Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
This is what I predict: the Flames will beat Edmonton Saturday and turn their season around. If they don't, it's all over and we can safely say that this team is worse than the 'Young Guns' teams from the early nineties. Tonight, Calgary lost yet again, although...
Again, a short post to emphasize how uninterested I am in blogging about the Calgary Shames. Now they have lose 11 in the last 12 and only sit behind the Oilers as the worst team in the NHL these days. Solution? Nothing. Iginla? Can't score in the SO to save his life...
It's getting worse and nobody wants to do anything to fix it. No changes to lineup, no changes to plays, no changes even to line combinations. When you can't even score a goal and you loose 7 straight (10 in the last 11) you know something ain't right. But nobody...
Garbage Again Technically Chicago is a better team than SJ if you take a look at the current standings. If thats' the case you should expect the Flames to loose 11-1 instead of 9-1 like they did Monday. Sutter did not change the lines one bit, that meant the same...
It's been years since the Flames have been outscored by eight goals, I can't even find the stat. Here's the thing, I don't have enough adjectives or superlatives to describe how terrible the Calgary Flames played tonight, but what I do know, is that management and the...
Anaheim may not be playing well this season but they have the Flames' number. All meetings this year have gone to Anaheim. Tonight, on a three game losing streak, Calgary started well, Oli Jokinen's 10th gave them the early lead. A minute later the house of cards came...
Things are so bad that Calgary can't even score ONE. The Flames have been dominating opponents since the Vancouver game, outshooting, out hitting, but just coming up short because of lack of finishing touch. Tonight, the coach changed the lines completely and it just...
That a boy. Vancouver Canuck fans think this is an embarrassment. Dude's just having fun. Embarrassment is shining green laser at opposing netminders and bitching to the world on TV that you got called for diving when you are worse then French soccer players--that's...
Since Vancouver Calgary has turned around the ship in terms of defensive play (almost 100%) and offense (over 30 shots for the fourth game in a row). The folks not turning it on is the first line, in particular Jarome Iginla. Iginla has picked an inopportune time to...
It seems as though every game between divisional rivals from now on will be a fight for first place in the NW. Winner takes first, loser goes to 8th, quite the jump. Tonight Calgary was trying to win two games in a row against top divisional teams. Saturday they beat...
Idiot Vancouver Fans Toilet of NHL If there's one great thing about Vancouver and Calgary games is that they are always intense and exciting games. If there's one thing that ruins a game is impartial national CBC play by play. For the most part the re-match of the...
Jason Jaffray's stint with the Flames lasted two games, now he's back on his way to the AHL. That means Craig Conroy will likely return to the line up Friday. In other news. Ex-Flames host prospect Daniel Ryder, was arrested in Newfoundland trying to rob a convenience...
Didn't catch this one but from the highlights the Flames were outplayed and were very messy on defense. Couple that with quiet offence and you get the impression that this team won't be winning huge games unless they get their D plan consistent and the scoring starts...
It seems like yesterday when the Flames were on a horrible losing streak. Xmas must have done a number on the team because recently they've been on a tear. You wouldn't really notice it either given the style of play. The team went back to defensive basics and have...
The Calgary Flames made it four in a row with a home win versus the lowly (almost lower than the Oilers) Toronto Maple Leafs on retro night. I'm surprised people still cheer for this hapless team but alas, once a Leaf fan always a Leaf fan (at least in hiding.)...
