News Roundup

Game Preview: Calgary Flames @ Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins and Flames last met on Oct. 22 in Calgary. The Pens led with one minute left in regulation but ended up losing in a shootout.

The Calgary Flames need to extend Dustin Wolf and Connor Zary to long-term contracts

There has been a lot more to talk about this season then maybe a lot of us thought there would be. It is just past American Thanksgiving and the Calgary Flames currently sit in a divisional playoff spot, somewhere we never imagined the Flames would be at this point in the season.

Three takeaways as Flames fall in fight-filled contest in Columbus

The Calgary Flames’ head coach expected that a few of his guys, specifically those who skated alongside the late Johnny Gaudreau, might have some struggles in what was always going to be an emotional affair Friday afternoon at Nationwide Arena.
But when Huska was asked about the overall effort from his squad in a 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets in Columbus, he was blunt.

Hopefully they switch the lines (top 6) otherwise they’ll quit again after 10 minutes, fall behind the play, take penalties and what we’ve seen since the end of the Minnesota game will carry on.

I hate that definition of insanity saying but damn it applies here.

Lack of chemistry is frustrating the players IMO who either quit on the play or try to do everything on their own.

If we do not take any penalties we may be able to win this game in shoot out.


Finger crossed!

This is actually an important game regarding their playoff standing.

If the Flames fail to win, and Edmonton wins, the Flames are no longer in a playoff spot based on winning percentage.

Playoffs? You're talkin' about playoffs?

This team ain't making the playoffs. It is not built to make the playoffs. Right now we're playing with House Money, but the ground was always coming at us fast.

Hopefully at least a better effort today. A better result would be a nice way to head into the big JG game on Tuesday. But if the result is the same, that's okay too in the grand scheme of things.

You were wise.

The trip has been equally as painful as the winning streak was fun.

Like I said. This team isn't making the playoffs. It was never supposed to.

What do I want out of the 2024/25 Calgary Flames?

Pure. Hell.

Just sheer unadulterated, maximum chaos.

Will they win? Will they lose? I dont care. I want it to be fun and I want every single team in the League to think:

"Awww...fata...Calgary is in town again...who knows whats going to happen..."

Thats what I want. Fear.

Thats all. Maximum effort and pure terror. Calgary is in Town...now what? What is going to happen this time? Nobody knows. And thats the adventure.

Calgary has often put in maximum effort, but they have never instilled fear or terror in anyone.

Costco is hurt and won't be playing, so a shootout win isn't even an option.

Not to nitpick, but isn't Wolf at a .918 SPCT, not a .921? Miniscule, I know.

Penguins wouldn't stand a chance against a Wolf. Or a Sith Lord for that matter.

Or...if we're being honest, Zookeepers in Calgary...
