Flames’ Defence Crucial Component For Team Success

Flames’ Defence Crucial Component For Team Success

January 9th, 2021 While the 2020-21 NHL season will be unlike any before it, the Calgary Flames’ defensive core will again be a major factor in how much success they have. The good news, in that regard, is they enter the new season with largely the same pieces, minus T.J. Brodie who signed a four-year, $20 million deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs...
Calgary Flames' Dark Horse Candidates for Next Captain

Calgary Flames' Dark Horse Candidates for Next Captain

December 27th, 2020 Mark Giordano doesn’t appear ready to retire in the foreseeable future, however, whenever he does, the Calgary Flames will have quite a few worthy options for the captaincy. Matthew Tkachuk is the most obvious person to fill this role when the time comes, and, with the rising trend of a team’s star player being named captain at a...
Flames Have a Lot to Work on This Season

Flames Have a Lot to Work on This Season

December 20th, 2020 In the upcoming 2020-21 season, the Calgary Flames must show that they are on track to contend for a Stanley Cup in the next few years. That means making it out of the Canadian division playoffs (assuming one is established) and on to at least the equivalent of a conference final in whatever playoff format the league adopts. If that...
3 Best Calgary Flames to Never Win a Stanley Cup

3 Best Calgary Flames to Never Win a Stanley Cup

December 19th, 2020 It has been a long time since Calgary Flames fans have seen their team win the Stanley Cup. In fact, with their only championship being in 1989, many of their current fans weren't even been born to witness it. It hasn’t all been bad, as they have had some great teams and individual players over the years, but they have not yet been...
Flames Have Some Pretty Intense On-Ice Rivalries

Flames Have Some Pretty Intense On-Ice Rivalries

December 15th, 2020 Rivalries are what sports are built on; when two teams keep us coming back for more. These games transcend others because the stakes are higher—the triumphs greater, the losses more stinging. Deny it as we might, we love to have our hearts ratchet between jubilance and loathing, sorrow and schadenfreude (or 'Chiadenfreude' as...
How Mark Giordano Became an All-Time Great Calgary Flame

How Mark Giordano Became an All-Time Great Calgary Flame

December 10th, 2020 Mark Giordano is entering the twilight of his career at 37 years old, and when NHL players reach that age, it’s always a question of how much do they have left in the tank. His career is far from over, as his deal carries two more years at $6.75 million. But when looking at Giordano, it’s not hard to ask how an undrafted...
Flames' Giordano Should Give Up the Captaincy

Flames' Giordano Should Give Up the Captaincy

November 20th, 2020 I know, I know. Even suggesting it seems ludicrous, almost blasphemous for many of the Calgary Flames faithful.  The stalwart defenseman is only a year removed from winning the Norris Trophy and is seen by many as the heart and soul of this team. The guy bleeds red! Well, yes, technically I guess we all bleed red, but Mark Giordano...
Flames' 5 Most Productive Defensemen of All-Time

Flames' 5 Most Productive Defensemen of All-Time

November 17th, 2020 It takes more than offensive statistics to measure the impact of a great defenseman, including leadership, toughness, and durability; attributes that are difficult to quantify, yet are intrinsic to winning teams. The Calgary Flames have had many great defensemen over the last 40 seasons, from swift skaters to bone-crushing body...
Flames Need Their Stars to Shine For Success in 2021

Flames Need Their Stars to Shine For Success in 2021

November 11th, 2020 Two of the Calgary Flames’ biggest stars, Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau, struggled statistically during the 2019-20 season. However, a bounce-back could launch the Flames back into the race for the Pacific, assuming they end up staying in their division rather than joining a Canadian division for the coming season. Johnny...
Flames and Giordano Should Benefit From Shortened NHL Season

Flames and Giordano Should Benefit From Shortened NHL Season

November 6th, 2020 As of right now, both the start date and the length of the 2020-21 season remains unknown. There is still plenty to be sorted out, such as whether or not the league will attempt to do hybrid bubbles, change the divisions, or go back to how things were pre-covid. One thing for certain is that fans want as much hockey as possible, which...
Today in Hockey History: Sept. 20

Today in Hockey History: Sept. 20

September 20th, 2020 There have been some unique moments in National Hockey League history that have occurred on this date. Two heated rivals in California closed out an old barn with a crazy preseason game while another franchise made their league debut. Plus, an all-time great was born in Quebec. Feisty Finale at the Forum Due to the Staples Center...
Mark Giordano's Down Season a Cause for Concern

Mark Giordano's Down Season a Cause for Concern

September 16th, 2020 While many individuals on the Calgary Flames had disappointing seasons, one that didn’t seem to get as much chatter was team captain Mark Giordano. Coming off of a career year where he had posted 74 points and won his first-ever Norris Trophy, both fans and management were hoping for more of the same during the 2019-20...
Last Flame to Win Each NHL Award

Last Flame to Win Each NHL Award

July 18th, 2020 While the Calgary Flames do not have the most decorated history, they have still had some good teams and players since joining the NHL in 1980. As a result of those players, they have won numerous individual awards over the years. Related: Calgary Flames' Best All-Time As is the norm, the NHL has begun to announce the nominees...
Calgary Flames' Top 5 Players of the Decade

Calgary Flames' Top 5 Players of the Decade

June 9th, 2020 The last decade has been fairly disappointing for the Calgary Flames. This season included, they only made the playoffs four times, and made it past the first round once. If they don't win the Stanley Cup in this summer’s playoffs, it will mark 31 years since their first and only championship. Related: Flames' 5 Most Productive...
Early Look at the Flames' Expansion Draft Options

Early Look at the Flames' Expansion Draft Options

March 17th, 2020 With all the exciting things that happen in the NHL day in and day out, it is sometimes hard to remember that there will be a new NHL franchise in Seattle for the 2021-22 season. Although an official date for the Seattle Expansion Draft has yet to be announced, the Vegas Golden Knights had theirs on the day of the NHL awards on June 21,...
