Digging into the sparse trade history between the similar Flames and Flyers franchises
The Calgary Flames and Philadelphia Flyers share plenty of similarities on and off the ice.
Both teams won their last championship many decades ago, back when the National Hockey League had far fewer teams than it does now. They’ve also long been overshadowed by their closest geographical rivals. The Flames and Flyers can only dream of being as blessed with generational talents as the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins have been over the last 40-odd years. Calgary and Philly are the better cities, but Edmonton and Pittsburgh have always had better luck.
Beyond the Boxscore: Wolf steals victory after Sharks give Flames trouble
The Calgary Flames came off the break flat-footed and struggling to generate 5v5 offence against the San Jose Sharks – despite the struggles the Flames prevailed 3-2 in regulation.
It was not a well-paced game for Calgary – the seemed to lose momentum as the game got later. Their 1-2-2 trap in the neutral zone would work if the Flames had the speed and puck skill to capitalize on turnovers in transition, but that just has not been there all season.
Flames Sunday Census: How many trades will Calgary make before the trade deadline
The Calgary Flames are back in action after the 4 Nations break. The Flames are currently one spot out of the second and final wild card spot, yet have gone 4–5–1 in their last 10 games played. The NHL trade deadline is March 7, and the Flames need to determine whether they will be making any deals. Whether those deals will be to help them add to their roster for a playoff push, or if they will be more focused on selling assets is to be determined.
