Jarome Iginla has had a 500lb monkey on his back for the past few games. He shed that monkey at 8:33 of the third period tonight when he scored the 500th goal of his NHL career to lead the Calgary Flames to a 3-1 win over the visiting Minnesota Wild. While breaking in on the [...]
Jarome Iginla scored his 497th career goal in the second period and added an assist on Curtis Glencross’ first period goal to lead the Flames to a 2-1 win against the Minnesota Wild tonight. It seems that Iggy likes playing the Wild as he has scored 33 career goals against the Wild, more than any [...]
Stephen Weiss scored the only goal in the 4th round of the shootout to give the Florida Panthers a 3-2 shootout win over the visiting Calgary Flames tonight. The shootout loss foiled Leland Irving’s attempt to get his first win in his first NHL start, but he shouldn’t be upset with how he played. Sean [...]
Quality scoring chances add up, but are not enough for the Flames as Nashville finds a way to squeeze an extra past Kipper, in the 3rd, to make it a 2-1 win. The low-scoring was set by two battling Fins for a win, and with two outstanding butterfly saves before the first 10 minutes, it [...]
I can’t remember the last time I saw a hockey game that featured 13 goals. I also can’t remember the last time that an empty net goal was the game winner, especially when that empty netter gave the winning team a 3-goal lead. But such was the case in this crazy game as the Calgary [...]
The Calgary Flames struck first, but the Vancouver Canucks countered with 5 unanswered goals to win the second match of the season 5-1. After a strong first period where the Flames kept the Canucks off the scoreboard by taking away time and space, Alex Tanguay gave the Flames a 1-0 lead with a bank-in goal [...]
The Calgary Flames survived an early two-goal deficit and came back to steal a 5-3 win in the Battle of Alberta tonight. Mikael Backlund netted the winner for the Flames, who have won both games versus Edmonton this season. Edmonton jumped out to a 2-0 lead just 3 minutes into the game after goals from [...]
D-man Derek Smith scored his first-ever NHL goal in last minute of the 1st, leaving Nashville scrambling to match the Flames throughout 40 minutes. But time-and-time again Miikka shuts the door on all 26 — giving the star net-minder his first recorded shutout of the season. And though it was a quiet and conservative play [...]
Pavel Datsyuk and Valteri Filppula scored goals 1:14 apart to break a 3-3 tie and give the Detroit Red Wings a 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames tonight. All told, Detroit capitalized on 3 of their 4 powerplay opportunities, and the Flames have nobody to blame except themselves for taking stupid penalties late in the [...]
A solid, early effort by Miikka Kiprusoff gave the Calgary Flames a massive confidence boost in a 5-2 victory over the top team in the NHL tonight. With only 5 minutes into a fast-paced first period, a scramble in front of Kipper’s crease became a no-goal off the stick of Jonathan Toews – allowing the [...]
The Calgary Flames jumped out to a 4-0 lead and Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 35 shots to give the Flames a 4-3 win in Denver tonight. Paul Byron opened the scoring for the Flames early in the first period on a hard-working drive to the net. He worked a nice give-and-go with Derek Smith, who had [...]
Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 32 of 33 shots and the Calgary Flames held off a late push from the Colorado Avalanche to win their 2nd meeting of the season 2-1. This is Kipper’s 8th consecutive win against the Avs and the Flames 7th in a row. Colorado opened the scoring 34 seconds into the first period [...]
