The Flames are home from their seven game Eastern Conference road trip. We’ll break down the team’s performance on the road and look at how the loss of the Captain Mark Giordano has affected the Flames play.
Looking ahead to the remaining 16 games, we look at the Flames schedule and the quality of teams we face versus other teams in the playoff race, and what it’ll take for the Flames to make the post-season.
It’s been a week full of Flames news! The season ending injury to Mark Giordano, the recent recall of Drew Shore, and of course the main event – the 2015 NHL Trade Deadline. We reflect on Curtis Glencross’ time as a Flame and give our thoughts on the Flames return. What does Dave Schlemko mean to the Flames, and if we think the Flames got a good return for Sven Baertschi. We’ll also discuss if Joni Ortio’s injury caused the Flames not to move Karri Ramo.
In this week’s episode we break the season down into 7 game blocks, and look at how the Flames performed in each series. The Flames called up Poirier and Ferland and we’ll look at what we can expect from the two young players on this road trip. Joni Ortio got injured so we’ll talk about how it will affect the Flames changes to trade Ramo, and we discuss the Curtis Glencross trade rumours, and other trade rumours a week before the Trade Deadline.
It’s been a week of highs and lows for Flames fans. Former Flame Steve Montador passed away this weekend at age 35, and then the Calgary Flames earned a thrilling overtime victory over the Boston Bruins which saw Johnny Gaudreau relegated to the fourth line in the third period. We’ll also look at the recent successes and struggles of Ramo and Hiller and dive into some preliminary trade deadline rumours as we’re less than 2 weeks from the trade deadline.
After the Flames won their 30th game of the season against the Sharks we look at the last week of games and what the Flames have gone through to get to a 17-4-1 record against the Pacific Division.

A quiet week for the Flames with only two games played gives us a chance to discuss the current NHL All-Star format, and some ideas we have to change the […]
One year away from the bench clearing brawl against the Canucks last year, and the Flames are flying high. Joni Ortio made his season debut and kept winning to lead the team to four important wins on the road over the last week, and we look ahead to the Anaheim game this week, and if the Flames can break “The Honda Center Curse”. All this and more news from a busy week of Flames hockey.
This week has created a lot of questions for the Flames. Does Joni Ortio’s great play against the Canucks make Karri Ramo expendable? Does Brian McGrattan’s demotion to Adirondack mean he’s played his last game in a Flaming C? Plus we’ll discuss GM Brad Treliving’s mid-season comments and we’ll look ahead to next week’s games.
In our first episode of 2015 we look ahead to what the Flames need to do in the new year to stay successful, as well as some of our predictions. We’ll also take a look at several of the Flames players who are on-par to have career years and if we think they’ll be able to break their milestones. Plus, a lot more Flames news and discussion as we ring in the new year.
