Riding high on a 10 game winning streak we take a deeper look at the Flames over the past week including the injuries to Dougie Hamilton and Michael Stone, and why the Flames played Dennis Wideman over Rasmus Andersson as a fill in. We debate Sam Bennett’s future with the Flames and what his next contract will look like.

If the Flames make the playoffs, should Glen Gulutzan be considered for the NHL Jack Adams Award? Dan will make his case as to why he should.

Even after a good week with 2 of 3 possible wins, The Flames once again find themselves closer to winning the Draft Lottery than the Stanley Cup, and things are getting tense. Coach Harley left the ice early after a practice where the team wasn’t showing the effort they need to be – and Bouma and Monahan showed up late. With Mason Raymond not playing his best the Flames reassigned him to the AHL this week, and brought Jakub Nakladal up to fill in for Wideman (who is suspended 20 games).

We recap the last week of hockey and look ahead to another ‘do or die’ week for the Flames, and predict how they will do. Plus we’ll cover some trade rumours and other news and discussion for the C of Red this week.

As the Flames get back to play after the all-star break, we discuss the Pacific Division win, the new 3 on 3 format, and what changes we’d like to see to the game/weekend in the future. We look back at the last 2 games the Flames played before the break and look ahead at the upcoming games for the week and what Dennis Wideman’s fate will be after his hearing. All this and more in our post all-star break episode.

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.

We start the show with a look back at the second round series against the Ducks, and compare and contrast the two teams and how they are built – and why the Flames fell so easily. With the help of our guest Kevin Olenick of Agree or Disagree: The Podcast, we recap the 2014-2015 season as a whole including looking back at some of our predictions for this year to see how well we predicted the season, and we do an in-depth break down of this year’s team by position and discuss where they need to improve, and what we expect the Flames to do in the off-season including our thoughts on UFAs we’d like to see here.
There is plenty of debate this year as we dig into our final analysis of this year’s excellent Flames run.
