Calgary Flames

Calgary Flames Midseason Awards

For the past three seasons, the Calgary Flames have been a playoff bubble team that has found themselves finishing just outside the annual Stanley Cup tournament with respective finishes of 10th, 10th, and 9th.  While the preceding three seasons certainly birthed expectations of playoff contention, the Flames currently find themselves not just under the .500 ...

Calgary Flames: Grading The First Half Of The 2013 Season

Through the first half of the 2013 National Hockey League season, you could say things haven’t gone according to plan for the Calgary Flames. With a handful of new players and the hopeful emergence of youngsters in expanded roles, one would imagine the team would be satisfied with hovering just over .500 and around the ...

Breaking Through The Wall: Calgary Flames Rise Above .500

Six times this season, the Calgary Flames have had the opportunity to creep above the .500 mark in the National Hockey League’s standings. After posting a 0-4-1 record in their previous five attempts, the Flames broke through the proverbial wall with an impressive 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Flames ...

Flame Retardant: You May Be Smarter Than Your Team’s GM

On February 28, Calgary Flames’ General Manager Jay Feaster made a huge splash in the hockey headlines by signing Colorado Avalanche holdout RFA center Ryan O’Reilly to an offer-sheet, giving the two-way pivot $10 million over two seasons. On the surface, it was a hockey move meant to help Feaster’s club, a playoff bubble team ...

The Calgary Flames: Optimism and Pessimism

In whichever way the Flames season continues, there has never been so much evidence to support the two-fold identities of Flames fans- the optimists and the pessimists.  For those not local to the Calgary area, the media and the fans are seemingly split on their opinions of the direction of the franchise. This is always ...

Home Cooking: Calgary Flames Sweep Key Weekend Series

Two games under the .500 mark and with the sand in the hourglass gradually diminishing, the Calgary Flames hoped to gain some clarity on their season with two weekend games at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The worst-case outcome would drop the Flames to the NHL’s basement. The best-case outcome would bump them closer to the playoff ...

Matt Stajan leads rag-tag group of Calgary Flames centers

Last season, the Calgary Flames had quite a few problems. Chief among them was Matt Stajan and, arguably, all he represented. He had a fat $3.5 million cap hit, played fourth line minutes and was inconsistent from game-to-game. He was also a living memory of the Dion Phaneuf trade to Toronto, the first massive stumble ...

Jay Bouwmeester: Raising the Bar for Playoff Futility

Jay Bouwmeester is on the verge of reaching a very unwelcome milestone. The Flames defenseman has the longest active iron man streak, having played 598 consecutive regular season games. The key words there are ‘regular season’. You see, the other record he’s closing in on is that for the most games played without ever appearing in ...

Flames Should Consider Ryan O’Reilly Offer Sheet

With the apparent complete breakdown of talks between the Colorado Avalanche and their unsigned RFA centre Ryan O’Reilly, there is a strong opinion forming that the likelihood of the Flame’s divisional rival trading O’Reilly is now a likely possibility.   Due to the Flames being a divisional rival, it is highly unlikely that the Flames ...
