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....

If you want evidence of NHL officials taking pre-game bribes then this game was Exhibit A. Well, maybe not, but the referees were horrid. Multiple breakaways and ensuing trips that lead to no calls was the MO of tonight's officials. Did they take away opportunities?...

There haven't been many wins against the Canucks over the years, but every single one is glorious. Beating the most hated franchise in any professional sport is pure bliss. A solid win for the good guys in a Pacific Division rivalry. Calgary and Vancouver are now dead...

Who do thought that at the beginning of the season come beginning of February the Calgary Flames would be sent in second and the Pacific division? Not I, not the pundits, not nobody. What do you think about it this lineup lacks the superstar, doesn't have a prolific...

Calgary Beats Edmonton Yet Again. It must be brutal being an Edmonton Oilers fan. The team had a two goal third period lead, but as we all know by now, third periods are a kind of specialty for the Flames. Four unanswered third period goals and you have a league...

Calgary had a chance to prove they were a playoff caliber team, even an 8th place team, but still, but they showed they're the same old tired Flames. A couple of moments where you thought they'd get in close and score (Byron breakaway), but ultimately they never...

The Calgary Flames have a knack for losing to teams with below .500 ratings. Buffalo came into the city with an 11 game losing streak under their belt. Calgary, after a brief All-Star break, looked to find their winning form. Sitting in the final Wild Card spot in the...

Flames 2 - Wings 3 The Calgary Flames currently sit 9th in the Conference and show signs of being a good team. Only problem is, good isn't good enough. In every facet of the game the team lacks. 5-6th D pairings are terrible, perhaps the worst in the league. They...

After losing eight the Flame shave now turned the tide around Christmas and registered their third in a row beating an elite team in LA twice. It helps that the lowly Edmonton Oilers are in the mix, but two wins against LA in the past 3 games is no small feat. Calgary...

Honestly, didn't expect this one to turn out in a win. After dropping EIGHT straight with only a point in all 8 the Flames arrived in LA facing what should've been their ninth straight loss. There's little offence being generated from deadweight like Glencross and...

And just like that the fairy-tale season for the Calgary Flames is done. Sure, there's still hope they can run .500 from here on in and maybe squeak in, but without any form of offensive scoring you can kiss that hope goodbye. No matter how hard I tried, making fun of...

It's always going to be close, but close isn't good enough when all you need is W's. What separates playoff teams from the rest is how you deal with adversity, particularly preventing multiple losses. Three in a row isn't a mark of a playoff bound team. But before the...

Getting the most bang for your buck, that's what the Calgary Flames are doing this season, second in the league currently for points divided by total salary. It helps when rookies like Josh Jooris are scoring and helping the team to victories. He makes the league...
