The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. Specific teams outshined while others underperformed. The Eastern Conference continues to shine while the West falters. Are the New Jersey Devils going to make a significant run? Can the Boston Bruins keep the momentum going or will they fizzle in the first round like the Tampa Bay Lightning? The Calgary Flames are sinking and they weren’t saving ship. Instead, they made minuscule depth moves. They might as well have done nothing.  Support Us By Sup...

Undecided Ahead of the Deadline

February 28, 2023 20:38 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

It's been reported that the Calgary Flames have had to pivot to plan b ahead of the deadline. They are taking an approach that they didn't think they had to based on how this season is going. The Calgary Flames have a number of roster players that could be used as bait and bring in a solid return. Elias Lindholm and Mikael Backlund are reported names of interest.

February 27, 2023 05:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MB

The Calgary Flames have two options: buy or sell. Brad Treliving holds the cards right now and could do some damage before his contract expires. He could easily trade away Andrew Mangiapane for another roster player and some picks or he could bring in another forward or defenseman to pick up the slack. Or... could he bring in an old name like Cam Talbot? Cam Talbot essentially walked so the Flames could sign Jacob Markstrom. What would it look like if the Flames did pursue Talbot? Support U...

The Calgary Flames continue to ride the struggle bus as they drop another 2 points to the Vegas Golden Knights. The Flames are a team that needs a shift in personnel but that doesn't happen during the regular season. It's about riding out the highs and mainly lows of the season and hoping to see a shift next October. The difference between the Calgary Flames and their competition is the lack of high-end players.

Cale Makar is back in concussion protocol after another huge collision. This is the second time this month that the defenseman has found himself out of the game due to a concussion. Are we going to hold the league accountable the same way we talked about Tua Tagovailoa and the NFL? What is the double standard here?

Patience is Key in OT Win

February 20, 2023 05:00 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MB

The Calgary Flames beat the New York Rangers in a 3-2 OT win Saturday. The game's first minute was electric with goals from Andrew Mangiapane and Nazem Kadri. Then it was nothing.

How many times can we say it? Quantity over quality. Their roster is not built for high-end talent and their finishing chances are down without Tkachuk and Gaudreau.

Brad Treliving's Success Doesn't Mean He Will Be Re-Signed

January 31, 2023 22:57 - 40 minutes - 37 MB

Brad Treliving has had a rather successful tenure as Calgary Flames general manager. He has been able to navigate the last decade through the ups and downs of the coaching and goalie carousel. You can present that case to anyone and say this is a rather solid general manager but if Darryl Sutter wants the job, he's going to get it. The friendship between Sutter and ownership creates a lack of chain of command and a skewed power dynamic. There is no accountability as long as Darryl Sutter is ...
