This week the guys discuss the emotional game the Calgary Flames played against ther Blue Jackets, and the ceremony for Johnny Gaudreau. They compare the way the Flames played in that game to the game against the Blues and what was different. With Justin Kirkland out for the season, and Andrei Kuzmenko a healthy scratch it has given Jakob Pelletier and Walker Duehr the chance to draw into the lineup. The guys give their opinions on these players’ first two games and their future with the Calgary Flames this season. To end the show, the guys preview the four games this week that will be a struggle and predict how the Flames will do.

The guys break down the Calgary Flames four-game losing streak on the road and if it is an indication of what the team really is this year. With Justin Kirland injured should the Flames recall Jakob Pelletier and Walker Duehr? If so, who should come out of the lineup? We also look ahead to a challenging December schedule for the team and talk about what a successful December would be. Then we are joined by Jay Forster from the Locked on Blue Jackets podcast to discuss Johnny Gaudreau and his legacy from a Blue Jackets perspective.

This week we’re joined by Kevin Olenick of the Shifts and Pucks podcast as we talk a lot about the Calgary Flames goaltenders. Should Dustin Wolf be in the conversation for the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year)? With Dustin Wolf’s play so far, should the Flames look at trading Dan Vladar to get a Centreman? And Kevin asks if our hosts think Andrei Kuzmenko could clear waivers.

The first season of the Calgary Flames retool is in the books. This season the guys break down the exit interviews from the Flames and what information we can gain from them (or from reading between the lines). As they do at the end of every season, Dan and Matt review the season predictions that they made in the pre-season to see how well they did.

This will be the last show on our regular Monday release schedule. We’ll be back to preview the NHL Entry Draft in mid to late June, follow our social media accounts for an announcement as to when the next show will be.

The Calgary Flames had a pretty successful week, even though they didn’t play very well in most games. If the NHL Entry Draft was today, the Flames would likely pick at #8. The guys discuss the good weeks for Andrei Kuzmenko and Connor Zary and answer a question from listener Al about how the decisions that have been made by the team in the past that have lead the team to where they are now.

Even with the three losses this week, there was still plenty to discuss about the Calgary Flames including where they may pick in the draft, whether Connor Zary can be the #3 Centre the team needs, whether Martin Pospisil’s third misconduct in two months is worrisome, and what the workload for the two goalies should be for the rest of the season.

After a disappointing week last week, the Calgary Flames won all three of their games this week and still sit outside a playoff spot. The guys talk about the crazy Battle of Alberta game this week and the big roles Dryden Hunt and Dan Vladar played in the win. With Andrei Kuzmenko playing up and down the lineup lately, we discuss if he is the player Flames fans hoped for when he was acquired. To wrap up the show we share our thoughts on Miikka Kiprusoff’s jersey retirement which happens this Saturday (March 2).

What the heck happened to the Calgary Flames? Last week was a fantastic week for the team; this week, they look like they can barely compete. The guys debate if the pressure of the Trade Deadline is affecting the team or what else might be causing this change. While on the topic of Trade Deadline we break down some of the recent trade rumours around Noah Hanifin, Chris Tanev and Jacob Markstrom.

It’s been a few weeks since our last episode, and lots has happened for the Calgary Flames! This week Dan and Matt discuss the newest Flames with the Andrei Kuzmenko trade and Brayden Pachal waiver pickup and how those players have impacted the Flames’ undefeated streak since the All-Star game. Our hosts follow up on their previous discussion about the All-Star game being irrelevant and how the NHL’s return to the Olympics and the new World Cup impact their thoughts.

We don’t have a new episode this week due to the Flames bye week, but since there is a big trade to announce, we’re releasing a discussion from last week where Dan joined Sean from the Shifts and Pucks Podcast to break down the trade sending Elias Lindholm to the Canucks for Andrei Kuzmenko, Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo, a first-round pick and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.  We’ll be back on February 12 with a new episode.
