News Roundup

Zayne Parekh appears to throw shade after Latvia upsets Canada at World Juniors

Parekh has 11 goals and 36 points in 28 games with the OHL’s Saginaw Spirit this season after being selected by the Flames with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. He’s a smooth-skating offensive defender who is widely regarded as one of the most talented players in Canadian junior hockey.

Flames player who must be traded soon


The Flames' front office is certainly in a tricky spot ahead of the March 7 NHL Trade Deadline. On one hand, the team has a plethora of assets that could be flipped for draft capital before then.

Revisiting Calgary Flames player projections at Christmas Break

Which players are playing better up to this point compared to how they were last year? Which ones are playing worse? With a break in the schedule, let’s take a look at the numbers

Hoping for the best but preparing to watch them get their heads caved in.

2 wins in 12 games in Vegas all time, shut out 4 times and out scored 47-25.

Its a house of horrors.

Then there is the fact Vladar is starting....and....yeah.

Go Flames Go though!!

Vladar + T-Mobile Arena = probable loss.

Yeah, looks like a scheduled loss. Hoping for the best though!

Huska in a tough spot. Could use some fresh legs but his choices are, well, limited. I expect the same lineup except for Vladar.

Yeah this is bad scheduling by the NHL IMO.

A back to back with a 7:00 local start in San Jose to a 5:00 local start in Vegas.

Will be a surprise if they win tonight because this has schedule loss written all over it

I dunno, feels like this team is really enjoying itself and playing for each other, I wouldn’t be shocked if they give Vegas a solid challenge tonight. Everyone had a good long break before the back to back and I think they’ll remember laying an egg in Vegas earlier in the season so they’ll have some added motivation. I like the flames play this December, they definitely are playing like a team that wants to make the playoffs, the jury is still out on that but if they play a great road game here and get the W things will start to get interesting.

Interested to see what happens in this one. I think the game in Vegas was the Flames worst game this year. Vegas pounded them. I don’t think that will happen again. We’ll see if they can beat them though.

Everything says guaranteed loss night, so I expect they'll come away with the W throw themselves back into the playoff picture!

They'd never be so careless if it were the oilers.

On the plus side with respect to the scheduling, if you're going to have a back-to-back on the road, with less than 24 hours in between, you want it to be after a break when the team is fully rested and feeling less banged up.

After a long break, and to start the season, teams like playing a lot, it gets them going.

It's the back-to-backs at the tail end of 7 games in 12 nights, at the end of a long road trip with lots of travel - those are the back-to-backs that kill.

That would be pure flames.

Followed up by a loss at home after 3 days of rest to a last place team
