The Calgary Flames have 20 games remaining on their regular season docket. They lost several games this week, but remain very much alive in perhaps the most chaotic playoff race the Western Conference has seen in years. Here’s how things look as we approach the trade deadline.
As the season goes on, a separation will typically occur amongst teams. Some pull away and appear to cement themselves a playoff spot early on; others do the exact opposite. The Coyotes fall in the latter category – and if the Flames still want to hold any playoff hopes at all, they absolutely had to…
The Arizona Coyotes are not a particularly good hockey team. They’ve played well for the last few weeks and entered tonight’s game on a winning streak, but they’re still dead-last in the National Hockey League’s standings. This was a game that the Calgary Flames were expected to win and, after a few recent losses, really…
The Calgary Flames (30-22-9) have 21 games remaining in their 2017-18 regular season schedule, and they’re not playing great at a time when the Western Conference playoff race is intensifying. They have a chance to pick up some sorely-needed points tonight against the Arizona Coyotes (17-32-10), who have been playing quite well as of late…
In 2014, down 2-0 late in the third, Brianne Jenner scored to draw Canada within one, assisted by Meaghan Mikkelson and Jocelyne Larocque. One post later, Haley Irwin and Rebecca Johnston helped Marie-Philip Poulin score the game-tying goal. Laura Fortino would do the same in overtime. It’s not like they went into hibernation, only to…
The Calgary Flames have not been playing amazingly well lately. Perhaps some may have hoped that a trip to Las Vegas to play the National Hockey League’s best home team would bring out the best in a group that has been superb on the road. Well, that didn’t happen. On a night when the hockey…
The Flames had put together a string of good games while I was putting this series together, and just 10 days ago, were sitting in a playoff position. Picking up just five points in the last six games has left them on the outside looking in. They are in danger of falling out of contention. The…
The Calgary Flames (30-21-9) make a little bit of history tonight as they head down to the Las Vegas Strip to face the Vegas Golden Knights (39-16-4) for their first-ever game at T-Mobile Arena. The Flames are in the midst of a bit of a rough stretch and are trying to solidify their playoff hopes…
The Flames are back on the road – a great thing, when you consider their home (13-14-4) and away (17-7-5) records. Of particular interest on this road trip, though – a little two-gamer, with back-to-backs in Vegas and Arizona – is that the Flames so happen to have three goaltenders with them. David Rittich was…
Rene Bourque’s status as Team Canada’s most important player in their quest for Olympic gold may come as a surprise to many who watched him play his way out of the National Hockey League over the last half-dozen years.
This morning’s optional skate for the Calgary Flames was surprisingly newsworthy, as a trio of inter-related news items dropped simultaneously. The most newsworthy morsel is likely that forward Morgan Klimchuk has been re-assigned to the American Hockey League’s Stockton Heat, which opens up a spot for Troy Brouwer as he returns from his facial injuries….
The Calgary Flames continue their season and their prospects throughout the hockey world are creeping towards the end of their various seasons. Except for the Europeans, as the Olympics has halted play in much of their professional leagues. Here’s a quick glance at how the Flames’ prospects did this past week.
