Hello internet, it’s your much maligned community manager with episode three of the new FlamesNation podcast. Today’s episode features show regulars Ari Yanover, Christian T., and myself. Ryan Pike was unable, presumably lost in the Saddledome.
If anyone has seen him, let us know.
The Rundown
Last night we recorded after the wonderful shutout victory over the Toronto Maple Austons, covering such topics as:
- Chad Johnson, who is the starting goalie of this Calgary Flames team now. He’s also Big and Local 2.0
- Micheal Ferland, and the continued push for his ascension (building off WWYD Wednesday’s topic)
- The news surrounding Dougie Hamilton and why he is sticking around. Toronto, if you want someone have a Dennis Wideman
- The debut of Mark Jankowski and Jankomania
- Kris Versteeg aka Little and Local – what to do with him potentially at season’s end
- Another look at Glen Gulutzan and if things are coming together finally
iTunes is coming. We just got approval so I need to get some storage sorted out and everything uploaded later on this week. We’ll be adding the podcast to Stitcher shortly as well. Any feeedback on any topics you want us to cover in future episodes would be fantastic as well.
