Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
Some say Calgary's spanking by San Jose, the outright 1-6 embarrassment earlier in November, coupled with a 1-6 loss to Chicago two games prior, was the turning point for the team. Since those losses the team has captured 33 of a possible 44 points (.750). However,...
Three fights on tap so I figured I'd upload them here. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa5mmZBYM8M] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3MFreVwhBo] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UQZSkrZPIk] And another one for good measure....
In their second game in as many days the Calgary Flames, along with workhouse Miikka Kiprusoff, staged off against the Chicago Blackhawks who returned themselves to the indoor rink after their stint against Detroit at Wrigley Field. Calgary had difficulty getting...
Calgary's four game win streak was extended to five with a come from behind win against the Nashville Predators. The Flames struggled to provide any spark for their play allowing the home squad Nashville bring the play to their level. Nashville opened the scoring...
Calgary is slowly chipping away at the top of the NW division taking in points in the past seven games. Whereas Minnesota, once a threat to lead the division have been struggling to win games in their boring and stifling trap system. The Flames seemed to succumb to a...
Calgary scored two third period goals, from two Iginla assits, and Brett Sutter made his NHL debut and scored his frist goal to help Calgary capture two points. Notable downsides were the the minus efforts by Phaneuf yet again. Iginla was on the ice too for many goals...
The winning streak ends at two for the Flames as they lose 3-2 in over time against the Chicago Blackhawks. Something certainly seemed amiss in their performance as they stumbled on home ice. Despite the disappointing loss, congratulations are in place for the...
Calgary continued their brief road-trip playing their second game in as many night versus their division rivals the Minnesota Wild. The same lineup road into St. Paul ready to play but started off with sluggish feet. We all know Minnesota is a terribly boring team...
Calgary faced the prospect of losing four games straight facing the lowly and damaged St. Louis Blues on the road. Much discussion has been made regarding the play of the top players, Dion Phanuef, Kiprusoff, and of course the absence of a dominant Jarome Iginla. The...
The Calgary Flames entered their first home game after a eastern road-swing hoping to prevent a three game lose streak. Unfortunately, in order to win, Calgary needs to have their stars show up. That means Dion Phaneuf, a defenceman, plays defence, and Jarome Iginla,...
The Calgary Flames landed in Detroit at 3:30 AM local time thanks to some ridiculous scheduling and bad weather. Thankfully, the Flames put in a valiant effort in a bid to regain top spot in the West Division. Coming off an inconsistent effort in Montreal, Calgary put...

So many bloggers are wondering out loud why Sean Avery was suspended six games for his 'sloppy seconds' outburst in front of the media in Calgary Tuesday. According to TSN the Dallas Stars may have shut the Avery door permanently (someone internally will get backlash...
Entering St. Louis Calgary embarks on one of their longest road-trips of the season. On year ago the Flames turned their crappy season around by winning six straight on the road. The importance of this road trip for the notoriously inconsistent Flames will probably...
