Calgary Flames at Nashville Predators 6pm TV: SNW, FDSO - RADIO SN960
Previous Game
News Roundup
Calgary Flames Prospect Roundup: Misa, Mews light up OHL
Brampton Steelheads forward Luke Misa continues to excel playing with sensation Porter Martone and Carson Rehkopf, who scored 52 goals and 95 points for the Kitchener Rangers last season. Misa continues his hot hand, coming off five points last week.
Flames Takeaways: Troubling streaks piling up
One, as they say, is the loneliest number.
With just one regulation win on the road this season, the Calgary Flames have got to be feeling awfully lonely, frustrated and desperate away from the Dome these days.
A trip to Dallas Sunday did little to boost morale, as the Flames managed to let a 2-2 tie after two periods turn into a 6-2 drubbing.
For those keeping track at home, that’s eight straight road losses, dating back over a month. That's not even the scariest streak they've got going.
FlamesNation Mailbag: Waking up below the cutline
For the past five weeks, the Calgary Flames have woken up every day and been able to say one thing: they were in a playoff spot. After Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Stars, the Flames have slid below the Western Conference cutline and are, for the first time since Oct. 30, on the outside looking in.
Depending on your perspective this can be good or bad, but it’s simply reality right now.
What would Team Alberta look like at the 4 Nations Face-Off?
The rosters for the four national teams were announced last week. But if you’ve followed Canadian history at all, you’ve probably noticed that Alberta marches to the beat of its own drum. So what would happen if Alberta decided to send its own team to this type of event?

Games in Nashville are always chaos. This will be no different.

Hope we see Wolf again. That was a rough outing for him last game, would be good to get back on track.

Mixed feelings. Want to see Wolf bounce back but we need to showcase Vladar too.

The Flames currently suck. However the Preds also currently suck.
So...if nothing else this should at least be hilarious.
Like a fight at an Elementary School during recess.

The Flames have a stark contrast between home(10-3-1) and away (3-7-4) games.

Nashville is awful. Lowest scoring team in the league.
A team that did well last year because of a long point streak. So Trotz went out and made them older, slower and much more expensive.
THankfully Conroy went the other direction.
If I am the Nashville ownership, I punt Trotz. This mess is going to take a lot of work to fix.

With the way this league goes I would not be surprised to see Nashville draft elite talent with a lottery pick this year (they also have 2 additional first rounders) and bounce back entirely next year with solid goaltending and a few tweaks.
Punting Trotz is nonsensical for the franchise given he's proceeding based on what ownership wants - retooling while competing. We all know how that goes here, but at least he's pulling in the picks that enable you to actually draft talent.

Did Lomberg's baby arrive and did they tell him to stay home because there was only one other game on the road trip?

I can't cheer for this team to win anymore. Can't do it. The best thing that can happen with this team is they have a couple of bottom 5 finishes, draft the centre pieces they need, and get rid of the second worst coach this franchise has ever seen.

He's not a good coach but I'm happy he's here now instead of later when there is more talent on the team and in the pipeline. Silver lining I suppose.
