Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
Two big games against divisional rivals and two big wins. Starting Saturday against the Oilers. The Flames met the Oilers push with a come-from-behind victory against their provincial rivals. Oilers fans were losing their minds over the play of Matthew Tkachuk when...
The Calgary Flames completed a brief Southern California road trip and came away with two of a possible six points. Consistency remains the obvious key factor that will determine whether this year's version will be any better than previous. So far, although there are...
After an uneventful first period that saw the Calgary Flames control most of the play, the goals started to come fast and furious. 11 goals in total, with Colorado taking the second, and Calgary closing it out with a commanding third period of play. Why did the Flames...
View this post on Instagram A post shared by NHL (@nhl) on Oct 29, 2018 at 6:45pm PDT Flames deserved this one. Arguably their best defensive game of the season put together for two points at the Scotiabank Arena. They dominated the game apart from a...
That was a bad team, a bad team for nearly a decade. A 9-1 loss in front of home fans who paid good money to see a complete meltdown. What's there to say 10 games in other than this is a bad team that's lost. It's worse than last year despite BT's attempts to build a...
It's only three games in and it feels as if fans have seen the entire spectrum of possible Flames play. The season started with the worst, and now we've swung all the way to the other end of the spectrum with tonight's game. In an 82 Game season what ultimately...
The Calgary Flames launched their 2018 season opener in grand fashion. After getting their faces beaten in, literally, in Game 1 versus the Vancouver Canucks, they sought revenge at home. In a rare home at home series to start the season, the Flames had a chance to...
If there was one game Flames fans didn't want to see it was this one. Brand new squad, too many new players, same old problems. Where to begin? Ah forget it, no post-game, not worth the time. Just some highlights. In goal, couldn't really blame Smith, but he let in 4....
Puck drop on Wednesday to open the new season of hockey. Calgary has the dubious distinction of the longest active losing streak on opening night at 8. They have a chance to turn their fate with back-to-back games vs the lowly Vancouver Canucks. Despite an...
Calgary 3 - Boston 4 (SO) The Calgary Flames opened the 2018 pre-season in China facing the Boston Bruins. The Flames have brought their starting lineup, whereas the Bruins left half at home. Although Calgary outshot the Bruins throwing 40 pucks at Halak, they...
A post shared by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on Jul 30, 2018 at 7:40pm PDT If you're anything like me, growing up in the "Young Guns" era when the Flames were hot trash, Jarome Iginla emerged as the saviour, and nearly capped off a storybook 2004 season with a Stanley...
Well free agency has come and gone (well technically it's still here), and the Calgary Flames made their splash getting arguably all of "their guys". Let's start off the list from top to bottom. The biggest move by far was the signing of James Neal. I like his game, I...
Bill who? Two weeks ago few even knew the name. Now in a whirlwind of activity, he's the new head coach. For those of you who don't know, Bill Peters was behind the bench in Carolina for 4 years. Before that, an assistant in Detroit behind Mike Babcock. Oh ya, in true...
It was bad. Real bad. There was hardly anything good about it, in fact. Right out of the gate they stumbled, then they fumbled, then they kind of had life, and then they face planted....hard. Welcome to the year in review of the Calgary Flames 2017-2018. Now that the...
Do you remember the Young Guns era? That team was really bad. Like, really bad. The Flames since March (probably since February (probably since January)) have been WORSE then the Young Guns. In fact, they have been playing as the worst team in the NHL. Pretty terrible...
