It didn’t take long for criticism to be thrown at some of the Calgary Flames players after they were eliminated by the Dallas Stars in the first round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

This past Thursday was extremely disappointing for both the Calgary Flames organization and its fans. After getting off to a solid start in this year’s playoff bubble, it appeared this team would be able to go on a bit of a run. Instead, they failed to make much noise yet again, and were eliminated in […]

Over the years, the current Calgary Flames core group has heard from fans and media alike about how they have struggled in the playoffs, failing to make much, if any, noise. While many called for some of their top-end players to be traded, general manager Brad Treliving chose instead to keep the core intact, and […]

During the 2019 offseason, the Calgary Flames signed free agent goaltender Cam Talbot to a one-year, $2.75 million contract. In fact, they swapped goalies with their provincial rival Edmonton Oilers, who signed Mike Smith to a one-year deal as well. The Flames move for Talbot was seen as them signing an experienced veteran who could […]

Through the first three games of their play-in series versus the Winnipeg Jets, the Calgary Flames find themselves in a great spot, up two games to one.

The Calgary Flames have had many players during their thirty years in the league. As a result, many different jersey numbers have been worn.

Looking back, the 2012 NHL Entry Draft was one of the weaker draft classes of all-time, with many high picks not turning out like they were expected. Of course, that draft is now infamously remembered by the Edmonton Oilers selecting Nail Yakupov first overall. Yakupov, of course, has turned out to be one of the […]

The 2010s were an interesting decade for the Calgary Flames. For the most part, their first-round picks did not pan out as they had hoped. Usually, this would result in a very unsuccessful franchise. However, thanks to some great picks in the later rounds, they have made the playoffs in four of the last six […]

The 2019-20 season was certainly an interesting one for the Calgary Flames. If you didn’t follow them closely and just took a look at the standings, it would appear they had a pretty good season as they finished third in the Pacific Division with a record of 36-27-7. However, if you did follow them closely, […]

Not many years ago, the NHL was a league you needed to have size in order to play. It was very rare you’d see players below the six-foot mark. A big part of this was because bigger, slower defencemen were able to get away with all sorts of infractions such as hooking, holding, and slashing […]

Jun. 27, 2014, was an exciting day for Sam Bennett and the Calgary Flames organization. Management selected the Canadian forward with the fourth overall pick that day. The team was struggling at the time, having missed the playoffs in five straight seasons. However, many expected Bennett, who had just put up 91 points in 57 […]

In the summer of 2014, the Calgary Flames made a big move when they signed free agent goaltender Jonas Hiller to a two-year, $9 million contract. At the time, this was considered a very good signing by the Flames, who struggled immensely in the goaltending department during the 2013-14 season. Signing Hiller brought stability to […]

The last decade has been fairly disappointing for the Calgary Flames. This season included, they only made the playoffs four times, and made it past the first round once. If they don’t win the Stanley Cup in this summer’s playoffs, it will mark 31 years since their first and only championship. Related: Flames’ 5 Most […]

To say it has been an interesting season for the Calgary Flames would be a massive understatement. Despite sitting third in the Pacific Division at the time of the NHL stoppage, the 2019-20 season was anything but smooth sailing for them. They struggled to find any type of consistency from the get-go, as their usual […]

It has been a long time since Calgary Flames fans have seen their team win the Stanley Cup. In fact, with their only championship being in 1989, many of their current fans weren’t even been born to witness it. It hasn’t all been bad, as they have had some great teams and individual players over […]
