Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
The Calgary Flames have acquired 35-year old Mike Smith from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for the rights to Chad Johnson, unsigned prospect Brandon Hickey and a conditional third-round draft pick before the NHL’s trade freeze kicked in Saturday afternoon. The...
Updated June 10th, 2017. Yesterday, the Calgary Sun released a piece throwing their support behind sending hundreds of millions of public dollars to the private enterprise Flames organization. Apart from the garbage journalism (that we expect with the Sun), it didn't...
Views. A post shared by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on Apr 17, 2017 at 9:12pm PDT Now that the dust has settled and the abbreviated playoff appearance is over, fans can look back at the debacle that was this year's first round series vs the Anaheim Ducks. Going into...
This is a picture of an NHL sized net. It measures 4x6. That's four feet high by six feet wide. Last night's game featured this goal that was ruled NOT a high-stick (good goal). This frame is an instant after the puck struck the stick, so it was fractionally higher....
Flames Fall 0-3 in Series The players on the ice in this series aren't the only ones making the decisions. In games 1 and 2 you had some curious officiating, and even the need for league officials to step in for goal reviews. Tonight, you can't blame the refs, Calgary...
Calgary 2 - Anaheim 3 Too much to write about after an exciting Game 2 that was ultimately decided by the refs. In playoff hockey you come to expect a certain leeway in calls, but for the Flames, they will never (#widemaneffect eh!?) benefit from impartial...
If this was a regular season game, and Dennis Wideman was playing, you could blame him and the refs. But this is the playoffs, and the Flames didn't show up, that's as simple as it gets. It was abundantly obvious that nerves got the best of the young team, as they...
See you soon, #NHLDucks.The #Flames will take on Anaheim in Round One of the #NHLPlayoffs! pic.twitter.com/xBaTlMgN91— Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) April 10, 2017 And so it begins. The 2016-2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs start on Wednesday, and this year's edition...
The Flames haven't won in Anaheim in years (13 years) and could've used a win to show themselves they stand a chance against what is likely to be their first round opponents. The MO on Anaheim is simple, they're a big team that will hurt you, they get away with a lot,...
Flames Clinch Playoff Spot A post shared by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on Mar 31, 2017 at 9:16pm PDT 36 saves on the night for Brian Elliott, who stole two tonight. When you enter into the playoffs, or any game for that matter, the goalie is the one player who can...
63 penalty minutes handed out in a game that could've seen Calgary clinch a playoff spot. They'll eventually get there, but this was more of a statement game, and the Flames failed miserably. All eyes on Matthew Tkachuck, his first game vs the Kings after the elbow to...
I would've been happy with a point. Outplayed at times, the Flames got into penalty trouble, repeatedly, yet somehow dug down deep to pull off a franchise record 10 straight wins. They needed a shoot-out to complete the feat, but when you're riding a hot goalie,...
Reposted from CJsAviOr from Reddit You are going to be so proud of your team. Because we’re gonna turn it around, and we’re gonna start winning again! We’re gonna win so much! We’re going to win at every level. We’re going to win vs the Predators. We’re going to win...
The last time these two teams met the Flames put in a stinker. Now it was Montreal's turn to drop a turd. With two streak on the line, Montreal's 6 game win streak, and Clagary's 7, somebody was going home unhappy. There were a few keys to this win, here's the...
The Calgary Flames have had a significant February month. Up until February, very few fans thought they had a chance of making the postseason. Now they are threatening to take third (or dare I say second) place in the Pacific division. The team continues struggles to...
