Episode 167: Mangiapane Makes The NHL

Posted on January 3, 2018

We’re back for our first episode of 2018 – and celebrating our fifth calendar year (6th NHL season) of the show. With Michael Frolik being out long-term with a jaw injury, where does this leave the Flames “3M” line and how will Andrew Mangiapane fit into the lineup? Is it worth keeping The 2M’s together, or totally blowing up the Flames second line? We talk about the Eddie Lack trade, and wonder why Dalton Prout was sent to Stockton and not taking Bartkowski’s place in the NHL, as well as what this trade means for our AHL and ECHL goalies.

As well, we discuss the goalie changes over the last week – Mike Smith getting hurt, Eddie Lack starting in Detroit, and Jon Gillies relief effort. How long can the Flames keep riding Mike Smith like they are, if they want him to be ready for the post-season? What do they have to do to find a capable backup goalie?

Posted on September 28, 2017

It’s training camp, and the Flames have jobs available in the NHL, but very few of the young players look like they want to take those jobs. Who has looked ready to make the jump to the NHL and who hasn’t? Which veterans are we excited about, and we discuss one of the questions we’re asked frequently…how does the goalie tandem of Mike Smith and Eddie Lack look so far?
