Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
The talk around a potential new arena to replace the fabled Saddledome has picked up in recent weeks. The Flames brass lead by Ken King and Brian Burke, are of course starting to get the PR wheels churning in support of City and Province to pony up support for a new...
Calgary is a solid 6-0-1 after a loss and continue to beat teams that are bigger and more skilled. With reinforcements on the way, the Flames played their second of three games on the road rolling through California and Arizona on Saturday. With the win tonight...
How long has it been since the FLames have won in Anaheim? 9 years? Something like that. Calgary needs to find a way to play their third periods in the first two, or at least improve period 1 because they routinely fall behind. No game review, just copy and paste from...
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...
I've rewatched this video probably 20 times. Hilarious!
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
