Flames host Capitals in matchup of retooled playoff contenders
"It's incredible to watch young players grow," coach Spencer Carbery said. "(Ivan Miroshnichenko) -- in English -- is yelling things to players on the ice. You see it as a coach, and you're just smiling because you can feel the investment, and how bad they want to win, how they want to do the right things."

Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman are the pillars of the Calgary Flames right now
There has been a lot of ups and downs over the last couple seasons for the Calgary Flames. A divide between the roster and head coach. A general manager leaving behind a mess. Rumoured trade requests from veteran players. Hiring of a new coach and general manager. Trades. It’s been absolutely insane for the players inside that dressing room.
However, there has been one thing that has been constant. And that’s the play of Mikael Backlund and Blake Coleman. These two veteran players give the fans in this city everything they have year in, year out.
