Well, that didn’t go as planned.  For many, though, it went as expected. With the Calgary Flames’ losing streak in Anaheim now approaching 30 games, the team will no doubt be looking forward to playing Game 3 tonight in the comfy confines of the Saddledome. Prior to the series starting, we looked at how important […]

Well, so much for dreams of a Pacific Division title, or home-ice advantage in round one.  After a week of alternating wins and losses, the rear-view mirror is where the Calgary Flames’ attention is now focused. Losing earlier in the week to a desperate LA Kings team (who have since been eliminated from playoff contention) […]

After seeing some serious improvement in the play of the Calgary Flames’ blue line over the past couple of months—highlighted by the acquisitions of Michael Stone and Matt Bartkowski—it’s easy to forget just how inconsistent the defensive unit had been for months. The struggles of TJ Brodie, Dennis Wideman, Jyrki Jokipakka and others were a […]

This is why predictions are useless. Just a couple of weeks ago, it looked all but certain that the San Jose Sharks would win the Pacific Division, with a battle being waged between the Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames for the second and third place spots. Now, with the Sharks mired in six-game […]

Following a week that saw the Calgary Flames win three of four on a mini-home stand, with the lone loss coming against the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night (their first regulation loss in over a month), the team seems to have found its stride at the right time. Highlighted by another strong week from Brian […]

When the Calgary Flames acquired Curtis Lazar from the Ottawa Senators at this year’s trade deadline, giving up a second-round pick in the process, it seemed like the former WHL standout was set to get a fresh start after struggling in his first couple of years with the Sens. Yet, over two weeks have passed […]

A franchise record nine straight wins, ten of their past eleven, and a full calendar month since the Calgary Flames last lost in regulation – a 5-0 setback to the Arizona Coyotes on February 13th that feels like an eternity ago. #Flames 9-game win streak is one of the longest in the NHL this season […]

This past week was an up-and-down one for the Calgary Flames, to say the least.  Following their five-day break, the team came out flying on Monday night against the Arizona Coyotes, registering 19 shots on goal in the first period alone.  Finding themselves unable to beat Mike Smith early, however, the Flames then fell flat […]

As they sat idle over their five-day bye week, the Calgary Flames must have been crossing fingers, rubbing lucky rabbits’ feet or stocking up on horseshoes.  Barely hanging onto a playoff spot as the week began, the Flames could only watch and hope that the other teams in the wild-card race would manage to flub […]

Since he took the reins as the Calgary Flames’ general manager in April of 2014, the consensus on Brad Treliving has been overwhelmingly positive. So, when Sportsnet’s Elliott Friedman mentioned on Calgary radio earlier this week that he was “not 100 percent convinced” that Brad Treliving would be back as the Flames’ GM next season, it […]

Well, that was underwhelming. Heading into what was their biggest week of the year, it looked like the team was moving in the right direction as the Calgary Flames laid a 5-2 drubbing on the Florida Panthers. But when faced with two critical home games against the Nashville Predators and Edmonton Oilers, the Flames laid two […]
