We’re getting close to 1/5th through the season. I feel like it’s flown by. But the Calgary Flames are now 15 games into their season. There have been players who have been impressing and who are starting their season much better than their start last season. And others… not so much. But here, we have the best five players through 15 games of the season.
It is the universal sign of acceptance in any hockey locker-room — the chirp.
And the Calgary Flames certainly want Jaromir Jagr to feel welcome, so not even the highest-scoring right-winger in NHL history is exempt from this friendly fire.
“I feel like more and more guys are taking cracks at him,” said backup goaltender and chatterbox Eddie Lack with a grin. “I usually take one a day, at least.
“I don’t really have a filter, so I just try to be myself around everyone. I mean, obviously (Jagr) has done such a tremendous amount for the sport. But once you get in this room, I just feel like he is one of the guys.”
Smith has looked super-human for much of this season, but the Flames puck-stopping stalwart has been shelled for nine goals over his past two starts. All his fault? Surely not, but the 35-year-old Smith could be due for one of those bounce-back, you-can’t-beat-me sort of performances. At the other end will be Mrazek, marking the fifth time in a six-game stretch that the Flames have been firing at a backup goalie.

I think Brodie is more deserving of being in the top 5 than Hamilton at this point.
