FlamesNation managing editor Ryan Pike took to the airwaves on Thursday. He jumped on Sportsnet 960 The Fan to chat about the Calgary Flames with Logan Gordon.
The topics of conversation included Travis Hamonic opting out of the Return to Play, the goaltending battle between David Rittich and Cam Talbot, and the importance of the upcoming post-season to the Flames core (including Johnny Gaudreau). All this, plus discussion of Pike’s Masterton Trophy ballot.
