Flames Potential Gulutzan Replacements

Flames Potential Gulutzan Replacements

April 18th, 2018 It was only a matter of time. The Calgary Flames relieved Glen Gulutzan of his head coaching duties on Tuesday, a move many were expecting. In addition to Gulutzan, assistant coaches Dave Cameron and Paul Jerrard were also let go. Was Gulutzan fully to blame for the failed 2017-18 season of the Flames? Absolutely not. In fact, he was...
Flames Need to Retool, Not Rebuild

Flames Need to Retool, Not Rebuild

April 6th, 2018 There's a lot of frustration surrounding the Calgary Flames as the 2017-18 NHL season draws to a close, and rightfully so.

Although there's plenty to like when looking at the Flames roster, the bottom...
Calgary Flames Off-Season UFA Targets

Calgary Flames Off-Season UFA Targets

March 31st, 2018 With the Calgary Flames set to miss the playoffs in a season where expectations were high, change is most certainly coming this off-season.

Projecting Flames' Future Blue Line

Projecting Flames' Future Blue Line

March 29th, 2018 Heading into the 2017-18 season, the Calgary Flames were expected to have one of the top defenses in the NHL, but it's safe to say that expectation didn't come to fruition. The offseason signing of Travis Hamonic gave the Flames arguably the best top-four in the league, at least on paper. Barring any trades, the top four of Hamonic,...
Flames Season Defined by Inconsistency

Flames Season Defined by Inconsistency

March 26th, 2018 The 2017-18 season did not go the way the Calgary Flames had hoped. With Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan leading the offense, Travis Hamonic being brought in to bolster the blue line, and Mike Smith expected to deliver consistent goaltending, playoffs were expected to be a shoo-in. But then, inconsistency kicked in. Gaudreau and...
What Happened to Troy Brouwer?

What Happened to Troy Brouwer?

March 22nd, 2018 When the Calgary Flames signed Troy Brouwer in the summer prior to the 2016-17 season, hopes and expectations surrounding him were high. There were ambitions that he may be able to fill the void on the top line left by the departure of Jiri Hudler during the 2015-16 season. The Flames were hoping he would be "the guy" to play alongside...
