Looking over the Flames odd schedule for the next few months, it’s critical that the Flames get going soon because they have some tough opponents coming up. We dissect the first week of the season and if the sky is falling yet. We analyze the back end of the Flames lineup and who gets a regular roster spot, and who is sitting in the press box. Plus lots of prospect news including looking at the first game of the Stockton Heat season, the Tom McCollum signing, and a look at how our prospects are doing so far.
On the evening of the 2016-2017 kicking off we have a lot of Flames news to discuss including the Johnny Gaudreau contract, where new Flames Kris Versteeg and Nicklas Grossmann fit into the lineup, the final training camp cuts and our thoughts on the opening day roster while we look ahead and make some predictions for the season including who we expect to lose their job on the Flames roster first, and our thoughts on if the Flames will make the post-season.
After 5 pre-season games the Flames are getting closer to the regular season, as the cuts to the training camp roster keep coming. Who has already been cut? Who do we expect to still be cut? We’re still counting down to the Gaudreau contract, we discuss Tim Erixon on waivers and more news as we head towards the regular season.
As the Flames get ready to kick off the 2016-2017 pre-season, our hosts recap all the news from the summer as we eagerly await the new Johnny Gaudreau contract announcement. Salary cap troubles, the Penticton rookie tournament, World Cup, all of these topics and more as we look forward to the puck drop against the Oilers.
With the 2016 NHL Entry Draft behind us we look back at the Flames 9 picks and introduce you to each of the players the Flames selected. Plus we discuss the new Flames coach Glen Gulutzan and speculate on who his new Associate Coach will be. As we look ahead to July 1 and the start of the “Free Agent Frenzy” we speculate who might be a target for the Flames to sign and what holes on the roster need to be addressed.
This is the second of our 2016 Entry Draft preview episodes. In this episode we look at the Flames second round picks (35/54/56 overall) and who they should draft, or if they should trade those picks to move up into the last first round. In what is being called a weak draft year we’ll look at what types of players the Flames should take in round 3-7 and what they need to keep the right types of players in the development system.
We’re back and looking ahead to the 2016 Entry Draft, and covering Flames news since our last episode at the end of the season. Was the Bob Hartley firing the right move? And who do we think will replace him? We give you information on what to expect of the two newest Flames – Daniel Pribyl and David Rittich. In part one of our draft preview we look at the Flames options for the sixth overall pick.
The 2015-2016 season has come to an end and we spend the show looking back the season that was. It’s been an interesting season with a lot to discuss. What happened to the “Always Earned, Never Given” mantra? We’ll debate how we expect the Flames roster to change – who comes, who goes, and who gets resigned? Should Bob Hartley be back? We talk about a lot of different topics as we wrap up the regular season.
With 79 games down and only 3 left in the season there is still a lot to discuss! Between the blowout in Anaheim and the Flames big victory in Edmonton to how the callup players played, where Shinkaruk might fit long term and some of the storylines that are still unfolding.
The guys ask each other “why are you still watching the Flames?” and we discuss some of the interesting storylines still unfolding for the team, and we also throw out a hypothetical and ask if the Flames should make a play for Yakupov or Nikushkin to help on the Right Wing.
And we play our last Prediction Game of the season. Who will end up winning this season’s game?
