With a Calgary win and a Phoenix regulation loss tonight, the Flames could have done something that they have yet to do this year: find themselves in the top 8 teams in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, the Dallas Stars were set on making the playoffs too, so they didn’t roll over and let Calgary get [...]
Every time the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames play some Leafs fan pipes up about how the Leafs “won” the Phaneuf trade. Every time I read this I laugh as it seems that Leafs Nation has not come to fully appreciate the defensive liability that is their Captain… the honourable Dion Phaneuf. Phaneuf was [...]
Jarome Iginla scored the shootout winner and Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 29 of 31 shots to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks tonight. The Flames opened the scoring at 17:23 of the first period when Mike Cammalleri scored his 12th goal of the season with a backhander/deflection off the leg [...]
It’s Hockey Day in Canada today, so as soon as you’re finished reading this post you should go grab your skates and your stick and head to your local outdoor rink to play some shinny… unless of course, you live in Vancouver where there isn’t really a winter so this isn’t an option. CBC came [...]
It was a busy night in the shark tank as milestones, Mcmeal jokes and a cogent team effort solidified Calgary Flames with a 4-3 win over San Jose last night. It was a dominant solid right from the first 20 minutes, as the Flames consistently played their offensive game — one that seems to be [...]
The Honda Center has not been a friendly place for the Flames for a long time. Thanks to Niklas Hagman’s 8th-round shootout goal, which gave the Ducks a 3-2 win tonight, it continues to be the worst place on earth for Calgary to visit. Calgary hasn’t won a regular season game in Anaheim since 2004 [...]
The Chicago Blackhawks are not fans of Alberta hockey teams this year. One night after getting smoked 8-4 by the Edmonton Oilers, the Hawks came into Calgary looking to get back to their winning ways. Unfortunately for Chicago fans, Miikka Kiprusoff, Jarome Iginla, Olli Jokinen and Jay Bouwmeester weren’t having anything to do with that. [...]
With the game off to an emotional beginning (with a well-deserved Brad McCrimmon tribute), the Flames jump-start into the first period with a full tank of gas, ready to gain the 2 points they so desperately need. Howard, a northwest division goalie we’ve always struggled to score against, was an absolute wall in the first. [...]
Kudos to the Calgary Flames organization for putting together a touching pre-game ceremony to remember the life of Brad McCrimmon, who lost his life in the plane crash that killed most of the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv hockey team last September. The Flames welcomed members of Brad’s family to the ‘Dome tonight before the Flames-Red Wings game [...]
Lee Stempniak had a hat trick and added an assist to lead the Calgary Flames to a 6-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers tonight. The win was the 9th straight Battle of Alberta win for the Flames and the 16th in 17 games versus their provincial rivals. Mikael Backlund, Blake Comeau and Lee Stempniak all [...]
It was one of the sleepiest games you’ll ever watch, and in the end the Calgary Flames found the back of the net more than the LA Kings did in the shootout. Miikka Kiprusoff stopped two LA shooters and Olli Jokinen and Mike Cammalleri both scored to give the Flames the shootout win. Kings captain [...]
The San Jose Sharks capitalized on two of three shootout attempts to seal a come-from-behind, 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames tonight. Both Michael Handzus and Brent Burns beat Miikka Kiprusoff, while Antti Niemi stopped Jarome Iginla and Michael Cammalleri in the shootout. After a scoreless first period, Chris Butler finally found the back of [...]
