Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.

The latest installment of the Battle of Alberta that saw numerous majors: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm32NEKoJ_w] HockeyFights.com (bless them) ranked Moreau with the 86% win. Actually, Hockeyfights.com is cool, the idiot Yankees who vote in the system...
Battle of Alberta Rages On The second game in a week between provincial rivals went down in Calgary early Saturday evening. The highly anticipated event comes soon after the most recent brush up in Edmonton last week where fists were flying but Edmonton took the upper...
Just in time for Valentine's day I thought we'd show you the lighter side of hockey--the lovin. It's time we divulge the worst kept secret in the NW division. Zack Stortini, 'tough guy' for the Edmonton Oilers, is hands down the crappiest lover in the NHL. Need proof?...
*Six Year Deal Confirmed* Flames fans should be happy to know that it is now official, Dion Phaneuf will remains a Flame into the 2015 season. Details below. The rumor mills have been swirling and fans have been sitting on the fence regarding the impending contract...
They didn't deserve it. There I said it. Quite frankly, if it wasn't for a last second goal with 7 seconds left in the game Flames fans would be crying for blood. The reality is the team played marginally better than they have in the last couple games and would be...
Having only played two games since the All-Star break, the Calgary Flames were well rested against a Dallas team that played last night in Edmonton. The usual dead crowd did nothing to help along the home-team so it was about 10 minutes before things really got...
The Flames yelled on to take 2 points in a gritty divisional game and reclaim top spot in the NW division before the all-star break. The top line was silenced for most of the game whereas Stephane Yelle scored his second in a row and helped on the eventual game-winner...
The Calgary Flames returned to their winning ways by taking their second in a row against a LA team that, in all honesty, they are expected to beat. At this point in the season the team has been consistent in one thing--inconsistency. A strong December was followed by...

The Calgary Flames goaltending tandem went from one of the most questionable to, at least on paper, one that appears solid. Curtis Joseph, a 40 year old netminder recently off a Spengler Cup victory, opted for the Flames to play out the remainder of the season. His...
The battle of Alberta was re-kindles in Edmonton on a rare Sunday evening game between the two provincial rivals. Unfortunately for Calgary, the same issues that have plagued the team since day 1 cost them two points. The inability to clear the zone successfully along...
The Flames started and ended strong. Despite a third period set back that saw the LA Kings climb back into the game and take the lead with three goals, Calgary found a way to respond with three of their own to pull out the win. The top line dominated again and pulled...
Calgary arrived in San Jose late in the night to prepare for their second game in as many nights. The line-up would change only slightly with Primeau getting back in and Boyd sitting out (possibly to be sent down soon?) The Flames, despite their turnaround, came out...
It's not too often Eastern teams visit the Dome but the hometown fans had an opportunity to see the likes of Jagr, Gomez, and Shannahan. Calgary looked to roll on their two game win-streak at home before heading off on the road. It was the home team who managed to...
