On July 1, Calgary Flames defender Rasmus Andersson will become a restricted free agent. The Swedish product is arguably the biggest piece of business for Flames general manager Brad Treliving this coming off-season and getting a deal done with Andersson quickly could pave the way for a productive summer. Preliminary conversations have already begun. Based…
The Calgary Flames did not play a perfect game on Saturday night in the Saddledome. But despite their imperfections, they managed to eke out a point against a superior opponent in a tight game.
The Calgary Flames welcomed the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues to the Saddledome on Saturday night. For two periods, the Flames were the second-best team on the ice. But they managed a big third period push to force overtime. They lost to the Blues 3-2 in overtime.
The St. Louis Blues are in town to visit the Calgary Flames on Hockey Night in Canada. The head coach of the Blues is Craig Berube, a veteran of 1,054 National Hockey League games as a player. 234 of those games were spent with the Flames. Berube was asked to reflect on his Flames tenure…
On Thursday, the Calgary Flames (10-7-2, 22 points) played their most complete game of the season. They hope to build on it tonight when they host the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the St. Louis Blues (11-3-3, 25 points), a team that has flummoxed the Flames at times over the past few seasons.

The Calgary Flames have been criticized for not playing complete 60 minute games. They didn’t play one on Thursday night when they hosted the New Jersey Devils, but playing a rock-solid final 40 minutes was all that was required. The Flames beat the Devils 5-2 with a very solid, if incomplete, effort.
When I was just a lad, the Calgary Flames (9-7-2, 20 points) hosted the New Jersey Devils (4-5-4, 12 points) every Halloween. It was thematically appropriate and we got to see Martin Brodeur at the same time every season. It was great. The NHL has completely revamped their scheduling processes since then, but tonight’s game…
