The Calgary Flames reached the midway mark of their pre-season schedule on Tuesday evening when they hosted – and beat – the Vancouver Canucks at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
Ahead of that game, on Tuesday afternoon, Daily Faceoff Calgary managing editor Ryan Pike joined Daily Faceoff Vancouver’s David Quadrelli and Harman Dayal to discuss all sorts of Flames-related topics on their daily program, West Coast Conversation.
Topics of conversation included:
- How Simon Nemec and Zayne Parekh can co-exist on the Flames blueline while both try to be “the guy.”
- Are the Flames better than the Canucks?
- How Flames fans are approaching the coming season.
- How is the Flames’ rebuild progressing under general manager Craig Conroy?
- And more!
Check out the interview below, and head over to Daily Faceoff Vancouver’s YouTube channel… if you’re into Canucks-based content.
