Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
The Calgary Flames did make some moves, but most fans will be sitting around rolling their eyes with the hands in the air in a show of surrender. Apparently in order to play for the Flames your Dad had to play for the Flames (Reinhart and Ramage in the draft) or you...
Today the Flames qualified offers to the following RFA: Ian White, Brett Sutter, Kris Chuko, Matt Pelech, Gord Baldwin, Matt Keetley, J.D. Watt and the G Henrik Karlsson. They also put Ales Kotalik on waivers. That means, stemming from last year, the Calgary Flames...
The Flames will twiddle their thumbs until the latter stages of this year's entry draft thanks to bleeding away picks for players that no longer exist in the organizations. but will they really sit idle? All signs point to Sutter pulling the trigger on a deal that...
The schedule is out early this year (right around draft time). Here's how the season shakes down. The Flames will open against the Edmonton Oilers October 7th. October 2010 Date Visitor Home Time (MT) Thu, 7 Oct 2010 Flames Oilers 8:00 PM Sun, 10 Oct 2010...
Calgary Flames vs ??? Either Edmonton or Vancouver (probably the former). Details to come. Update: Gary Bettman, addressing the NHL, today announced that a 'Heritage Classic' will be played outdoors at McMahon Stadium February 20th, 2011 versus the Montreal Canadiens....
Not NHL hockey, although it's interesting to see teams without bonafide #1 C make the playoffs (Jokinen for Cammalleri anybody?), but there are a few Flames and Calgary connections still playing. Firstly, the Worlds are going on in Germany where a record crowd of over...
Before we jump into our in-depth coverage of the debacle that was the 2009-10 Calgary Flames NHL season let's hear from you the fans. What should the ownership do in the off-season? Get rid of the management? Is Jarome safe? How about Regehr? Any big trades? Who do we...
You'll note what I said about last game: ...you're going to get destroyed in Vancouver to emphasize everything that's wrong with this hapless club. The Flames didn't even show up tonight; they were an embarrassment to hockey, the club, and the city. Clearly this club...
The Calgary Flames, against another team not making the playoffs and without 6 of their starters and playing their third string goalie, got embarrassed at home on 'fan appreciation' night. Low scoring with no scoring in the shoot-out (Iginla now 0-4 this year). Thanks...
It's all done. Tonight's loss against SJ and Colorado's impending win, has put the nail in the coffin for the Flames' playoff chances. The league's NUMBER ONE underperforming NHL team won't make the playoffs. The team will break for summer early, look at the...
There's a reason why the Flames will never win the Cup--they aren't a good hockey team. Yes, they are almost playing against the salary cap (the max), but inreality they are overpaid to under perform. But don't you think the Flames should AT LEAST make the playoffs?...
It comes down to this....well actually the last five games are all 'it comes down to this' games. Tonight was particularly important because Calgary was playing the Avalanche who were two points ahead of the FLames holding the 8th and final playoff spot. A win would...
Calgary seems to wanna play hardcore hockey at the tail end of the season. Who would expect that the Flames would be where they are now, in 9th place looking at a glimmer of hope to make the playoffs. They wouldn't be in this place if they played CONSISTENT hockey....
We all hate stupid refs, turns out so does Jim Playfair. Props to him for his wicked rendition of Hulk Hogan. Terrible, terrible call by the official. Too bad the Flames don't have the same passion (I wonder if he replaced those $200 sticks?!)...
*Flames need to win all six of their last six to make the playoffs* I still think there's no hope, but mathematically there is. In true Flames fashion the team showed up for 2/3 of the game today and thankfully scored enough goals in the first period to stave off a...
