Flames 3 – Chicago 2

Chicago is one of those teams that Calgary has had some difficulty finding two points against. Despite being locked in the basement of the Western division, the Chicago Blackhawks have Calgary's number this season. For two periods one thought if history would repeat...

Flames 3 – Nashville 2 (OT)

Unlikely Hero Gets Flames Two Points It was the second game in three nights for the Flames, and the competition wasn't getting easier. Finishing off Detroit in style on Tuesday, tonight would see the team face-off against Nashville, a squad they just can't seem to...

Flames 2 – Detroit 1

Most of the team got the message: this is playoff hockey. Calgary wasted little time asserting their dominant forcheck early in the first, the kind of hockey we've come to know and love. Hard hitting play kept the puck in the Detroit zone for most of the first two...

Flames 2 – Wild 4

The Flames lost again. 8th place is all they can muster now for sure. Which means a quick 4-0 out for them in the playoffs. Iginla played 25 minutes an managed a huge 2 shots. Shows what kind of game we're playing. That is all.

Flames Unworthy of Playoff Spot – Lose 4-2 to Dallas

Calgary should roll over and let the Avalanche take their playoff spot. The team will embarrass themselves in the first round with the type of play they continue to display. The whole team is, well quite frankly not a team. One person will play hard for one period and...

Flames 2 – Avalanche 3

Things didn't start well for the Flames even before they hit the ice. With Warrner and Zyuzin out with injuries, an away game, and a red hot Colorado team, things weren't going to be easy. Of course, in true Flames style, the game started with a nice slow pace, for...

Flames 5 – St. Louis 4 (SO)

Defensive Woes Mount for Flames Rather than give a play by play of tonight's games I thought I'd post something that's not only been on my mind, but an issue that will cost the Flames a 4-0 exit from the playoffs this year. That issue is defensive zone coverage. For...

Comeback Win – Calgary 4 – St. Louis 2

The Calgary Flames were looking to extend a four game win streak and win back to back road games. The team hasn't one back to back on the road since November. Would the lowly Blues be the easy two points this team needed? Things started off alright, the Flames...

Road Win – Flames 4 – Oilers 2

Look at this, the eighth road win of the season, the lowest in the NHL, but perhaps a sign of things to come? Langkow scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the Calgary Flames won their fourth in a row with a 4-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton...

Calgary 2 – Minnesota 1 (SO)

Miikka Dominates SHOOT OUT! You should come to expect some garbage and boring hockey when Minnesota comes into town. You should be penalised 10 points for playing a boring hockey style. Playing for regulation ties should be illegal in the new NHL. Calgary looked solid...

Flames 5 – Phoenix 2

Calgary Rebound Against Phoenix The Calgary Flames continued their dominance on home ice, but time will tell where they end up in the NW division race. They will have to start winning on the road with similar efforts like tonight. If you had to describe this win in...

Flames 7 – Sharks 4

Shoot Out at the OK Corral Calgary bounced back early in this one from yet another poor road trip. The fans are getting ancy and early on the Flames didn't disappoint. In fact, they jumped to a 2-0 lead in the 1st period courteousy of goals from Phaneuf and Langkow....

Flames 2 – Phoenix 3 (OT)

Calgary returned to action after a disappointing three game series against the Colorado Avalanche where the Flames only managed to collect 2 of 6 points. The NW division will leave the Flames in the dust if they don't start winning, and Phoenix is beatable team to do...

Flames 3 – Colorado 4

Avalanche Work Harder - Calgary Chickens Without Godard But hey, Bettman would prefer strong US markets than clean hockey. Colorado continues to show why they are quickly becoming the dirtiest team NHL. Vannannen wasn't even fined for his brutal hit on Moss, nor have...

Calgary 5 – Colorado 2

Calgary Chips Away for Home Win Jim Playfair apparently like to bench one of the leagues hottest players. In fact, even in tonight's game, Kristian Huselius started the game on the 4th line. However, this didn't stop him from making an impact. Huselius had two gaols...
