It’s been a pretty unique season for the Calgary Flames. Originally expected to be fairly bad, the Flames have ended up being pretty good!

As the 4 Nations Face-Off break begins, the Flames sit three points outside of a playoff spot after 55 games. That’s well above where many in the hockey establishment expected them to be.

On Wednesday morning, FlamesNation managing editor Ryan Pike appeared on Global News Morning Calgary and chatted with anchor Blake Lough about the surprising season for the Flames thus far.

If you’d like to see Pike chat more about the Flames, he’s a regular co-host on After Burner (on the FlamesNation YouTube channel) and posts Flames-related videos on his own YouTube channel, too.
