After one hundred and nineteen days, the NHL lockout is over and hockey is coming back. <Queue the music and trumpets> The Flames are currently in the middle of a shortened training camp and will start their season this Sunday at the ‘Dome hosting the San Jose Sharks. They follow it up with a Monday [...]
As we’ve heard from many Oilers and Canucks fans, a perfect record in the preseason means nothing. Sure, they’re whining a bit since we beat both of their teams twice, but they do have a point. Mark this day on your calendar. I’ve just agreed with Coilers and Cant-nucks fans. After beating the Oilers 5-2 [...]
The Flames host the Oilers at the ‘Dome tonight for their final game of the preseason. The Oilers will be looking to improve their preseason record, while the Flames hope to finish the 2010 preseason with a perfect 7-0 record.

The Calgary Flames take to the ice in the ‘Dome in 90 minutes time, and fans are looking for more big performances, not just from the young Flames, but also the top line of Iginla, Tanguay and Jokinen. The toast of the town so far this pre-season has been T.J. Brodie, who continues to impress [...]

Though we’re still 16 days away from the start of the 2009-2010 regular season, the Battle of Alberta lights up again as the Flames begin the pre-season by hosting the Oilers tomorrow night. The game will be streamed live on flames.nhl.com, and begins at 7:00pm and there are still tickets available. There will be a [...]
Well this is something I never saw coming. Former Flames Captain and Stanley Cup Champion, Theo Fleury is looking at making a comeback into the NHL. He is 41 years old.
