Last Second Win: Calgary 5 – New Jersey 4 (SO)

Somehow the Calgary Flames continue to find ways to come from behind and win games. Despite suffering perhaps their worst defensive performance of the season, they found a way to claw back and score twice with the net empty late to tie and ultimately win in the...

You can put it in the win column! Flames 4 – Anaheim 3 (SO)

So much to talk about with this game so let's jump in. Prior to the contest bloggers around town were using their inept stats skills to predict the eventual demise of the Flames season. Yes, I would agree they can't keep the same level they've been playing at, but...

Calgary 4 – Ottawa 2

Another win to make it two in a row for the Flames, and their second in a row at home. Nobody really knows how long this win streak will last for the club, but we'll take it while it lasts. The reason why you can't bank on consistency just yet is because every night...

Come From Behind Win: Flames 6 – Florida 4

After the first period you thought about the Flames of old, how the team can't find consistency, how it was the same old same old. If you get outworked and ultimately lose to Florida, one of the league's bottom feeders, you question the state of your own rebuild. That...

Flames Smash Canadiens 6-2

Well you didn't really expect this one. Calgary outplayed Montreal the last time the teams meet last week at home. Montreal won in a shoot-out. TOnight, Calgary badly outplayed the Canadiens at home, a place where no team in the NHL has picked up a point this year....

Flames Lose to Montreal in Shootout 2-1

I had a bet with a neighbour who quickly took the Flames to win. Fine, I'll take Montreal, after all, for a beer, they are the top team in the East. I didn't expect a Flames team to largely dominate. They looked really good 5v5 and took control most of the game. Where...

Flames Drop Canes 5-0

If you want to have a look at a team that's not really good and probably playing for the top draft pick next year then tonight was the night. Although the Carolina Hurricanes have a number of key injuries, Calgary was dominant in all facets of the game. They looked...

Flames Squander Point in Snore Fest vs Tampa

Calgary 1 - Tampa Bay 2 (OT) Calgary returned home after a length two week road trip which saw the team exceed expectations. With a 5 game homestand coming up, the Flames looked to extend their point streak to, well, two games. Here are some thoughts. TJ Brodie is...

Hot and Cold: Flames Lose in Columbus

At this rate my prediction of a slightly better, but not much, season points wise will work out. Calgary is on-again/off-again, winning one, and then losing one. I guess you could say they should've lost in Chicago. They should've lost in Columbus tonight and they...

Four Points in Two Nights for Flames

With next year's entry draft probability effectively a crapshoot, the Flames winning games here and there isn't so bad. It's been a see-saw first few games for the club with their hot and cold play game in and game out. Versus Nashville last night the team pulled...

Flames Rolled in the Lou 4-1

If you want an idea of how far away the Flames are from being a good team then look no further than this game. Every facet of the game was St Louis. There was no single time in this game that Calgary had control. Top to bottom the team was manhandled. Although this is...

Hat-Trick for Raymond: Calgary 5 – Edmonton 2

The longest rebuild in NHL history will continue as the league's hapless Edmonton Oilers continue to look for answers despite being given #1 draft pick after #1 pick for what seems like a decade. You do'nt build Championship teams by stacking your top two lines with...

2014-2015 Calgary Flames Season Opener

The puck drops on another hockey season for the Calgary Flames. A lot of red in the stands and a new look Sportsnet for fans watching at home. The starting lineup includes a couple of new faces, especially on left-wing and in goal. Calgary opened the season against...

2014-2015 Calgary Flames Season Predictions

Can you feel it in the air? The brand new NHL season is only one sleep away! The Calgary Flames enter the season in year #2 (is that official?) of their rebuild plans. So what can we expect from the team this year? Will they be worse off? Better? Will they slip to #30...
