Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
News out of the Calgary Flames office today is that after the Bourque signing they like Matt Stajan enough to give him a four-year deal worth 3.5 million. The price is right, let's hope he performs up to expectations (2 million less than Jokinen, and 1.5 mill less...
The next generation of hockey fans won't be provided anecdotes of the great game of '72, the World championship wins, the Gold Medal game in 2004. No, fans of tomorrow will all hear about the clutch performance by the 2010 Gold Olympic Medal Men's hockey team who beat...
We were wondering if UFA Rene Bourque would be back next year, or whether the Flames would yet again part with another LW. Turns out he has signed as reported by the Flames. Yes, there is still NHL hockey going on despite the country being glued to the TV to watch the...
Brodeur and Babcock to Blame The Own the Podium campaign has been a bust. But everyone has said so long as we win gold in hockey we'll put up with the below average performance by the rest of the Olympians. But what happens if we lose in the quarters? Canada's...
Calgary will go into the two week Olympic break with a win, something they' found only 5 times in the last 17 games. Who would've thought that the Flames would be struggling for 8th place. It's like 2004 all over again....mind you the outcome then was pretty good....
At this point of the year every game is crucial because if you're out of a playoff spot before the Olympics, you probably aren't going to the post-season this year. Turns out the Calgary Flames players haven't got that message yet. Even following Calgary's monster...
I wish Ottawa was an American team so we could blame Gary Bettman. Or maybe we'll blame Stphane Auge who was the primary official tonight. Or better yet, blame the nation's capital for, I dunno, proroguing parliament or something. Tonight an otherwise exciting game...
I could go on and on about how cheap the win was against the Flames tonight but nobody would care. Tampa Bay (and Florida) exists in America's wang where nobody gives a damn about hockey so covering those games is pointless. Nonetheless here is a quick run down of the...
The 'New' Flames started their first game on a brief Eastern road trip visiting the sunny skies of Florida. In fact, the Flames won't leave until after their game tomorrow against Tampa Bay. Most fans are still uneasy with the new look, many haven't seen the likes of...
Edmonton beat Carolina two days ago, Calgary was expected to win. However, that's not a gimmie especially given the fact a third of the lineup has changed in two games. New Flames Kotalik and Higgins drew in th elineup and played with Langkow. Neither played much of a...
You are the heart of diehard fans who always thrive to see you succeed; whether it is against the Edmonton Oilers or the Chicago Blackhawks. Whether you win some or lose some, our feelings never change. The month of January had been terrible for everyone: for you and...
The news finally went through, a day late, but it's final. Some bad news coming out of Flames land yet again, this time another deal, which would be considered blockbuster if it weren't for yesterday's transaction, with under-performing centerman Oli Jokinen at the...
Four New Flames Debut Darryl Sutter has the balls to make big trades. But in reality they do nothing to change the heart of the team. OK, it's too early to make any conclusions, but after the 6-1 drubbing of the Oilers Saturday, Calgary folded the tent and the new...
On behalf of all the Calgary Flames's fans, I take this opportunity to thank Dion Phaneuf for his contributions as a member of the Calgary Flames Defense. You will be missed and remembered for your offensive efforts during the powerplay and we will cheer for your when...
The only worthwhile draft pick of Darryl Sutter's entire career as GM has been traded to Toronto for little more than a defensive defenceman, two UFAs, and Niklas Hagman. Sutter traded Dion Phaneuf in a monster blockbuster trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Phaneuf...
