Flames Falter: Calgary 1 – Vancouver 4

Ro — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:25:57 +0000

Calgary continues their torrid pace to the bottom of the league, which at this point means a first round draft pick (they they’ll no doubt squander on some unknown college kid). Playing Vancouver for the second time in 3 games was much of the same. Calgary dominating despite playing half their AHL club, and Vancouver [...]

Flames Trade Deadline Musings

Rational Thinker — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:50:34 +0000

So, another trade deadline has come and gone and Flames fans are left licking there scars. Granted we did trade Iggy for a 1st, J-Bo for a potential 1st and got Blake Comeau off of the books (a win in any case) but why does this trade deadline feel so….incomplete? Whatever way you look at [...]

Ro — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:32:53 +0000

It sounds like the same headline from the Iginla trade from what seems like ages ago. Jay Boumeester, and his 6.68 million dollar price tag, is headed to St Louis is exchange for a career minor league defenceman (some will say he’s a ‘prospect’), St Louis conditional 1st round 2013 pick, and an average Swiss [...]

Flames Trade Icon for Bag of Hockey Pucks

Ro — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:59:10 +0000

Jarome Iginla Dealt to Penguins The whole country seemed to stop, or in the least too notice. Local hockey fans young and old, seasoned or bandwagoners, were stunned. With the Calgary Flames slipping out of playoff contention yet again, it became apparent was a ‘rebuild’ was the reluctant direction. The Calgary Flames traded their captain [...]

Still Lame on the Road: Calgary 3 – Nashville 5

Ro — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:54:24 +0000

Calgary had all the opportunities to win this game but defensive breakdowns and a complete lack of offence meant yet another road loss. Double Standards: Protect the Goalies Most fans will be lambasting the referees for their shoddy calls all game. True enough, the refs were abysmal, in one simple area–protecting the goalies. The referees [...]

Flames Post Two in a Row: Glencross with HatTrick

Ro — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 04:42:26 +0000

The Calgary Flames capitalized on a shaky Pekka Rinne and a tired Nashville Predator lineup by potting 6 goals en route to a 6-3 victory and their second win in a row. The Flames currently sit near the bottom of the Western Conference and fans are starting to jump on the ‘blow it all up’ [...]

Two In a Row: Calgary 4 – San Jose 1

Ro — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 06:28:46 +0000

Maybe they took advantage of a tired team playing their second game is as many nights. Maybe they have just the right mix to start winning games. Whatever the cause, Calgary appears to be an improved team with the meagre tinkering that’s gone on in the past few days. Added to the mix, Miikka Kiprusoff’s [...]

Pathetic Flames Squander Four Goal Lead

Ro — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:46:53 +0000

Season over? It seems every 3rd post-game report by FlamesForum contains ‘pathetic Flames’. Well, they certainly are. Given chance after chance to make hay and move ahead in the rankings, they squander it due to lazy play and atrocious defensive zone coverage. Continuously a step behind the top line, TJ Brodie, and crappy rebound control, [...]
