A Blue Line Trade Feels Imminent
November 30, 2023 03:26 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MBThe Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks are calling for players like Nikita Zadorov and Chris Tanev. Craig Conroy is still not in a rush because the Calgary Flames are winning. Mark Giordano is expected to miss some time after suffering an injury earlier this week. The Flames have wasted enough time trying to decide which direction to go. They're one blocked shot away from losing Tanev for the season. Zadorov's play has weakened since requesting a trade. Ship him off to Toronto. Yegor ...

November 29, 2023 00:21 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBToday, Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis chat about the Chicago Blackhawks terminating Corey Perry's contract.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not sending a first round pick and prospects for Nikita Zadorov. Jonathan Huberdeau's salary ...
Clawing their way back to .500
November 27, 2023 05:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBThe Calgary Flames have yet to reach .500. They got within reach after a win against the Dallas Stars but fell short against the Colorado Avalanche. The powerplay continues to be an issue as the Flames while Andrew Mangiapane is starting to look like his old self. There are still easily fixable mistakes taking place that are ultimately leading the Flames to losses. Join Jess Belmosto as she goes over the highs and lows of the last two games. Nikita "Best defenseman on the team" Zadorov's pla...
Chasing .500 and Avoiding a Deeper Hole Against Top Western Conference Teams
November 24, 2023 05:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe Calgary Flames played a "slow and sloppy" game against the Nashville Predators. They could not keep up with the Predators or take advantage of the powerplay. Overall it was a horrible performance that pushed the Flames further away from breaking even at .500. These next three opponents are a bit more competitive than their last stretch. They face off against the Dallas Stars who are red hot and not slowing down. We talk all about the Edmonton Oilers breaking the Flames but it was really ...

November 21, 2023 23:17 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBJonathan Huberdeau scoring on the power play against the Seattle Kraken was not on anyone's bing card.

Yegor Sharangovich Emerges in Near Comeback Against the Islanders
November 20, 2023 05:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBThe Calgary Flames traded Tyler Toffoli for Yegor Sharangovich back in June. There was a fear of little hope for Toffoli's replacement after Sharangovich's down year. He has started to emerge and make a difference in the Flames lineup. His tying goal against the Islanders on Saturday sent the Flames to overtime and an eventual shootout. Will it be long before we call him Mr. Clutch? It appears that Nick DeSimone has found his stride as well. The 29-year-old blueliner has 4 points in the last...
A Night For Huberdeau and Lindholm in 5-2 Win Over Vancouver Canucks
November 18, 2023 00:57 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBJonathan Huberdeau was able to snap his drought and get the monkey off his back. It was a great night for Flames underdogs like Elias Lindholm, Huby and Dillon Dube. Everyone found their way to the scoresheet and even multiple times! Nazem Kadri was able to find the back of the net again. It was a 5-2 win over the red hot Vancouver Canucks. This win more than likely means nothing considering the Canucks were on the second half of a back to back after a long road trip. Where is Andrew Mangiap...
Selling Ahead of the Deadline: Moving on From Zadorov and Tanev first
November 16, 2023 23:40 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MBThe Calgary Flames are going to be sellers. There are four players they have to realistically move on from by the trade deadline. First, Nikita Zadorov and Chris Tanev will be the first to move. Because of their minimal cap hit, the Flames will have more room here. But what are the disadvantages of this? Teams know the Flames are desperate. Lowballing them is probably going to happen. Then you have Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin. They have to continue to play the wait and see game with thes...
It's Time To Rebuild
November 15, 2023 23:58 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBThe Calgary Flames are overdue for a retooling and at the point of a full blown rebuild. Jonathan Huberdeau just hasn't worked out for the Flames. The talent isn't enough if the talent is showing up. How can the Flames make lemonade with these lemons? Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm should be on their way out just as soon as Chris Tanev and Nikita Zadorov. There is no more time to waste. Nick Zararis and Jess Belmosto talk about how directionless the Flames are and how Craig Conroy and the ...

Nikita Zadorov Requests Trade & Fighting a Good Fight Against the Toronto Maple Leafs

Jess Belmosto explains why this isn't anything overly surprising. His agent had a few things to say on Twitter including that Zadorov is the best defenseman on the Flames. Chris Tanev has entered the chat. The Calgary Flames are not moving on anyone's timeline other than their own. Will the Flames sell high or are they going to fumble the potential cash in? Scratching Zado...

Dustin Wolf Gets The Call and So Does Noah Hanifin... From San Jose?
November 10, 2023 01:07 - 28 minutesToday, the Calgary Flames recalled goaltender Dustin Wolf from the Calgary Wranglers. He joins the team on a three-game road trip to Ontario and Quebec.

Confidence on the rise & putting Huby in a corner
November 09, 2023 00:53 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBThe Calgary Flames have won two straight and the biggest storyline is Huska benching Huberdeau for most of the third period. At some point you have to do something instead of saying something. Actions speak louder than words.

This is not something the Flames have ever been known for and it is not often possible with the style of hockey the Flames play. Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis shar...
Hanifin, Zadorov and Tanev on their way out?

The Flames need to get off the floor
November 03, 2023 16:38 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBThe Calgary Flames are mired in a cloud of uncertainty fueled by disappointing early results. While the Flames aren't playing terribly, they're in need of a shakeup. Scraping themselves off the floor isn't going to be easy, but with so many games remaining in the season, the team can't resign itself to this early misfortune.

Is the Sky Falling in Calgary?
October 31, 2023 22:37 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBThe Calgary Flames have put any and all extension talks on hold. The organization has much bigger fish to fry than the 5 pending UFAs.

Flames Drop Fifth Straight After Heritage Classic Flub
October 30, 2023 03:39 - 29 minutesThe Battle of Alberta was one-sided tonight as the Edmonton Oilers destroyed the Calgary Flames, 5-2. Jacob Markstrom did everything he could to keep his team in the game. Nazem Zadri and AJ Greer scored their first goals of the season thanks to Mackenzie Weegar.

Jess breaks down the Heritage Classic and ...

Accountability where it matters most

In a 3-0 loss, Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov spoke to the media. The boos need to be a wake-up call for this team. There is only so much Jacob Markstrom can do to keep them in the game. Dillon Dube caught everyone's eyes for all the wrong reasons. Matthew Coronato had a very tough game defensively. Nothing about the team on the ice screamed that they were a team. Head coach Ryan Huska spoke to the...

Dan Vladar struggled in net allowing six goals while the offense was nowhere to be found. Detroit was on the second half of a back to back and danced circles around the Flames.

The Xs and Os of the first 3 games

Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis are here to reassure you that it is far too early for that to be happening. Jacob Markstrom and Matt Coronato have both been key components to the team. Three games is not a large enough sample size to determine the season's outcome or even the players' potential. There are 79 games left and there is plenty of time to iron out the kinks.

Calgary Flames overreaction Monday | Locked on Flames
October 16, 2023 23:32 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBThe Calgary Flames are two games into the young NHL season and sit at 1-1-0 after splitting a pair against the Winnipeg Jets and Pittsburgh Penguins.
