams, like the Vancouver Canucks, only starting their season tonight. fit team I played a factor late in the game and, but it doesn't cover up the fact this team looks lost. If it's not...

Edmonton 7 - Calgary 4 After a half-hour delay before puck drop due to a Rogers commercial on their new building, the game finally got underway to open the new season much to the delight of the hometown fans who took in the spectacle in the new arena. Calgarians will...
