The Flames are falling hard after a four game losing streak. What will it take for the Flames to make the playoffs at this point?  We break down our thoughts on how the Flames have looked without Mike Smith, and if it’s been the team or the young goalies that have been the issue recently. With Michael Ferland back in the lineup after an injury – who should be on the first line? Bennett? Brouwer? Ferland? Someone else? Plus we’ll look at the Flames injured players and their status and more.

The big Flames news of the week is Mike Smith is out. How will this affect the Flames playoff chances? Can the Flames still win games without their best player? Does David Rittich have what it takes to be a starter? Will Jon Gillies get into the Flames net before Smith comes back?  We answer these questions and in general talk about the Flames netminding this week.

Because of the Flames bye week, we don’t have enough to discuss for a full show – but this week Dan and Matt joined Kevin Olenick of the Bottom Line View NHL YouTube channel to recap the Flames season so far, discuss where the Flames might go this season – and look ahead to the trade deadline.

We’ll be back with a regular episode next week, but we hope you enjoy this recap in the mean time.

With Eddie Lack waived and sent to Stockton, and David Rittich recalled to Calgary, this show focuses mostly on discussions around the Flames goaltending tandem. With the Flames having 3 back-to-back games in the next month should David Rittich stay, or should Jon Gillies also be given a shot? Is this the end of the line for Eddie Lack with the Flames? In the NHL? All these questions are answered and more revolving around Flames goaltenders not named Mike Smith.

Six games into the season, and the Flames are still surprising us with a winning record. We spend the show looking at why the Flames have been successful so far, and discussing one Flame in particular…Sam Bennett – and what the Flames should do with him both now, and in the long term. Plus…some positive comments about Troy Brouwer!

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.
