Flames Will Need A Strong Supporting Cast
April 10th, 2017 The Calgary Flames will need outstanding performances from their entire supporting cast of players if they want to upset the Anaheim Ducks in the playoffs. Late in the season, head coach Glen Gulutzan found some good chemistry on a third line composed of Kris Versteeg, Sam Bennett, and Alex Chiasson, which was an encouraging...
Flames Should Re-sign Stone
March 31st, 2017 Since joining the Calgary Flames, Michael Stone has been a big part of the team's hot play.

February 6th, 2017 What a game. There were plenty of fireworks, bursts of offense and genuine emotion between two teams that have no history of a rivalry. No, not Superbowl LI, but a fantastic contest between the Calgary Flames and New York Rangers in a matinee before the big one. http://gty.im/633231192 Matinee games are often a challenge for...
