The end is nigh. Andrei Kuzmenko and Nazem Kadri are giving us some entertaining hockey BUT boy...I think we are ready for the draft and off-season. Today we're just breaking down some various topics in Flames land and digging into what's next for Conroy and this re-tool or retool or whatever it's being called. Quick programming note: this episode …

We're breaking down another week in the loss column for the Flames as the boys suffered setbacks at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks, Winnipeg Jets and the greasy, no good, neckbearded Edmonton Oilers. It's all in service of the tank though, boys. On the agenda today: Our frustrations with the Connor Zary scratch and the lack of playing time for both…

Andrei Kuzmenko put on a show this as the Flames new look line combos seem to have sparked some chemistry between Kuzmenko, Marty Pospisil, & Nazem Kadri this week. Today we're breaking down where the Flames are at heading into the tank...errrr...stretch drive. On today's agenda: How Kuzy could be a very valuable piece for this team moving forward …

Alright, boys. There's not a ton going on in Flames land these days. The season is pretty much over for all intents and purposes...so today we're breaking down what we'd like to see down the mostly meaningless stretch drive. We wanna see Matt Coronato, as much of Dustin Wolf as humanly possible, and how Ryan Huska is (or isn't) setting the table fo…

The Flames continued their streaky ways with wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Montreal Canadiens after getting embarrassed by the Avalanche and Hurricanes last week. Dustin Wolf made his triumphant return starting and winning both matches (and making it look pretty easy). Today we're breaking down Wolf's impressive performances and focusing o…

In his first year on the job, Craig Conroy stuck to his word and moved out five pending UFAs. Call it a rebuild, call it a retool, call it rekindle, call it a re-anything you want: Craig has the team moving in a new direction. Today, we're breaking down the cultural shift in Calgary, how the team can mould a new identity, and discussing the afterma…

Our hero Miikka Kiprusoff was immortalized with number 34 going to the rafters of the Dome rightfully alongside Jarome Iginla, Mike Vernon, and Lanny McDonald. The Flames looked like they were going to lay an egg on Kipper's night but Nazem Kadri, Yegor Sharangovich, and Blake Coleman had other ideas as the Flames stormed back with an epic third-pe…

The Flames continued to bring us along for the rollercoaster ride following up a three-game slump (featuring ugly losses to San Jose and Detroit) with a nice winning streak topping some of the league's best clubs (Winnipeg, Boston, and the Greasers). Today we're breaking down the Battle of Alberta (finally featuring some actual battling!) and baski…

The rumours continue to swirl as the Flames drop some ugly games against the Sharks and Red Wings. Today we're breaking down the Jacob Markstrom, Noah Hanifin, Chris Tanev, and, hell, even Rasmus Andersson trade rumours. Go Flames Go Learn more about your ad choices.

The vibes have been quite immaculate recently as the Flames have been on a nice roll despite all the uncertainty and rumours swirling. Today we're breaking down road 3-1 road trip and diving into the Jacob Markstrom trade rumors. Who knows what the future holds but as of right now: IN CONNY WE TRUST. Go Flames Go Learn more about your ad choices. V…

We asked Craig Conroy to sell, sell, sell and boy...did he deliver! The Flames and Vancouver Canucks came together on a blockbuster deal that saw the good guys in red acquire Andrei Kuzmenko (the Kuzmeister), Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo, a first-round draft pick, and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in exchange for Elias Lindholm. We're bre…

After an impressive stretch to start the New Year, The Flames reminded all of us why the fire sale should (and hopefully will) be on. Don Maloney claimed the All-Star break would be a key inflection point moving forward...so will it be? At the break, the Flames sit in the bottom third in the league with all signs pointing to them being a bottom fee…

Following the debacle against the Blackhawks the Flames are sucking us right back in with a strong stretch of hockey that saw them win four in a row (before getting hosed by a TERRIBLE 'hand pass' call). Yegor and Coleman are HOT, Huberdeau is playing some good hockey, and the Flames are actually fun to watch...do they have a chance to push for the…

The Flames just completed a very 'Flamesy' stretch going 4-4 over their last eight games. Apparently, this means the Noah Hanifin extension talks are back on. Today we're looking at a stretch that featured beating Nashville & Minnesota but losing to Philly & THE MOTHERF***ING Chicago Blackhawks AHL team (again!!!) and talking about the pros and con…

We're checking in on the Flames following a 2-2-2 run that saw Yegor Sharangovich absolutely RIP and Jonathan Huberdeau absolutely dip. We're also talking trades and trying to figure out possible landing spots for the likes of Elias Lindholm, Chris Tanev, Noah Hanifin and maybe even Jacob Markstrom.

The Flames are making a name for themselves as comeback kings of late. Today we're talking about Conroy's trade intentions, the Nikita Zadorov return, Dustin Wolf, and rookie sensation Connor Zary.

The Flames are playing some good hockey mostly on the backs of Marty Pospisil and Connor Zary (even Jonathan Huberdeau is showing signs of life) but where does that leave them moving forward? We're breaking down the Flames 2-0-1 week (wins over Vancouver and Montreal and a shootout loss vs the Islanders) and trying to figure out the path for Craig …

Lots of drama in Calgary this week as not only was Jonathan Huberdeau benched for the entire third period against the Nashville Predators (the Flames' best period of hockey, mind you) but Nikita Zadorov has requested a trade. The 30th-place Flames seem headed for a pivot despite management's refusal to admit defeat. But...it's not all bad...Dustin …

The Flames snapped a six-game slump with a win against the Seattle Kraken but are still mired in a pretty dismal start to the season. There have been some bright spots of late with Connor Zary and Martin Pospisil impressing in their NHL debuts. Today we're breaking down the continued struggles of Jonathan Huberdeau, laughing at the Oilers drama, an…

After two years of drifting the Flames finally have a captain...and he goes by the name Mikael Backlund. WE KNOW NO KING BUT THE KING IN THE NORTH, WHOSE NAME IS BACKLUND. We're breaking down the captaincy as well as discussing the Flames' encouraging performance in preseason thus far (yeah, we're sucked right back in, homies). Prayers and thoughts…

We're back...we're a bit rusty...and almost nothing has happened. Today we are ruminating on the Flames with some leadership talk, breaking down the departure of Matthew Phillips, the Tyler Toffoli & Yegor Sharangovich swap, and the (still) looming question marks of Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin. That and more on a quick check-in episode before c…

Much has transpired since we last chatted, folks. The Flames hired Ryan Huska, Mitch Love dipped to Washington, Iggy is back, Savard is back, and apparently nobody wants to play here (hey when you can't even get Noah Hanifin to commit...you might have a problem). We're talking all things Toffoli, Lindholm, Hanifin, and Backlund, and breaking down w…

The dust has settled and Craig Conroy has officially been named the eighth GM in Calgary Flames history. We're breaking down the epoch of the Conny era in Calgary and if it is indeed a new direction for the franchise (or if we should expect more of the same). Also, we're checking in with our old pals Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett as they march to…
