The OFFICIAL Calgary Flames Season Preview

The Calgary Flames are back in session! After a long six months, Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis are able to preview the Calgary Flames season. The two provide a clearer picture of some big questions surrounding the team. Ryan Huska is a first-time NHL coach with quite a task ahead of him. The Flames have said they are a playoff team and it's his job to make that vision come true. But what happens when things get tough? Will Flames fans be forgiving or are they holding him to a higher standard? Some fans just aren't buying it... It's not just the players in "wait and see" mode. Flames fans aren't really leaning into the season. They are rightfully cautious. Jess and Nick talk about why American Thanksgiving is a good time to evaluate teams and their positions. The pair wrap up the show with Jacob Markstrom and Dustin Wolf. Wolf struggled in the preseason and didn't force anyone's hand when it came to making the roster. He has been sent to the AHL. Is this a smart decision?At what point does Dan Vladar get traded and Wolf becomes an NHL back up? Every single decision maker on this team has to have a lot more self awareness and accountability during this season.
