No really, with the exception of a few shining moments, the Sharks did suck big time tonight. Their horrible play definitely helped the Calgary Flames to a 4-1 victory at home. The win was a great one for the team, and especially for Miikka Kiprusoff, who made his return to the ice after nursing an [...]
Calgary Flames goaltender Danny Taylor has his first NHL win, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The Plymouth, UK-born goaltender stopped 29 shots to help the Flames beat the Canucks 4-2, and in doing so, becomes only the 3rd UK-born goaltender to win an NHL game. Taylor had a lot of help [...]
Oh boy! It’s a win streak. It seems like a long time since I’ve said that when speaking about the Flames, but it’s true, and it came in a dramatic fashion last night. Trailing the Phoenix Coyotes 4-3 with less 2 minutes to play in the 3rd period, it seemed that the Flames would end [...]
The Calgary Flames haven’t had a lot of mojo at home this season. It might be too early to say for sure, but that might have changed last night, after Matt Stajan lead the Flames with 2 goals in a 3-1 win over the visiting Minnesota Wild. Alex Tanguay scored a highlight reel goal early [...]
The Calgary Flames found their scoring touch on the 25th anniversary of the Opening Ceremonies of the 1988 Winter Olympics as they beat the Dallas Stars 7-4 at the Saddledome tonight. Mike Cammalleri scored his 200th career NHL goal into the empty-net with 1:26 remaining in the game to seal the win in a wild [...]
The Calgary Flames are making improvements. That much is clear after last night’s game against the Anaheim Super Ducks. They still have a little way to go to earn their first win of the season though. Ryan Getzlaf, Saku Koivu and Daniel Winnik scored early in the first period to give the Ducks a 3-0 [...]
The first period of tonight’s game was enough to whip any Flames fan in to a frenzy. They came out fast, and strong and looking like a brand new team. For 20 minutes, they absolutely dominated the San Jose Sharks on both ends of the ice and ended the period with a 1-0 lead. It [...]
The Calgary Flames have made the final cuts and have announced the roster for their opening game on Sunday night. I’m happy to see the usual names in the roster, though there are a couple nice surprises… and a couple names I’d rather not see. After what seems like too long in the AHL, Leland [...]
The Calgary Flames have signed 28-year old Czech winger, Jiri Hudler to a 4-year $16M contract. In 7 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, Hudler has played 409 career games, tallying 87 goals and 214 points. He scored 25 goals and 50 points in 81 games last season. “Jiri Hudler is a highly skilled and [...]
It’s official. The Calgary Flames have hired a new Head Coach and it is Bob Hartley. Hartley comes to the Flames after a championship season with the ZSC Lions of Switzerland’s National League A. He has won championships at other levels in pro hockey, including a Calder cup with the 1997 Hershey Bears and the [...]
Calgary Flames General Manager, Jay Feaster, announced today that the Flames organization has come to a mutual agreement with Brent Sutter and he will no longer be the coach of the team moving forward. The announcement isn’t a big surprise after the Flames failed to make the playoffs for a third consecutive season, and certainly [...]
The Calgary Flames playoff hopes keep sputtering along. As they have done for the past couple seasons, the Flames are leaving the drama right to the end. Tonight’s game was the “see” end of the see-saw that has been the Flames season… as in: “See! We are still alive.” But it gives some fans some [...]
