FlamesForum Prediction True I was planning on being wrong, in fact, I wanted to be wrong. But it turns out my prediction in March about the first round exit and finishing 5th was EXACTLY what happened. The entirety of the season, and the entirety of Vancouver's walk...
Game Over: Golf for Loser Flames We were promised a better effort, we got a bunch of no shows. Everyone said the right things, but the only people who showed up for the game was the crowd. You also got the impression that Todd Bertuzzi is in his own stupid world....
Game 6 in Calgary : Dustin Boyd with an assist from Adam Pardy scored the lone Flames goal in the 5-1 loss on Saturday, but fans can only be thankful to the judgmental and bias calls that have enabled the Blackhawks to take a 3-2 lead. Nevertheless, the series is far...

Calgary opened their 2008-09 playoffs at home in front of a largely subdued crowd. The Flames required an exceptional effort from their big guns in an attempt to thwart Chicago's dominance on the series. With the likes of Havlat and Toews dominating the series thus...
Hello Hockey fans, Iginla notches a power play goal with assists from Cammalleri and Phaneuf ! Albeit the Flames lost two games to the Chicago Blackhawks, but their performance overall had been good considering the three overlooked penalties and the goal tender...
Three reasons why Calgary lost another heartbreaking game in Chicago. 1) Line combos are messy and there is zero continuity. Second goal tonight against was largely a result of players not knowing where they were supposed to be on the ice. 2) Iginla is a non factor. A...
