Solid road effort. Not much to nitpick outside of maybe the powerplay. For whatever reason they play a better team game on the road.

[ForeverFlameFan]

At this rate Mangiapane is going to get 4x his current salary.

[Ferarri]

Happy with the two points but just can’t get excited with this team. Play with that type of effort against Boston and Tampa and it’s game over

[TheScorpion]

Before any of you guys take this win for granted just remember the Leafs, who have the exact same number of points as the Flames, just lost last night to an AHL Zamboni driver LOL

[AustinL_NHL]

Great 40 minutes and overall definitely outplayed the Wings, but to allow a historically bad NHL team to fight their way back in the third and have a chance just cannot happen when you're fighting for a Playoff spot and trying to show management you deserve additions if anything at the deadline the night before

[ComixZone]

NHL refs are something else.

Uneventful evening, and just a simple road win.

[WhiteTiger]

Give me one good reason Yanet should show up.

Because her 'turn' is amazingly consistent, something the Flames need to learn to be.

[Toonage]

That was a team playing not to lose after a hot start. I get it though. A win is a win right now. Doesn't matter if Detroit is bad. They're still trying.

Jump three spots with one win.

This playoff race is not good for my health.

[soulchoice]

Good to see the Flames win this one. I must say, being I chose to watch the Detroit feed, I truly like the Wings broadcast team. Not only was it great to listen to, although I still think Ball is better so I missed his play calling; But they were very well informed about the Flames and not homers. Whenever Hrudey isnt available, I always try and watch the other teams feed, didn’t regret it at all.

Plus their post game and mid analysis is wonderful. No home town hockey is a bonus.

I still don’t want the flames to do anything other than a hockey deal though. No draft picks unless it’s later rounds. They are still a bubble team in my opinion.

A win is a win, and I will take it any day. Back in the race. They have to stay ahead of Nashville, Minnesota and Winnipeg. Arizona looks like they are flailing away.



Don't think this win (or even if they lost tonight) will have much effect on what Treliving decides to do in the next 18 hours or so anyway, so glad they got the win.

[minnow]

Well, every team needs some good luck to help with a win at least once in a while. Good thing the Flames had some tonight.

[Lil Pedro]

Powerplay was god awful tonight. Matthew Tkachuk looks completely lost now, which is concerning. Thought Monahan, Johnny, Mangi and Hanifin had quality games. Good bounce back game from BSD too.

The GM should make everyone live in Edmonton or Kelowna or something and fly into Calgary for all the "home" games. Maybe they will play better that way.

The home struggles are a phase. The Flames were nearly unbeatable at the Saddledome in October—December, and hopefully they figure out how to play on home ice sooner than later, but they will get there.

Boom, nailed the score in the GDT. Hooray for me ;)

Two points is two points, whether you’re playing the best team in the league or the worst.

Really liking Yelesin’s game. Seems to be settling in and isn’t afraid to use his physicality. I know Gio is getting close to being healthy, so I’d like to see him get a chance to stay in the lineup in favour of Stone...

[midniteowl]

Perhaps this is part of The Plan: to be the lowest-ranked team in the playoffs, thereby securing road ice advantage.

[GranteedEV]

I think less than linematching it's more about Forward/D combos. On the road they're more mix and match whereas at home Gully/Ward have tended to go all in on some lines and then ""shelter"" other lines when that doean't quite work.

Worst team in the league etc. But I thought they put together a pretty complete effort.

Good to see a regulation win that didnt require 6 goals. So that's a step in my mind.

Mighty impressed with Yelesin tonight. Kylington and Hanifin with good games too.

Top line scored a couple 5v5. Another good step in the right direction.


Now onto the circus of D day tomorrow!!

Game Takes:

Flames 4 Wings 2 (https://www.calgarypuck.com/2020/02/game-takes-flames-4-wings-2/)

- Flames jump on the Wings early but then sag
- Andrew Mangiapane saves the night with back to back goals
- good bounce back game for David Rittich

[Savvy27]

Pretty good game by the Flames overall. We all know that 2 goal leads going into the third period are precarious and they managed to keep Detroit to the outside for the most part. Big credit to Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk who went out after Detroit's 2nd goal and hemmed the Red Wings in their zone for a minute or so.

