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 [...]
Jarome Iginla lead the Calgary Flames to an important win against the Colorado Avalanche tonight by scoring two goals and providing leadership to a team that has been in a slump. The Flames ended a 3-game losing streak which started with their loss to Vancouver last Saturday and moved back into 8th place in the [...]
The Calgary Flames might just have put the final nail in the Columbus Blue Jackets’ coffin last night. The Flames held off a late push by the Blue Jackets to hand them a 4-3 loss, moving Calgary up into 5th place in the west, while leaving Columbus 6 points out of the playoffs. The Flames [...]
The fans at the Scotiabank Saddledome got their money’s worth tonight, but unfortunately the Flames couldn’t send them home happy. After taking a 3-2 lead over the San Jose Sharks into the third period they held off a flurry of offensive action from the visitors only to give up a late goal to Ryan Clowe. [...]
After almost a year of hype, the 2011 NHL Heritage Classic is now a page in history. The game was a sellout, with 41,022 fans braving the elements to attend, and I’m happy to say that I was a part of it. From the moment my family and I started layering-up in our warm clothing [...]
The Calgary Flames held off a late push from the St. Louis Blues to win their 4th straight game and enter the NHL All Star Break on a high note. David Moss scored two goals, including the game winner, to lead the Flames to a 4-1 win in Miikka Kiprusoff’s 500th NHL game. Adam “The [...]
The Calgary Flames winning streak keeps on rolling. Miikka Kiprusoff stopped 34 of 35 shots, and the Flames scored 3 times to beat the Nashville Predators and win their 3rd straight game. The game was one of the most complete games they’ve played all season, and they dominated the Preds for most of regulation. Curtis [...]
Two days after being blown out 6-0 by the Minnesota Wild the Calgary Flames bounced back with a 7-4 win over the Dallas Stars. David Moss had 2 goals and one assist to lead the Flames. Brendan Morrison also had a good night assisting on two goals and adding one of his own in the [...]
The Calgary Flames played a good game tonight. When you combine that with a poor showing from the Detroit Red Wings, it makes for an interesting match, and the Flames almost pulled it off. Unfortunatetly for the Flames, they gave up a 4-2 lead and let the Red Wings back into a game that they [...]
After all the media circus surrounding this game, I suppose it is appropriate that both of the captains were relatively silent and one of the teams broke down completely and allowed 3 goals in 57 seconds. While the Flames and Leafs have both proven that they are capable of letting in 3 goals so fast, [...]
The Calgary Flames actually won tonight, but I can’t say that I’m impressed. Sure, they jumped out to a 2-0 lead and and hung on long enough to force overtime. Sure Jarome Iginla nailed the overtime winner, but that’s not enough to make me a believer. Unfortunately just getting a win isn’t enough anymore. After [...]
The Calgary Flames won their second consecutive game while beating the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 in the Saddledome tonight. Rene Bourque lead all skaters with 3 points, including the game-winning goal. It was Calgary’s first home ice win against the Lightning since 2003. The Flames opened the scoring 7:21 into the first period when Cory [...]
