Episode 164: Darryl Sutter Deja Vu

Posted on December 6, 2017

Matt is at his wit’s end with the Calgary Flames this week, and thinks it is time for the Flames to fire Glen Gulutzen and bring Darryl Sutter back to Calgary to coach the team to solve the team’s woes. Dan think the Flames need to keep the coaching staff in place for the remainder of the season – and the Flames aren’t in as bad a position as Matt thinks and that the Flames can still make the playoffs.

Did the Flames really play bad enough to lose the series 4-0 to the Ducks? We break down the Flames series – what went right? What went wrong? We also recap the season and look ahead to next season with discussions about who should be in net for the Flames next year, what free agents should be back, and if the Flames should buy out any contracts in the off season.

Episode 139: Fear of Failure

Posted on February 1, 2017

After being called out by coach Glen Gulutzan, who said the team has a “fear of failure”, the Flames responded back with a good game against the Senators. Will they be able to keep the momentum going after the All-Star Break? The guys debate if TJ Brodie and Mark Giordano need to be together to be effective, or if we just need to find them new partners – and debate if Mark Giordano is still the right Captain and leader for the Flames and a lot more post All-Star Break Flames news.

Episode 135: Will Brouwer Be Missed?

Posted on January 5, 2017

This week Dan is joined by special guest co-host Mike Gould to recap the exciting week of Flames action that closed out 2016. The team had some bigs wins, but lost Troy Brouwer to injury. How much will he be missed in the lineup, and how will his injury alter the Flames forward lines? We debate who has the better offensive upside – Matthew Tkachuk or Sam Bennett and what each player has to do as their careers progress – and on the flip side we try to figure out why Sean Monahan is struggling. Is Kris Versteeg worth bringing back next year? All these topics and more on our first episode of 2017.

Episode 132: Roasted Duck

Posted on December 7, 2016

The Flames swept this week, winning everything including a big 8-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks. The team looks like they’re turning things around, currently sitting tied for a Wildcard playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Flames lines are looking different these days with some players returning, some out, and Gaudreau and Monahan playing on different lines. We look at each Flames line and how it’s contributing to the team’s success.

At the 1/3 point of the season we look at Flames stats so far, what players are doing well and who is slumping, and we’ll look at the results of the Flames Super Skills competition.
