The Calgary Flames lost to Dallas on Tuesday night. It happens, as their goaltender was really good. The Flames lost to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night in Denver by a 5-2 score. The visitors were good enough for the first half of the game, but then some old habits crept in – shaky goaltending,…
Less than 24 hours after being shut out by the Dallas Stars, the Calgary Flames (32-23-9) dust themselves off and prepare for another critical match-up in the Western Conference playoff race. They face another team on the outside of the playoffs, and scrambling for points, in the form of the Colorado Avalanche (33-24-5). These teams…
The Flames’ trade deadline saw them pick up two extra bodies without shipping any out, which is, of course, always going to raise questions about the lineup.
I mean, sometimes you just run into a talented goalie having a great night and, no matter how many pucks you throw at him or how many high quality chances you generate on the powerplay, it’s just not going to go your way. It happens.
Man, Ben Bishop was really good tonight. That’s the main takeaway from a game where the Calgary Flames did 90% of things correctly. Sure, their power play could’ve done a lot more with six chances. But the Dallas Stars performed reasonably well and rode a hot goaltending performance by Bishop to a 2-0 shutout victory…

At the trade deadline, the Flames saw they had a problem they needed to rectify. The team has very few right shots, and no right-shot centres. Catching wind that they would be able to pick one up for the Ottawa Senators, they took the plunge, trading a second round pick seventh round pick for Curtis…
Despite furious armchair GMing, the Flames prospects escaped the trade deadline without any losses. Well, besides the yet to be named 16-year-old Finnish kid the Senators will draft. We’ll miss him.

Forward Andrew Mangiapane has been returned to the Stockton Heat of the American Hockey League. Newly signed blueliner Cody Goloubef has also been reassigned to Stockton. Finally,…
Following a trade deadline that was simultaneously defined by big moves involving five first round picks on one hand and a bunch of smaller tinker trades throughout the rest of the league, the Calgary Flames ended up having a fairly sedate deadline day. After all the dust had settled, Flames general manager Brad Treliving chatted…
