Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
On the second half of their 6 game road-trip, Calgary is riding out a November hot streak into December. -20 in Calgary, +20 in Phoenix, and Calgary looking for their first win in December. One thing you can't assume, other than warmer weather, is a weak Phoenix...
The Calgary Flames entered Nashville mid-way through their six game road swing down the West. A win would give the Flames points in the last 10 away games and extend their lead on Colorado in the NW division. Nashville has also benefited from 8 wins in the month of...
I'm not a fan of alliteration really I swear. It's hard to criticize a team that's third in the West Division. Let's just say we've been given, as fans, glimpses of what could be, but get frustrated with what really becomes every other night. Tonight, the Flames shut...
Three thoughts on tonight's game: Kipper is money, the Flames don't respond to protect him, and the reffing was an absolute joke. Shut out number two this season for Miikka Kiprusoff in a very hostile environment. Facing over 40 shots, Kipper shut the door despite...
Returning home for one game from a two game road-trip before heading back out for a season high six game road trip, the Calgary Flames were looking to do something they've been collecting on the road--a win. Their fortunes would turn in favour of two points but it...
Riding the success of their captain, the Calgary Flames pulled into Anaheim looking to win a building they've found little success over the years. Fans at home could only hope the team would take another step forward in their development towards adopting the new...
Eight of the next nine games will be on the road, which may not be that bad since the Flames tend to win there. What they haven't been doing at home, or recently in games, is bring a killer instinct of 'firebrand' hockey (the words of coach Sutter) on a game by game...
Calgary Puts in Disgraceful Effort Again Outworked, outplayed, beat up, embarrassed, etc. I don't know what it is about Chicago but Calgary can't beat them. In EVERY SINGLE aspect of hockey the home team was outclassed. Before the game started it had all the markings...
Calgary faced Colorado tonight at home after a three game road trip in an effort to extend their win streak. The hard fought battle went back and forth but Calgary fell short against the division leading Avalanche team. I didn't watch it so can't say much. If anybody...
Calgary entered Toronto around 3:30 AM for the last game of their brief three game road swing out East. In fact, both teams were coming off back to back nights but only one team seemed to have energy. That would be the NHL's second worst hockey team--the Toronto Maple...
The Calgary Flames entered Buffalo without a win in the past nine visits and in the middle of the a three game road-trip that will end tomorrow night in Toronto. Both teams started fast and were at each other early. Calgary scored first a minute in when the second...
The Calgary Flames embarked on a three game road trip starting tonight in Montreal. It's always fun to watch a game when to rival Canadian teams square off, and tonight was no exception. Playing without the suspended Curtis Glencross, the Flames were quick to...
A couple of things came out of practice today for the Flames. Firstly, the NHL named Jarome Iginla the NHL player of the week. Let's hope he can continue his tear on the three game road-trip. One persona who won't be making the trip (or playing in games) is Curtis...
The Calgary Flames did what the Calgary Stampeders couldn't tonight--win. The Stampeders came off a frustrating loss (if you're a fan) against the Roughriders to loose first place in the West Division. The Flames were looking to extend a win streak to three games with...
Coming off a disappointing loss at home, the Flames received a much needed shot in the arm in more ways than one. Firstly, the team went through a bag skate in practice two days ago. Players like Glencross and Iginla were singled out for the lack of production and...
