The Flames are on a 5 game win streak after beating the Avalanche, and everything is looking up for the team. Lucic and even Zac Rinaldo are scoring to give the team depth scoring.  We discuss what the Flames need to keep doing to stay successful and get closer to the top of the Pacific Division, answer a fan question and try to predict what happens to the lineup as our injuries clear up.

And we thought this would be a slow news week for the Flames!  Despite the poor month for the Calgary Flames, the team still ended the month with a .500 record – and only 7 points out of first place in the Pacific Division. Of course we discuss the Bill Peters incident, and the new Head Coach Geoff Ward.  What does the December schedule hold for the Flames, and is it still possible to turn this season around?

The Calgary Flames long few months on the road is coming to an end, and the team’s play seems to be improving too. After a player’s only meeting after the blowout loss in St. Louis, a win in Philadelphia and a very good game against Pittsburgh, it looks like the Calgary Flames are starting to turn things around.

We debate if Bill Peters should be fired – and if so who would replace him?  Is David Rittich a legit starting goalie, or just the best we’ve got? And we answer some questions from listeners.

The Flames played three games this week, and only managed to score one goal?  This is the team’s first time being shutout of back-to-back games since January 2014. Are things as bad as they look for the Calgary Flames this season? How long does the team have to turn things around before the playoffs are out of reach?

Matt lays out his case for why it might be time for the Flames to pull the plug on this season, and re-tool the roster instead.

The Flames are second in the Pacific Division, and starting to get their game together.  We look at the changes to the Defence pairings that we saw this week, if Michael Frolik’s time as a Flames is over after two healthy scratches, and if 5 days off this week will help or hurt the Flames.

This week’s episode is longer than usual, as we spend over an hour talking with our new Stockton Heat correspondent to catch up on all the happenings with the AHL affiliate.

As the Calgary Flames return home from the longest road trip of the season, it looks like the team is starting to turn their game around.  We break down what went well (and what didn’t) on the road trip, and how the team’s game improved, and look ahead to the Flames schedule for November and what we can expect for this month of games.

After a really good week for the Flames last week, we saw the exact opposite this week. Dan and Matt discuss the Flames shaking up their forward lines and what impact that may have on the slumping group, if the Tobias Rieder waiver move and Alan Quine being recalled will have any effect on the team, and what (if any) kind of the trade the Flames could make to shake things up this early in the season.

What a difference a week can make! Aside from the LA Kings game, the Flames had a much better week this past week than they did the one before. The Flames started on time, and played well structured games for the most part. What does this week hold for the Flames? Which goalies will start which games? How will the Flames do in the Heritage Classic? We try to answer all these questions and more.

Posted on October 15, 2019 (Season 8)

The Flames struggled on their road trip this week, and their play hasn’t looked anywhere near what it needs to be if they want to be the #1 team in the Western Conference again. Is it time to start worrying about the Calgary Flames, or is this just a slow start that they’ll bounce back from?  Should the coaching staff start to shuffle the forward lines to get something going?

Dan and Matt debate these questions and more, as well as look ahead to the four games for the Flames this week, and if we think the team can rebound.

Posted on October 9, 2019 (Season 8)

The Flames lost their 10th season opener in a row – losing to the Avalanche in Denver to open the season, and then came home and beat the Vancouver Canucks in the home opener. We break down these games, talk about what we’ve seen (or not seen) from the team so far, answer a fan question about David Rittich’s workload, and make predictions for this week’s important road trip.
