A Tale of Disconcerting Days
The Flames wasted no time these past few days. First: Try and get Ryan Smyth (what), raise middle finger to Edmonton. Ok, that didn’t work out. Second: Ask Robyn Regehr to waive NMC so he can be shipped to Buffalo. Ales Hemsky celebrates by buying everyone in Edmonton, some appletinis and parties all night. Sugar [...]
Calgary Flames: UFAs and Cap Space
With the end of another playoff-less season comes a series of predictions, plans, and most of all, a lot of questions. Mainly, what is going to be done about the Flames? I think it’s safe to say that a team “cleanup” and rebuild isn’t going to happen this summer. It looks like Jay Feaster will [...]
Calgary Flames: ‘Twas a Valiant Effort
Let the finger-pointing to begin! All Flames fans, players, coaches, etc can say what they will, but it was ultimately too little too late. The Flames managed to do their part against the formerly known (for a whole 3 days) “spoilers.” Jarome Iginla netted his 12th career hat trick along with an assist. It was [...]
Deja Vu? The Calgary Flames and a Familiar Battle for the Playoffs
This season has most certainly been an interesting one thus far. Regardless of the outcome, I think it’s fair to say we can hand it to the Flames for turning themselves from a bottom-feeding disaster to a legitimate playoff contending team. Before the season started, I remember jokingly high-fiving my friends after talking about how [...]
Welcome Back, Mr. Langkow
The unfortunate free-fall of the Flames as of the last ten games may have practically diminished all playoff hopes, but at least the Flames have something to be happy about in these remaining games; the return of centre Daymond Langkow. While Langkow isn’t that #1 centre the Flames have so desperately needed over the past [...]
It May Be Time to Stick a Fork in the Flames
I was worried about this California road trip, and it was obviously for good reason. Going 0-1-2, the Flames did pretty much the exact opposite of what they needed to do. And though I’m not usually one to seek the negative route, it would take a miracle for the Flames to make the playoffs. The [...]
Calgary Flames on California Road Trip: Be Afraid!
The next three games will most likely make or break the Flames’ season. The three game skid finally ended against Colorado on Thursday night, but its effects are evident. LA and Anaheim still have games in hand against the Flames, and both have been winning the necessary games to get them back into a playoff [...]
Phoenix Coyotes Sweep Calgary Flames in Crucial Match
As brutal as this is to say, the Coyotes most certainly had the Flames’ number this season. Every. Boring. Neutral zone. Number. After a disjointed effort in the first, followed by a series of terrible mistakes on the behalf of Ironman Jay Bouwmeester and Robyn Regehr, topped off with an almost comeback by the Flames, [...]
Flames Rout Blues, Kiprusoff Not Human
It’s been a season of ups and downs, but Miikka Kiprusoff has proven that he will be the difference maker in times of struggle for the the Flames. Yes, the score ended up being 6-0, but up until the third period, the Flames were only leading 1-0, and that was largely thanks to Kiprusoff in [...]
Calgary Flames: Some Thoughts on the Trade Deadline
The deadline is February 28th and the focus on the Flames seems more prominent than ever. Darryl Sutter had been pretty famous for making big trades in his last few years as GM. From the Brad Stuart for Andrew Ference trade, to the blockbuster Dion Phaneuf trade, and the beginning of his demise, the first [...]
