Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
Calgary 4 - Capitals 5 (SO) That's what the pundits are saying, this Flames roster is 'up there' as one of the worst. Hockey 'analysts' (honestly, I give the same credence to awesome bloggers as I do to TSN 'analysts' *cough*Aaron Ward*cough*), pit the Flames to...
#1 draft picks don't have a stellar career when picked by the Flames organization. A brief history of Calgary Flames first rounders and GP with the Flames: 2006 - Leland Irving 13 career GP 2005 - Matt Pelech 7 career GP 2004 - Kris Chucko - 2 career GP 2000 - Brett...
The new NHL season is upon us, a full 82 game slate to entertain local fans. 48 home games with each NHL team on the schedule will make for an interesting season. What everyone is talking about is three-fold: 1) Who will be captain (since there's not much contention...
By now news from Flames camp has hit most flood ravaged Flames fans (and those high and dry). The FLames shipping their only notable offensive player with games under his belt for a 'used to be a 20 goal scorer' in David Jones. Sarich for O'Brien a clear win, but...
Well lots going around Flames-land, most notable of course being the loss of significant portions of Saddledome memorabilia. We're talking 1989 and more. The loss of history won't be fully known till the Flames release that information, but all that said and done, the...
Calgary continues their torrid pace to the bottom of the league, which at this point means a first round draft pick (they they'll no doubt squander on some unknown college kid). Playing Vancouver for the second time in 3 games was much of the same. Calgary dominating...
Abysmal. Apparently 'rebuild' means quit to the Flames players.
So, another trade deadline has come and gone and Flames fans are left licking there scars. Granted we did trade Iggy for a 1st, J-Bo for a potential 1st and got Blake Comeau off of the books (a win in any case) but why does this trade deadline feel so....incomplete?...
It sounds like the same headline from the Iginla trade from what seems like ages ago. Jay Boumeester, and his 6.68 million dollar price tag, is headed to St Louis is exchange for a career minor league defenceman (some will say he's a 'prospect'), St Louis conditional...

Jarome Iginla Dealt to Penguins The whole country seemed to stop, or in the least too notice. Local hockey fans young and old, seasoned or bandwagoners, were stunned. With the Calgary Flames slipping out of playoff contention yet again, it became apparent was a...
Calgary had all the opportunities to win this game but defensive breakdowns and a complete lack of offence meant yet another road loss. Double Standards: Protect the Goalies Most fans will be lambasting the referees for their shoddy calls all game. True enough, the...
The Calgary Flames capitalized on a shaky Pekka Rinne and a tired Nashville Predator lineup by potting 6 goals en route to a 6-3 victory and their second win in a row. The Flames currently sit near the bottom of the Western Conference and fans are starting to jump on...
Maybe they took advantage of a tired team playing their second game is as many nights. Maybe they have just the right mix to start winning games. Whatever the cause, Calgary appears to be an improved team with the meagre tinkering that's gone on in the past few days....
Season over? It seems every 3rd post-game report by FlamesForum contains 'pathetic Flames'. Well, they certainly are. Given chance after chance to make hay and move ahead in the rankings, they squander it due to lazy play and atrocious defensive zone coverage....
