Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
Defence Falters - Playoffs Questionable Calgary may miss the playoffs, and four straight losses on this brief road trip could mean the end. What's worse, Calgary came into Atlanta and dominated the first period. It makes sense, considering the team had a slow start...
Special Teams Make the Difference The two MVP candidates faced each other in a rare meeting in Washington. The early game pitted Jarome Iginla against league the goal leader in the NHL Alex Ovechkin. Calgary sought to being their four game road-trip out east with a...
Jarome Iginla became the franchise leading goal-scoring leader with this 365th goal in the first period of the Flames’ 7-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues. Calgary's offense exploded as players snapped droughts and benefited from a little bit of luck as well. The...
Miikka Kiprusoff recorded his second shutout of the season in a game that saw the Flames return to their old dirty tricks. By dirty tricks I mean the 'trick' they pull about talking how they'll play a great and hard fought game but really they pull out a junker....
Parker v Godard 2008 [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLWQr8jW8Aw] Feb 24-29 Flames Fights Phaneuf Beats Bertuzzi [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzjwR6-9SCE] Vandermeer does well against Parros...
Are the Ducks really THAT good? Sure they reaped the benefit of 'timely' un-retired players, but are they THAT dangerous? Admittedly, the team has a number of working parts, but man, if their goalie interference and instigators are called as per rule book then I can't...
Chalk one up for the refs--again. Calgary succumbed to their repeated trips to the penalty, including a WEAK OT call against Iginla, by allowing two goals, one in the final frame and one in OT. Despite leading for almost 45 minutes Calgary dropped a much needed point...
The West just got tougher, and it's the top teams that bolstered their lineup. With a few hours before trading deadline the San Jose Sharks acquired top defencemen Brian Campbell from Buffalo for Steve Bernier and a first round draft pick. The Dallas stars greatly...
Coming off a solid (although not 100% convincing) win against Detroit at home, Calgary had a chance to push closer to number 1 in the NW division. Coming into a usually hostile Minnesota building it was the visitors that came out flying. Calgary limited the shots for...
Calgary has come off their last game of a 5 game road-trip with six of a possible 10 points. Given the fact they squandered an easy two in LA and the environment at home amongst fans calling for blood, the Flames went .600 on the road trip. Things could be worse, but...
Calgary arrived in Dallas at 4AM to finish their five game road swing. A win would help them salvage a road-trip with six overall points. Not so bad given the two game loss debacle early in the week. Last time these two teams met Calgary was embarrassed, actually...
The Philadelphia Flyers have sent tough guy defenceman Jim Vandermeer to the Flames for a 2009 third round pick. Vandermeer, 27, has three goals, 15 points and 71 penalty minutes in 54 games this season with the Blackhawks and Flyers. He was originally signed as a...
I only caught about half this game, but WTF?! Honestly, people, please, explain what the hell is wrong with this team? Great showing tonight, a near complete game, but they crap their pants for the two games prior? Are they going to poop the sheets tomorrow too? We'll...
Calgary Flames Just Can't Produce On Ice This team's gotta be bi-polar. Fresh off their most recent California shalacking against the lowly Kings, Calgary came out with a taste of bitterness against the Ducks. A sense of urgency, something that's seen every other game...
Yes fans, the score is correct. Calgary lost against one of the worst teams in the NHL. Should you be surprised? Probably not, the team has been playing below average for almost a month now. Is there cause for concern? I'd say so. With a talented club and a coach...
