Question Marks After 10 Game Mark

10 games into the 2019-20 season there are some questions for this year's Calgary Flames. For one, is the lineup good enough? There were essentially no changes, minus James Neal, who is leading the league in goals, and a couple of other Oilers cast offs. But that's...

5-1 Flames Stomp Detroit

Well how about that secondary scoring? The Flames have been missing lines 3 and 4 in the past week but a challenge by the coach over the weekend seems to have temporarily changed things. As the top line looks about average, the 3rd line stepped in over the past two...

First Shoot-Out Win in Forever: Calgary 3 – Dallas 2 (SO)

Flames Toast. Playing Worst Hockey of Season: Game 3 Bust

Avalanche 6 - Flames 2 The Flames were embarrassed at home in Game 2. Poor effort and the Stars thoroughly outplayed. Well in Game 3 they completely folded. Yes, the referees handed Colorado a 2-0 lead. After that the wheels fell off. Little response from the top...

Flames Drop Lazy Game 2. Series Tied

The Flames were firing on all cylinders on Thursday, and did the complete opposite on Saturday. Game 2 at home, and faced with an Avalanche top line that was essentially double shifted the entire game, couldn't get things moving for the life of them. Special teams...
