Matt is at his wit’s end with the Calgary Flames this week, and thinks it is time for the Flames to fire Glen Gulutzen and bring Darryl Sutter back to Calgary to coach the team to solve the team’s woes.

With Eddie Lack waived and sent to Stockton, and David Rittich recalled to Calgary, this show focuses mostly on discussions around the Flames goaltending tandem. With the Flames having 3 back-to-back games in the next month should David Rittich stay, or should Jon Gillies also be given a shot? Is this the end of the line for Eddie Lack with the Flames?

We’re analyzing the team at the quarter mark of the season, and giving our thoughts on where the team sits, and where we predict the team will finish. As well, we discuss the goalie changes over the last week – Mike Smith getting hurt, Eddie Lack starting in Detroit, and Jon Gillies relief effort.

The Flames have ended their longest homestand of the year with good news…their secondary scoring has finally come alive!

Of course we’re discussing the secondary scoring and how we feel about the roster and the Flames chances at the 17 game point. With Mike Smith’s injury in the St. Louis game, we’ll discuss the options for the Flames in net on their road trip, and how we feel about the Flames chances in their next 6 games in 11 days on the road.

Andrew Mangiapane is tearing it up, and David Rittich is looking great! We’ll let you know what is happening with the Heat.

This week we discuss what roster move(s) the Flames should make when Jagr comes off the IR, how Kulak has played his way into the top 6, some hypothetical line juggling to get better scoring – including who should be on the first line Right Wing, and if Johnny Gaurdreau is the pure scorer he once was.

After a winless week for the Flames, Jaromir Jagr is put on the injury reserve, which means Mark Jankowski gets called up from Stockton, to centre a line between Sam Bennett and Curtis Lazar.  We discuss how these lineup changes will affect the team.
