Something about the playoffs brings out really neat moments in our city.
Prior to Game 6, after the disappointing Game 5 win, the Calgary Flames third line center Mikael Backlund had some word for the media where he guaranteed a win a la Mark Messier. He retracted that later on saying, "I didn't guarantee a win, I just said we weren't...
With the season on the line, and in front of their hometown, the Canucks threw everything they had at the Flames and barely squeaked by with a victory. Although they controlled most of the play, Calgary still had a chance to tie it up in the third period. (Corsi stat...
Scored tickets last minute to this doozy and BAM! what a game it was! I've been to playoff games all through 2004, 2009, and today, and I can say without a doubt, this is not only different, but it was the loudest! Go Flames Go! View from here....
After six years long years, and only two years into a promising rebuild, the Flames brought playoff hockey back to Calgary. This city has been largely on pause since the playoffs began, today being no exception with fans spilling into the streets around the Dome early...
Well that's how it feels, winning a playoff game. It's been a while. So long fact that many of you are too young to remember it! Last week Calgary clinched a playoff position despite being only two years into a rebuild (eat your heart out of Edmonton). To make matters...
Think back to the beginning of October, a recent snow storm was fresh and the memory in the Calgary Flames were questionable to move past 12th place in the Western Conference. Nobody knew how a team with out any superstars were performed. Would Johnny Gaudreau be able...
The Calgary Flames bested the lowly Arizona Coyotes, as they should have, although it was a nailbiter until the end. Leading the way was the top line. Sean Monahan continue to impress notching us 31st goal of the year. Johnny Gaudrean opened the scoring in the first,...
Is it just me or are the St. Louis Blues the worst team in the NHL when it comes to clutch, grab, and slash? I guess when you're one of the top teams in the league you can get away with anything. Today's game would've been nice a win and would have solidified...
The playoffs are one step closer after Calgary took four points in their most recent back-to-back road games vs Nashville and Dallas. Last night, the Flames scored 5 goals, including two from Lance Bouma (hate to see what his contract year will cost...) Calgary got...
With only 9 games remaining in the season the young Calgary Flames team dropped more points against a non-playoff contending team. Surprisingly at this point in the season the team appeared ill-prepared. With one of the top PKs in the league, largely because they...
Calgary 0 - St Louis 4 Calgary doesn't really play games where the goalies steal shutouts. There were a few odd games early in the season where Hiller stole some points, but since then, not much happening. You don't win games if you can't score, and surprisingly...
Trade deadline 2015 has come and gone and the Calgary Flames were left with a few options and some surprises. Curtis Glencross was traded before the deadline for a 2nd and 3rd round draft pick in this year's class. Schlemko was picked up off the waiver wire to dive...
On what planet do losers get rewarded with points? Well, actually, lots of sports, but so few have the point scheme the NHL does, and teams that win more games actually sit lower in the standings. Once again, this is why the shootout and loser point is just shite....
