After a week off, we’re back and focusing on the Flames news of the last few weeks. We spend most of the show talking about the two newest Calgary Flames – Matt Bartkowski and Michael Stone – and what they bring to the organization, as well as what their acquisitions means for existing blueliners. Have the Flames found their legit #4 defenceman in Stone? Is he worth resigning past his rental? Plus we compare Tkachuk’s rookie season to Monahan, Gaudreau and Bennett and see who wins in what categories.

As the Flames wind down for the bye week we look back at the last week of Flames hockey and debate if the Flames are back on track after a rough end of January.

Is it time for the Flames to change their Goaltending Coach? Goalies seem to decline or stay stagnant under Jordan Sigalet – is it time we find someone else to work with the next crop of goalies?

Six weeks from the 2017 NHL Trade Deadline, we look ahead to if we think the Flames will be buyers or sellers at the deadline – and what they have for sale, and need to buy. Dan and Matt talk about the Flames young players and where they fit into the lineup going forward. Will Monahan and Gaudreau get paired up again?

We’re at the midway point in the season, and this week we discuss what’s changed and how the Flames have got themselves into a playoff spot after being dead last earlier in the season, and how our Pacific Division rivals are doing. After looking at some interesting stats from the first half from Ryan Pike, we evaluate which of the Flames free agents we should keep, which ones should be let go. With the All-Star game coming up, who do we think should be the Flames representative, and who do we think will represent the Flaming C?
