Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
Evidently the Calgary prospects in net aren't that great. Daryl Sutter announced Miikka Kiprusoff as the goalie for the foreseeable future, acknowledging him as a key component of the Calgary Flames for many years to come. The deal can extend up to six years and will...
Terrible special teams and the inability to play with the lead late caused Calgary to loose exceptionally important divisional points. The second of eight meetings between the two teams took place this time at home for the Flames. The game started with enough energy...
Good thing this one wasn't on TV because you and I would have shut it off at the end the first. Calgary went down 0-3 after 20 minutes of play, the team re-assuring their fans that lackluster playing was going to be the norm. Kiprusoff was his usual average self and...
It was fitting that the San Jose Sharks arrived on the day Owen Nolan played his 1000th NHL game considering he spent time captaining the team he played for eight seasons. Both teams watched as Nolan received gift after gift for the achievement, which by no means...
From the get go the Calgary Flames looked like the stronger club. Playing their second game of a lengthy homestand the Flames start and finished strong. The PP scored 3 times including the opening goal less than 2 minutes into the game. With the installation of new...
The Calgary Flames took the second installment of this year's Battle of Alberta (BoA), but for some reason swept under the rug of the victory was the blatant hit to head by Raffi Torres. The refs didn't see the play and called a tripping penalty, but replays clearly...
Coming home for their longest homestand of the year Calgary was looking to start things right and get back into 60 minute hockey and more points. Well things started out poor. Less than 5 minutes in with fans still finding their seat Calgary went down 3v5 and had a...
A four goal lead blown. Enough said. Calgary played hard for half a game and ended up losing 5-4 in a shootout (complete with 'i suck at shootouts' Kiprusoff in net). Albeit Colorado was lucky to score 3 of their goals (bounces off Flames defenders), a divisional...
2-3 so far on this road trip, not so bad. A couple of losing streaks in opposing buildings broken, not so bad. A couple of road wins back to back and a team starting to come together, not so bad either. The Calgary Flames played another untelevised affair against...
The Calgary Flames are still struggling to assert themselves as a mediocre hockey team. Without a win three games into the season there's really nothing to worry about at this point. It's strange to see professional veterans continually make stupid mistakes, take dumb...
Rivalries were renewed for the first time this season as the Vancouver Canucks visited the Flames for the first of eight meetings this season. The division rivals didn't disappoint providing a spirited contest that included an extra frame to settle the score....
In a game that featured an almost snail pace performance, the Calgary Flames couldn't muster the offence needed to pull off a victory in their season opener. Things looked tentative early as the team quickly dropped behind 0-2 in the first 8 minutes. Cocky Daniel...
Here are some articles you may have missed talking about the much anticipated season opener: Finding the right mix and chemistry will be key. Keenan's role this coming year to turn the tides on the road. Even a Q&A with the coach. Top ten games to watch this year...
Looks like the odd man in will be Warren Peters at 4th line C. This is of course until Lombardi gets back from apparent injury. The opening day line-up should look like this: Tanguay-Langkow-Iginla Huselius-Conroy-Nolan Nilson-Yelle-Moss Primeau-Peters-Godard On...
