After three more big wins for the Flames to end off the home stand, the Flames are looking good as they head out on the road. We’ll break down the last week of games and look ahead to how we expect the team to do on the road. With Smid playing well and Bouma coming back the Flames have some decisions to make with the roster, which we’ll beak down and offer opinions on. Is Karri Ramo the right goalie for this year, or should the Flames acquire someone else – and what would it cost to do so?
Two tough teams and two wins in a row for the Flames has caused a lot of excitement in the C of Red. How long can this win streak last and what do the Flames need to do to be successful? We’ll analyze these questions and more including the return to practice for of Lance Bouma.
Plus, this week our Old Flames series returns as we feature a conversation with Flames legend Theo Fleury! We talk about hockey, his career since hanging up the skates his new country music album I Am Who I Am and his upcoming concert in Calgary. You can’t miss this interview!
The Flames are tied with the Oilers for last place in the league after a losing road trip. How will the team rebound, and what has lead them to this point, and how will this change the Flames internal strategy for the season? There are also a few interesting roster moves to talk about, including Markus Granlund and how long he’ll stay in Calgary, Joni Ortio’s AHL demotion and how it could be just what he needs right now, and Ladislav Smid’s short stint in the AHL.
As we hit the quarter post of the season we see a weird week for the Flames that included David Jones being tied for the goal lead of the Flames, and Mason Raymond being promoted to the first line and new Heat goalie Kevin Poulin getting injured. We analyze the Flames performance after 21 games and if there is still a chance at the post season. We also address the Travis Harmonic rumour, the new NHL bye week and more on this week’s show.
We’re 19 games into the season and can now fairly assess where the Flames are at. After another disappointing week on the road we break down the games and how the Flames played in each. Based on comments by Rhett Warrener on Fan960 about the Flames having no excuses left we look at what the struggles have been and why the team is struggling and if any changes can be made. Perhaps it’s time to take a different perspective for the rest of the season? The 3 headed monster is back with Hiller coming off the reserve, Derek Grant goes back to Stockton and more news.
The Flames have two wins in a row for the first time this season and the team looks to be turning things around. We’ll recap the last 3 games and how the team looked in each – and analyze what players have been stepping up to make the team successful. With Derek Grant showing well in the NHL, what does it mean for Stockton players and the depth chart? As well, our exciting predictions for the coming week. All this and more Flames news after an exciting week for the team!
As October has come to a close, the Flames hope to put this month behind them and look forward to a better month on November. We talk about the positives we’ve seen in the Flames games recently, and how they may be able to work themselves out of their funk. After a disappointing start, some fans are calling for Bob Hartley to be replaced and we discuss if this is a good idea or not. There is a big focus on goaltending this week as we cover Hiller’s injury, Ramo’s recall and how all 3 goalies have performed over the first 12 games – and if the Flames should give Jon Gillies a start.
The big question we tackle this week is if the Flames are right where they should be in the rebuild, or is it time to start making wholesale changes? We tackle this issue as well as the other hot topics surrounding the team such as Karri Ramo’s demotion to the AHL, rumours of Steven Stamkos coming to town and Wideman and Russel leaving and more as the Flames continue their road trip.
With the Flames starting the season with a 1-4 record there are concerns within the C of Red about what will happen to the Flames this season. With injuries mounting and a tough week ahead of us, we look at Ladislav Smid coming off the IR soon, who will be displaced on the blueline and how will the roles change? Does Deryk Engelland lose his NHL job in the process? Has Mason Raymond run out of chances at the NHL level? When will Ortio get his first start? We debate these topics and more this week.
