2016-17 Calgary Flames Taking Shape Post-Draft and Pre-Free Agency
Some moves and some updates from the Calgary Flames front. The NHL Draft went down to the wire, even before it began, with a rumored 3-way trade with Columbus, Edmonton, and Calgary. Nothin materialized and Calgary stuck with the #6 pick, and by some miracle thanks to...
Calgary Flames Fire Bob Hartley – News Conference Highlights
If there was a right time to fire the head coach, about now is the time to do. General Manager Brad Treliving announced this morning that Bob Hartley, and associate coach Jacques Cloutier, will not return to the club. Only one season removed from winning the Jack...
Calgary Flames Smash Vancouver Canucks in Home Finale 7-3
Mikael Backlund Records First Career Hat-Trick If there's one thing you know as a Calgary flames fan it's the shared hatred for the divisional rivals. The recent history between the two teams makes every game prospect for gloating rights. With both teams heading for...
Brian McGrattan vs Daniel Maggio Round 2
Flames suck, but here's something interesting. Round 2 after McGrattan was knocked out by Maggio in January. Let's just say Maggio had no chance.
Flames are garbage
NY 2 - Calgary 1 (OT) Losers again. That is all.
How Bob Hartley is Killing the Flames Mid-Season
It's just past the midway markup the 2015-2016 NHL season and the Calgary Flames hover around bottom bottom of the league. Nobody is expecting them to make this year's playoffs although they might make a late push. Although the players could be blamed for the slow...
Flames Win Wild Affair: Calgary 6 – SJ 5 (SO)
This game had everything. Excitement, scoring, no defence, terrible goaltending, overtime, and a shootout. Calgary went up 4-0 in the first but squandered it off of some ill timed penalties. It's easy to blame the refs, and they were too noticeable, but Calgary shot...
Flames Win 4 – 1 Against Crapcouver
The Calgary Flames may not be making this year's playoffs, but at least they beat their archrivals and everybody's most hated team, the Vancouver Canucks. There're basically only three storylines: - rolling four solid forechecking lines; - a near shutout for Jonah...
Flames Continue Downward Spiral
Kiss the playoffs goodbye. We knew they were out in December, but the Flames are simply a bad hockey club. For a myriad of reasons, this team team won't be in the post-season. Right now, the main reason is there is zero secondary scoring. That's how far away this team...

Loser Flames Continue 20 Minute Efforts for Loss
Calgary 1 - Nashville 2 It's now a foregone conclusion that the Calgary Flames will not be in this year's edition of playoff hockey. The simple reason is the team simply cannot play consistent hockey. For example in tonight's Game day put in a 20 minute effort and got...
Sam Bennett Makes History: Flames 6 – Florida 0
The youngest Flames to score a hat-trick, and the youngest to score four in a game, Sam Bennett, ladies and gentlemen. YOU CAN PUT IT IN THE WIN COLUMN! @sbennett_93 scored 4 goals in a 6-0 win over the #FlaPanthers! A photo posted by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on...
Arizona 2 – Calgary 1
The Calgary Flames dropped and much needed two points against their divisional rivals who sit two points ahead in the standings. The main problem? Lack of scoring. With Kari Ramo at the top of his game the offence has dried up. The top line hasn't produced a point in...
Flames Register First Shut Out of Season: Calgary 4 – Colorado 0
It was the night where if you were a Colorado Avalanche fan the setting was perfect. Jarome Iginla sitting at 599 goals and looking for a number is 600 against his old team. Despite all of the hoopla, Calgary pushed back in their second game following the Christmas...
