Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
Road Trip Begins With Another Bad Loss Calgary is notorious on the road, notoriously bad. Another slow start at this game almost put them out of the running early. A lengthly 5v3 was the biggest event, for Columbus, in period one. But guess who, Mr. Noodles Mclennan...
Calgary Flames Honour Mike Vernon - Loose Boring Game The ceremony was a tearjerker, lasted almost 60 minutes, had chants of Vernon!, and ended with a 'YAAAAAAAA BABY!'. We salute you Mikey! And now back to our regular scheduled program. Period one,...
Flames take first place in NW division with quality win. It was a hard fought battle from puck drop, but the Flames dominated the latest installment of the top NW division teams. Vancouver had moments in the third where they looked dangerous, but for the most part,...
It was the first game for Craig Conroy and the new Calgary Flames. I thought I told Kerry Fraser never to come back after Game 6 of 2004. You think I forget Kerry? No way, if I was at the game I would have booed you every time you touched the puck. Of course Kerry and...
http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=194096&hubname= Craig Conroy is back, obviously to bolster our centermen. This is an interesting move as Langkow has been producing well on the 1st line, Lombardi is flash on the second, and Yelle on the third. What does this mean for...
You wouldn't have thought the Flames were about to pull off a romp. Considering they were badly outplayed in the first period, not registering a shot until the 10 minute mark. Yes, the road woes continue since it's impossible for this team to come out of the gate...
Is it just me, or are the Ducks the new Canucks? Honestly, Selanne is a disgrace to the league. If you watched this game (if you were at it) you'd see him after every whistle complain nonstop to the officials. EVERY WHISTLE! Search Selanne on this blog and you'll find...
This game can be summed up in two statements: Horrible Flames play for 3 periods. The worst blown call by an official in the third (not that it mattered) You know things are going bad when 5v5 the Flames are outworked and pushed around. If they can't handle a team...
You know it had to happen at some point. Calgary couldn't go on forever winning without Jarome, and tonight was the night they needed him most. Nashville is one of the top teams in the West and provided a good test for the Flames. Using one of their games in hand...
Yet another installment of the battle of Alberta tonight at the Dome. Gone are the bench brawls and fights, replaced by speed and a different kind of action. Let me give you a quick rundown of how to the first period went....
Iginla who? I'm joking, but the third game of his absence the Flames for some reason lack defensively but are tremendous putting pucks in the net. It also seems that every night the Flames have new heroes to thank. Let's give a run down of the Flames night. It started...
What could be better, a must win against a division rival, a shut out, and get this, a TKO. I know, this isn't typical Flames hockey we've come to expect, but finally someone's listening to me! Ok, maybe not, but I've said for a while that we need more size coming up....
I'm not sure if the Flames really deserved to win this game, but hey, we'll take it anyway we can get it. Kiprusoff stole a game for us, as 70% of the game was played in the Flames zone. The inability to kill, and more important adjust, to the Dallas game plan, almost...
Yet another game where Flames have games in hands and need points to stay in the race of the NW division. Tonight, the Flames started off strong in the first period but let up late. The first period saw basic forecheck that makes Flames 5v5 dominate. Phanuef managed...
The Vancouver Canucks need all the help they can get. Hopefully with more wins they'll get so air headed that their inability to score goals will come through and a playoff berth will be unattainable. Albeit, they work hard for 60 minutes, something the Flames...
