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.

It’s been a week full of Flames news! The season ending injury to Mark Giordano, the recent recall of Drew Shore, and of course the main event – the 2015 NHL Trade Deadline.

What does Dave Schlemko mean to the Flames, and if we think the Flames got a good return for Sven Baertschi. We’ll also discuss if Joni Ortio’s injury caused the Flames not to move Karri Ramo.

Another great week for the Flames means we’ve got a lot to talk about. The Flames have four top forwards on the injury reserve, and four prospects have been called up from Adirondack to fill their spots – and are doing surprisingly well. We’ll look at Josh Jooris and Markus Granlund and how well they’re doing, and what Sven Baertschi needs to improve to stay in the NHL. Does Johnny Gaudreau have a shot at the Calder Cup this season? Have the Flames finally found their starting goalie in Jonas Hiller? Plus we’ll look back at the last week of games, and the games coming up this week.
