Post-game summary, team news, and commentary.
The Flames have not found an identity that even glimpses this team improved over the past two seasons. Sad really. Tonight, they lost, yet again, for the same reasons. Let's review the three. Hamonic with his worst game yet. Overpayment on this D man it seems as this...
Well, that was ? to our ears! pic.twitter.com/Imv9fu6PKl— Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) October 25, 2017 The Flames haven't been playing consistent hockey all season. 60 minutes of their style? Nope. The lineup fans demand? Nope. Lack of offence? Yep. Terrible...
Far from elite, the Calgary Flames organization as a whole is in some stormy seas. After another pathetic effort at home, shut out for the third time in a young season, the bored fans have to wonder what on earth is going on. Well here's what we know. From an...
Calgary 4 - LA 3 A post shared by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on Oct 11, 2017 at 10:24pm PDT Although the line hasn't changed significantly, it has changed enough. Imagine what steady solid goaltending can do for your club. Although it's early in the season, players...
Flamesnation posted this article asking all of the candidates for mayor to respond to 3 questions about a new arena. As usual, Bill Smith has little substance to add, which is too bad since he's a popular candidates, just doesn't have anything resembling a coherent...
Let this be a lesson, nobody gets away with beating the Calgary Flames 30 times straight at home. The Calgary Flames registered their first win in Anaheim since 2004. Or to put it another way, Mike Smith has never lost at the Honda Centre as a Calgary Flames. For this...
What a game! A post shared by Calgary Flames (@nhlflames) on Oct 7, 2017 at 9:52pm PDT For 4.5 period of the new NHL season the Calgary Flames were MIA. Well, the Calgary Flames minus Mike Smith. Badly outplayed in Edmonton in the season opener, the home opener looked...
The Calgary Flames struggle on opening night, especially against their provincial rivals. The lead up to the the season opener say the Flames play a handful of lacklustre outings in pre-season. When the puck dropped last night on the new 2017-2018 season, the team was...
That's a weird headline. That's an incredible headline! The legend, the old man, the 3rd line RW, the dude not named Iginla, is going to suit up for the Flames this season. Training camp revealed a few things (apparently that Bartkowski is a #6 guy but that's a...
"Hey, remember that $185 million you were gonna give us to build an arena? Yeah, well it turns out that by giving us $185 million, it's actually more like you gave us nothing and we actually finance the whole thing". This is like negotiating with a toddler. The Flames...
The Calgary Flames have made another enormous splash at the entry draft with a trade for the hottest commodity on the market--puck moving right-handed D man who can play top minutes. The Flames have solved their #3-4 spot issue for years to come and now boast among...
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....
