The Flames have been a force to reckon with at the Scotiabank Saddledome winning their last eight straight at home. With only 3 points between the L.A. Kings and the Flames, Saturday’s game was no doubt a tough loss to swallow, giving up 3 easy goals in the 2nd even after consistent pressure for the [...]
The Calgary Flames survived an early two-goal deficit and came back to steal a 5-3 win in the Battle of Alberta tonight.

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.

The photo above is not a goal celebration. Let’s be clear about that. Let’s also be honest with ourselves about this season. The fact that the Calgary Flames made it this far should make fans happy. In December the thought of the Flames making the playoffs was laughable. The only team that had fewer points [...]

[...]
