Latest news and updates about the Flames
A real Canadian flavour to the Sunday Scramble this week (Go Blue Jays), and after giving my thoughts about our Edmonton Oilers in my column on Saturday, let’s capitalize on the neighbourly doom permeating provincial borders… This will be a big test for Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy. Will he make the panic move…
The Calgary Flames are off to a brutal start this season, and the media in Canada isn't holding back. After the Flames recent 6-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, CBC analyst, and former NHL defenceman Kevin Bieksa called out the Flames for their lack of effort, and singled out forward Yegor Sharangovich. The 27-year-old Flames forward has posted one point in six games, and against the Golden Knights on Saturday, played 15:00 of ice-time, was a minus -1 rating, and didn't have a shot on goal....
The Ottawa Senators will have to navigate life without their captain for up to two months as Brady Tkachuk underwent surgery to repair a right thumb injury. Tkachuk left Monday’s 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators partway through the third period. While the team initially hoped surgery wouldn’t be required, a second opinion proved otherwise….
On October 17th in 2002, 21 year old Lethbridge College student Timmy Hurlburt flubbed an attempt to streak the Saddledome surface with five minutes remaining in a Boston Bruins/Calgary Flames matchup.

The real postseason push begins now as the team has a lot of unfinished business to complete. Here’s a quick look at the rest of their season and potential playoff matchups. Tuesday’s 4-1 victory over the struggling Calgary Flames sealed the Los Angeles Kings’ postseason bid, officially clinching a berth in this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. In true Kings fashion, it took a little extra longer than would’ve been comfortable, nearly coming down to the wire unlike years past when they h...
Game Preview The future of the Arizona Coyotes may be bleak, but that isn’t stopping the players from giving their all. The Desert Dogs are 3-1-0 on their current road trip after back-to-back overtime wins against the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers. Neither game was perfect, but they were solid wins against two of the top teams in the Western Conference. In both matchups, the Coyotes did a good job at scoring first, only to see their opponents come back and tie the game. ...