Ridiculous that the Wings didn't get a high sticking penalty when Rittich's helmet was knocked near the end there. If that hits a players visor then chances are it would have been called, but it took the helmet right off. Great save by Rittich on that 2 on 1 in the third period. Nice to see him back in road form.

They didn't fall into the trap, now it's time to get a bit of revenge on the Bruins and take two points out of the Garden.

[bubbsy]

Game against a historically bad team... Needed 2 points.

Few things. Mangiapane has figured out how to be tenacious. He's a good player.

Hanafin looks WAY better without hamonic. Just like Brodie looks way better without hamonic.

Hamonic frigin stinks, do not want him anywhere on this team.

It is so clear.

It's concerning to me that the Flames have tried to trade Brodie and Hanifin this year, whilst also trying to extend Hamonic at the beginning of the season. If we read into that...it's bad news for us going forward.

[GranteedEV]

Just like Brodie looks way better without hamonic.

Brodie looks better without Hamonic but Stone is still all kinds of bad. Honestly think you could put Brodie with Kylington, or Davidson, or even Yelesin and get better results. Well maybe not Yelesin (just due to him being such an unknown still) but def the other two.

[djsFlames]

Yeah trying to trade Brodie for Barrie while simultaneously looking to extend Hamonic is a damn travesty if true.

I sincerely hope that isn't the GMs current read on those two respective players or his intention for the defense going forward.

[GioforPM]

Good to see the top line on for a couple, and Monahan with a goal and assist. Monahan’s goal was not that pretty and a little lucky, but you never know what will start a hot streak. And on Gaudreau’s goal they whipped it around pretty good for Johnny’s shot.

[GioforPM]

Yeah trying to trade Brodie for Barrie while simultaneously looking to extend Hamonic is a damn travesty if true.

I sincerely hope that isn't the GMs current read on those two respective players or his intention for the defense going forward.

A lot has to do with trade value, what you are getting back, as well as what you expect the extension to look like for either player. Also how you see Valimaki, Kylington, Hanifin and now maybe Yelesin going forward.

[Dajazz]

It is so clear.

It's concerning to me that the Flames have tried to trade Brodie and Hanifin this year, whilst also trying to extend Hamonic at the beginning of the season. If we read into that...it's bad news for us going forward.

To be fair, while I am no Hamonic fan boy, Hanifin missed the Defending 101 class. It’s like he was never taught the basics. His backward skating is bad for such a great skater, his positioning is mind blowing and he has no clue how to angle out an attacking forward. He points his skates to the puck and starts chasing... that’s why he always gets beat or ends up away from the play.

If anyone could fix this it’s Huska. Hopefully.

I will 100% agree that he has played much better without Hammer though, he needs to be paired with a two way player.

Hamonic is a 3rd line paring at best. Not re-singing him, and losing him for nothing would at least be addition by subtraction.

He just brings down the partner he's with.

The First Dominos
So. Mike Green and Andreas Athanasiou are healthy scratches tonight for precautionary reasons. WHELP. Guess we know what trades are in the works.
The team needs scoring
Trading one of the few players that can help in that dimension seems like a bad idea
1231734403086389250
I cant believe theyre about to trade our most talented player….in my opinion very much mismanaged this season by blas….for what?? better be a 1 round pick…. ..AA is the kind of player we should keep, young and very talented…..and get rid of the players that dont have any future in the team like daley,nielsen, abby, enh, glendening, green..I get the idea of trading…but not at all cost. really think we will be at the loosing end trading AA. if were lucky we will get someone as talented as him…so whats the point???
Realistically two players may be moved Green and Daley. AA I do not think will be moved along with Bernier. Outside of that Glendening and Helm will also not be moved unless we get a good dose of draft picks and or prospects. I wonder though if Calgary will do something with the Wings.
Blockbuster Green+AA to Edmonton For an autographed Connor McDavid hockey stick.
Hi everybody Was catching up on the other articles so late to this party. AA and Green huh? I was okay with no major trades, but now I’ll be hitting refresh on site frequently
Well if Mike Green is traded I hope it's to a team close to Detroit since he has a 3 month old baby at home. It’d really suck if he had to go to Edmonton, Calgary, or one of the west coast teams
The Daley News
What an amazing shot by Gaudreau!
Daley haha
Trevor Daley..........
Larkin with the hope pass in one end. Daley with a hope pass in the other
Good grief Goodreau. sigh
Eh, figures
Gaudreau was in prime scoring position there with lots of space
and had all day
Ladies and gentlemen, Trevor Daley.
This better not be one of those games
Bad pass, Daley
More like,
Bad pass, daily.
Can we trade Daley too? That was a pretty sweet giveaway if you’re a Flames’ fan.

