Flames Go All-In Thanks to Prospect Depth
January 12th, 2018 Over the past few seasons, arguably the biggest thing that Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving has done to improve his hockey club is making trades without losing pieces from the team's roster. The 2015 off-season was highlighted by Treliving acquiring Dougie...

The Flames' Sixth Defenseman
October 1st, 2017 As sure as the sun sets in the west and slow drivers camp in Deerfoot's leftmost lane, the Flames will roll into the season sporting a top-four defensive pairing of Dougie Hamilton with Mark Giordano and T.J. Brodie with Travis Hamonic. The third blue line pairing is...

Time for Change on Flames Blue Line
January 20th, 2017 Judging by the scoresheet, a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday night, suggests that the Calgary Flames were in a tightly contested game. Having heavily outshot the Predators 35-21, it might seem the Flames drew the short straw in the goaltending battle. But,...
Big Contract Decision with Bennett
January 13th, 2017 Expectations have always been sky high for Sam Bennett, especially since the former OHL standout was picked by the Calgary Flames fourth overall in the 2014 entry draft. After a solid yet unspectacular rookie season last year that saw Bennett notch 18 goals and 36 points,...

Depth Is Key for Flames Next Step
December 24th, 2016 Saying that the Flames, who've dropped three of their past four games, looked mediocre in their losses would be putting it lightly. Lacklustre efforts and an inability to create sustained pressure in the offensive zone were consistent themes against the Tampa Bay Lightning,...
