Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
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...
Jarome Iginla had an off night with only three points to jump to second in league scoring. Yes, largely, the Flames are slowly putting together better games, hopefully the consistency stays. Seconday scoring kicked in as Kobasew got his third off a nice pass from...
Jarome Iginla woke up and scored 4 points, albeit against LA. Iginla had a goal and three assists as Calgary defeated the Los Angeles Kings 6-4 on Friday night to snap a three-game losing streak.The goal was Iginla's first in six games. Looking for big games from...
The Calgary Flames continue their October like play with bad all around hockey. From top to bottom the Flames have little to show but lackluster efforts and poor performances by top names. When Flames hockey is played to a tee by Vancouver, you know something is...
The good news, the Flames can redeem themselves tomorrow. The bad news is, the Flames aren't playing well. In fact, the Flames have consistently played bad....for at least 7 games now. Albeit, injuries are taking its toll, the forwards have yet to contribute. The bad...
The Flames are playing like a NHL hockey club that has many things to learn, namely how to win on the road. There is zero secondary scoring to be accounted for, the 4th line is useless, and injuries continue to hurt the squad. Let's not make excuses, but the team...
Jamie Mac got his first win of the season with some timely offense. The back up netminder gave Kiprusoff a much needed night off by backstopping the Flames to a 5-3 win over lowly LA. Albeit, he wasn't spectacular in net, he did enough to get the W, his first of the...
I thought Vancouver was bad, I thought Torres was bad, I thought McTavish was bad, I thought Edmonton was bad... No sir, the worst poor sport in the entire NHL is Teemu Selanne. Never have I seen such poor sportsmanship in a hockey player. I first took notice of...
Wow, a road win, and get this, with the Flames forecheck hard they dominate 5v5. What a concept! And guess what, some timely powerplay work contributed to the Flames win for a change. Albeit, it was Pheonix and not, well you know, a better team. With three regular...
Is it true that Saskatchewan is Flames territory? Maybe South SK, but hey, I'm cool with more Flames fans. I guess there's enough to warrant an exhibition game next season. The Calgary Flames will play in the City of Saskatoon one pre-season NHL game on Tuesday,...
The inability to convert on the power play has once again killed the Flames. Any team can easily defend the Flames' boring power play strategy which consists of pass around the perimeter and wait for the point shot. No wonder goals on the PP are few and far between....
The 1st line remembered what happened a week ago and decided to take matters into their own hands. Jarome Iginla had a 4 point night taking in 2 assists and 2 goals to lead the Flames to a comfortable 5-2 victory of the Wild. Tanguay got the ball rolling after scoring...
This game was a lot closer than it should have been. The Canucks managed to get to within 1 in the third but couldn't tie it up before Tanguay scored an empty netter. For some reason it's cool to step off the gas in the last 10 minutes of the game just to make things...
Jarome Iginla (may he always be a Flame) scored in the second period, tying the game at 2 a piece, for his 300th goal and 600th point of his career. The referees made it their business to make their presence felt calling a whopping 18 penalties in the game. One can't...
I looked closely and I'm pretty sure I'm right--Hamrlik still uses a wood stick. And with that woodstick comes an enormous shot (why he doesn't shoot more often is beyond me (why Tanguay doesn't shoot more often is also beyond me)). Hamrlik took a one timer off a...
