Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
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...
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...
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...
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.
NY 2 - Calgary 1 (OT) Losers again. That is all.
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...
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...
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...
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...
A photo posted by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on Jan 31, 2016 at 5:26pm PST It's been over a decade since I last watched an All-Star game but the hoopla around John Scott piqued my interest enough to turn on the game (I just get the skills competition). What can I...
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...
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...
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...
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...
It was nice to see Dennis Wideman take exception to Ryan Kesler's late game antics, putting the puck in the Flames' empty net after the buzzer sounded. Too bad Wideman doesn't get mad like that on ice when it matters. As for Kesler? I can count on 3 fingers the...
