It's Now Or Never for the Flames
November 24th, 2016 On November 12, the Calgary Flames fell 4-1 to the New York Rangers on the back of a lackluster effort and slid to 5-10-1. The record would match last year's start, tying the worst 15 game beginning to a season since 2000-01. For a team entering the season with playoff aspirations, the Flames were laying the proverbial egg. It doesn't...
5 Things The Flames Need To Become Contenders
