Former Flames' Prospect Joni Ortio Signs with Swedish Club

Former Flames' Prospect Joni Ortio Signs with Swedish Club

September 7th, 2016 Former Calgary Flames goaltender Joni Ortio is leaving North America to play professional hockey in Sweden. Ortio signed a contract with Skellefteå of the Swedish Hockey League, the team announced on Wednesday. After the Flames did not extend a qualifying offer to Ortio earlier this summer and acquired goaltenders Brian Elliot...

Fantasy Findings: Philipp Grubauer and Other Easter Treats

March 27th, 2016 Most teams are down to single digits when it comes to games remaining. Playoff positions are starting to lock up in the NHL and some fantasy leagues are already in the midst of their own playoff chaos. For other teams in those playoff leagues, it’s time for spring cleaning and emptying out the boxes in time to fill them back up for...
Calgary's Goaltending Problems Key in Flames' Struggles

Calgary's Goaltending Problems Key in Flames' Struggles

March 4th, 2016 Usually when a team is shelling out over $12 million to their goaltenders alone, they would expect a guy in the crease who can stop a puck here and there. Montreal pays $6.5 million per season for Price, Lundqvist is bringing in $8.5 million in New York, so since Calgary is paying even more than that, they should have the present day...
3 Teams Who Could Benefit From Claiming Joni Ortio

3 Teams Who Could Benefit From Claiming Joni Ortio

November 26th, 2015 The Calgary Flames have again waived a goaltender. This time it's Finnish goaltender Joni Ortio. The 24-year-old is in the final year of a one-way contract that pays him $600,000 and leaves him as a RFA at the end of the season. The Flames started the season carrying three goaltenders, knowing they believed Ortio was the future of...
Early Struggles Cloud Calgary's Goaltending Future

Early Struggles Cloud Calgary's Goaltending Future

November 15th, 2015 The Calgary Flames entered this season with a unique problem. After making the playoffs on the backs of strong performances by veteran goalies Karri Ramo and Jonas Hiller, and a crucial week of fill-in from young Finnish netminder Joni Ortio, the club brought all three into training camp with one-way contracts and the hope that two...
Three's Company in Calgary

Three's Company in Calgary

September 29th, 2015 The Calgary Flames are in a bit of a pickle with their goaltending situation. They currently have three keepers all on one-way contracts. The season is approaching, and carrying three goalies isn't ideal for a team with a max roster size of 23 bodies. Jonas Hiller has a year left on his two-year contract with a $4.5 million salary...

Odd Man Out: The Calgary Flames Goaltending Breakdown

September 29th, 2015 As training camp and the overstretched NHL preseason finally begins to wind down, the Calgary Flames find themselves in the unique position of having three goaltenders currently signed to one-way contracts. In terms of training camp storylines, the "problem" of having depth at perhaps the most important position in hockey is by no...

A Look at Calgary's Preseason Schedule

Joni Ortio: The Real Deal?

Joni Ortio: The Real Deal?

February 17th, 2015 Ortio's Time to Shine In the world of hockey, we continuously see the emergence of goaltenders in the game. Guys who just seem to turn heads as soon as they step onto the ice. Take Rob Zepp for example, from the Philadelphia Flyers. At 30 years of age, he had the opportunity to play for the club and has put up incredibly solid numbers...
The Flames Files: Week Twelve In Review

The Flames Files: Week Twelve In Review

January 19th, 2015 Game 1 The Calgary Flames had a few days to recover from a tough week in which they won only one of their last four games. On Thursday night, the benefits of a four-day break and a very light schedule (Week 12 held only two games for the Flames) were evident against the Arizona Coyotes. Joni Ortio's remarkable performance against...

Fantasy Hockey: Goalie Pick-ups Under 40% Owned

January 19th, 2015 With the NHL All-Star break coming up, fantasy managers are probably thankful for an off-week in which they can tinker with their lineups without having the added pressure of winning certain categories. Seeing as how some teams have played close to 50 games so far this season, time is a factor that is definitely not on the side of a...

The Flames Files: Week Eleven In Review

January 14th, 2015 Game 1 The Flames' success may have been up and down lately, but the New York Islanders' certainly hasn't. In fact, prior to their matchup in Calgary on January 2nd, the Isles had won eight of their last thirteen games, and were creeping up on top spot in the Eastern conference. And to ensure that they continued on that upward path,...
Calgary's Goalie Rotation Pays Early Dividends

Calgary's Goalie Rotation Pays Early Dividends

October 17th, 2014 Last season was the first campaign in a decade where the Calgary Flames had uncertainty in goal. After the retirement of local legend Miikka Kiprusoff over the off-season, the Flames had four potential contenders for the job as the team's next great netminder and rotated through all of them throughout the 2013-14 season. Joey...

Calgary Flames 2014-15 Preview: Goaltenders

September 25th, 2014 When the Calgary Flames broke camp last season, it was in the immediate aftermath of the retirement of Miikka Kiprusoff. With the team's all-time best netminder gone, there were questions everywhere and a lot of uncertainty. Flash forward 12 months, and things are a lot less murky. A LOOK BACK The Flames opened 2013-14 with KHL...
Baby Steps: How the Calgary Flames Rebuild Is Finding Its Way

Baby Steps: How the Calgary Flames Rebuild Is Finding Its Way

March 21st, 2014 In the first year of their rebuild, the Calgary Flames are once again in the National Hockey League's bottom five. It's not from a lack of trying. The pesky Flames have developed a reputation for hard work throughout the 2013-14 campaign, but it's not been translated well onto the scoreboard or onto the standings. For the...
