There’s been a lot of movement this morning, so it’s worth having a quick glance at exactly what decisions the Calgary Flames have to make prior to Tuesday afternoon’s roster deadline.
On the day before final rosters are due, Alan Quine has found himself placed on waivers. He is likely bound to be sent down to the Stockton Heat. #Flames have Alan Quine on waivers today. Zac Rinaldo has cleared, so he’s set to start the season in the American League. — Pat Steinberg (@Fan960Steinberg) September…
Career years from numerous key players were among the biggest reasons Calgary put together their second-best regular season in team history last year. Some suggest a few of those players are in line for backward steps this season, which is understandable. One way to mitigate the potential of that happening is with significant progression elsewhere…
Actual hockey. On Thursday. Still just a bit more waiting to do. Then we can do that hockey.
Tobias Rieder hasn’t scored a goal in a meaningful National Hockey League game in over a year. With a newly-minted two-way contract with the Calgary Flames in hand, he’s hoping he can end that cold streak.
The last meaningless hockey game of 2019 has been played. The Calgary Flames triumphed over the Edmonton Oilers by a 3-2 score on Saturday evening in their final pre-season contest. Here’s what was seen and heard at the ‘Dome following that gripping 60 minutes of ice hockey.
The Calgary Flames made a pair of signings official on Sunday morning. The club announced the signing of Zac Rinaldo to a one-year, two-way deal. (They also announced the Tobias Rieder signing reported here on Friday night.) The club has also placed Rinaldo on waivers.
The Edmonton Oilers visited the Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday night in the final contest of the pre-season for the Flames. Dressing their probable opening night roster laden with stars, the Flames instead got offensive contributions from the former Oilers in their lineup en route to a 3-2 home victory.
Rejoice, friends. The pre-season is almost over. The Calgary Flames line up this evening for their final meaningless game of the 2019-20 hockey calendar, this one a friendly against the Edmonton Oilers. The puck drops at 7 p.m. MT and you can catch the action on Sportsnet 960 The Fan and the Flames’ social media…
The Calgary Flames have sent a former Stanley Cup winner packing. The club announced on Saturday morning that they’ve released winger Devante Smith-Pelly from his professional try-out.
The Calgary Flames have a lot of goaltenders under contract right now, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Because goaltending is hockey’s most imperfect science, there’s nothing wrong with buying multiple lottery tickets. The downside, however, is a potential logjam at the minor league level, which can hamper development for everyone involved. So while it’s…
