Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
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...
I thought I had lost my last blog post but turns out it posted. I wrote the previous post at the end of the second because I was so disgusted by the Flames play. Well turns out they almost made a comeback. I'm actually shocked they came back in the third and were...
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...
The Colorado Avalanche postponed Thursday night's game against the Calgary Flames, citing fan safety amid the worst snowstorm to hit Colorado in three years. No makeup date was immediately set. "We have been in close consultation with the National Hockey League and...
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...
Just in time for the game against Phoenix. This means the Flames are getting Yelle back? tonight. Also bad news for the defense, Warrner, Zyuzin, and Hamrlik are probably all out. Warrener and Hamrlik out for a longer period of time IMO.
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...
The Calgary Flames have recalled defensemen Mark Giordano and Richie Regehr and left wing Tomi Maki. They will replace Nilson, Warrener, and Zyuzin. Yelle is not ready to come back and the first two have groin problems. Giordano has appeared in five games for the...
