This week we’re joined by Mike Gould to get his takes on the American Hockey League’s Calgary Wranglers and how that team is doing this season. Mike also gives us his thoughts on the question that’s been on everyone’s mind – who should (and who likely will) be the first recall from the Wranglers. Mike, Dan and Matt also discuss the goaltending, the Flames’ fourth line and who needs to be held more accountable.

The Flames 7 game win streak came to an end against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, and we discuss Flames position in the Pacific Division and how the win streak impacts our standings. The Flames lineup has been working well lately, but how will it be affected by Austin Czarnik and Sam Bennett set to return soon? Who will have to be taken out of the lineup?

We look back at the James Neal/Milan Lucic trade to see which team is winning the trade so far, and what impact the Taylor Hall deal will have on the Flames and the Pacific Division.

For the first time since the 2005-2006 season the Flames have earned over 100 points. In this episode we look ahead to the playoffs – predicting who will be on the Flames lineup and who will be in the pressbox for game 1. We also look ahead to the summer and predict who we think the Flames will trade, and what we think the return will be. Will the Flames move a defenceman to try and get a goalie? We’ll break down what that deal might look like, and a lot more.

This was an up-and-down week for the Flames. The team ended a season long 7 game win streak, coming up short against the Minnesota Wild on the evening that the Flames retired Jarome Iginla’s #12.

We discuss Oscar Fantenberg’s first few games as a Flame, what the pending returns of James Neal and Michael Stone will mean to the Flames lineup, and the decline of both of the Flames goaltenders since the Trade Deadline and what it might mean for a long playoff run.

And of course…we give our thoughts on the jersey retirement ceremony for Jarome Iginla, and share our thoughts on Iggy’s legacy as a Calgary Flame.

Mike Smith is looking like an NHL goalie again, James Neal is out of the lineup and Dalton Prout is becoming a serviceable defenceman. We discuss if these factors should change the Flames trade deadline strategy? We’ve talked alot about what the Flames should acquire at the deadline, and this week we look at what the most likely asset(s) for the Flames to give up are.

Plus we read some listener emails about the sky falling in Calgary, and if the Flames need veteran leadership. And of course a healthy dose of Oilers bashing this week. Could an XBOX do a better job of managing the team than the past GM did?

This week had ups and downs for the Flames, but can be summed up as 3…2…1. Three wins before the loss to the Oilers (the end of a 5 game […]

The Flames have returned from their California road trip and we break down three very different games from this week – including the goaltending in each game as the Smith vs. Rittich debate continues. 

Our main discussion this week centres around some of the players that we, and our listeners, have tagged as “disappointing so far”. We discuss what we need out of these players for them to not to have a disappointing season.

And just for fun, Dan and Matt kick around the idea of the Flames acquiring William Nylander, what it would take, and if that cost would be worth paying.

We’re 10% of the way through the season and the Flames have a 5-3 record – their best start in recent memory, and one of the highlights of the team has been backup goalie David Rittich. The guys gave Rittich a hard time early on – have they changed their tune?

Despite the great record we have some concerns about a few players on the roster, which we discuss and put our General Manager hats on to decide what to do with these players.

This episode is recorded live from WinSport as we cover the Calgary Flames 2018 Rookie Development Camp. The episode starts with our thoughts on the Flames moves on July 1 and how the new Flames will fit into the lineup to fill the gaps.

The rest of the episode is our day-by-day recap of the camp – our thoughts on the new draft picks, who we like, who needs to be better, and which walk on players might be worth a Flames contract. Plus, we have some exclusive interviews with some of the players at the camp.

There has been a lot of Flames news since the season ended – Bill Peters is the new Head Coach (and has a new coaching staff), The Flames made a big trade with the Carolina Hurricanes, and the GM says they aren’t done making changes yet.

We’ll recap all the happenings since the season ended, and look ahead to July 1 when Free Agency opens. Who do we expect the Flames to sign? Who are we sad to see go? What will it cost to sign the players the Flames need? These questions and more are answered here.