Regardless, I don’t want to see him after tonight. There will be zero reason to play him.


Jeez Daley
That’s not how you get traded to a contender
Mony on the Spot
Why wait till the second to implode when you can it in the first 10 mins?
Good job Daley you piece of sh*t
Daley doing his best to make sure he doesn't get traded
Crap Cakes, that was unfortunate suddenly second period comes early
Woof! Wings must be having a baked sale Turnovers a-plenty
Wings showing really nice touch on their passes to the Flames.

when did we lose the ability to fight for loose pucks? you don’t have to have great talent to make the other team work for loose pucks.
League Laughingstock
Congrats to Ovechkin. Also lol Toronto. How embarrassing.
Now, I’m not sure if my math is completely correct, but I’m pretty sure the Wings have lost to checks notes 0 zamboni drivers this year. Guess we’re not the worst team in the league, after all!
I hope this meme lives forever
I see no problem. I love that a zamboni driver beat the Leafs. It’s a great story.
You guys think we will win a cup before Toronto? Its looking more and more plausible with every day to be honest. It would be insane if we some how managed to do that.
Yes. Yes I do.
Let's keep them counting. I think Marner, Matthew's, Nylander were all to selfish and they are going to never reach the cup because of it. It takes your Stamkos, Kucherov, Point, Crosby, MacKinnon, Pastrnak, etc of the world to decide they want to win and take a discount.
Friendly Fire
swear to god, there is an extremely excessive number of Red Wings being hit by their teammate's shots

I think Bertuzzi has been hit more than Detroit has had shots the past month
Dammit
Don’t be hurt too bad, Bert
Rising Bread
That was unfortunate bounce.

That is exactly how we should score.
2nd period gut punch
Crud! hate the late goal. tough break, bad bounce. bah humbug
Did I just watch Bowey...

…try to check Tkachuk, whiff, then let him through for a good scoring chance?
Wow, bowey did not touch him
Big Flop
#### .... my god is this team mentally slow.
Another second period letdown. Fluky goal and we’re giving up just as many chances as in the first. 2nd: 16-12 FF – CGY, 12-9 SOGs – CGY, 8-2 SCF – CGY, 6-2 HDCF – CGY. We need improvement in the 3rd. Let’s tie this game up, instead of letting it turn into 4-1, pulling our goalie then giving up an ENG making it 5-1. LGRW.
Tank Commander
Great loss.
Ugh. Another empty netter. Sigh…

The year is 2025, Alexis Lafreniere finishes the season leading the Detroit Red Wings in goals with 47, second in the league behind Alex Ovechkin’s 72. Captain Dylan Larkin just signed a team friendly deal, allowing cap space to sign free agent Connor McDavid. The Red Wings are heavy favorites to repeat as Stanley Cup champions, backed by Norris winning defenseman, Mo Seider and Vezina candidate David Ayres. Upon request by head coach Girard Gallant, the Little Caesar’s logo on top of LCA has been changed to a Red Wings logo like it was supposed to ####ing be all along and fans rejoice. It is quite a time for Detroit sports. The Wings are a lock for the repeat, the Lions have won the super bowl, the Tigers have won the World Series, and the Pistons won the basketball one. What a time to be alive.

Laying Down
The Wings are horrific.
this is about as easy as a win the Flamers will get all season

this is a gimme
Calgary's false sense of security will be off the charts tonight
The Wings are horrific.
Hell of a fight by the Red Wings, didn’t look like Calgary had much of an edge on them tbh

Those Oiler comments are funny considering they lost to the Wings

Watching that game reminded me of this classic moment (...just replace “British Bulldog” with “Calgary Flames”...)
