News Roundup

Pelletier takes advantage of first-line opportunity with Calgary Flames


Jakob Pelletier got bumped up to Calgary's No. 1 line on Thursday and immediately took full advantage.

The 24-year-old winger assisted on Nazem Kadri's tying goal and scored the winning goal to lead the Flames to a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

“He was one of the guys the first two periods that I felt had some energy when he was on the ice," said Flames coach Ryan Huska, who made the change early in the second period. "He was making things happen."

Flames Veteran Wants GM To Be a Trade Deadline Buyer — But Will Team Change Course?

Stanley Cup winner Nazem Kadri told The Hockey News he wanted the Calgary Flames to add trade deadline talent after franchise's surprising first half.

What the Flames should do at the NHL Trade Deadline

The Calgary Flames, a team that most pundits and predictors thought would be near fithe bottom of the NHL standings, are holding on to a playoff spot on Jan. 23 and sitting fourth in the Pacific Division. Forward Jonathan Huberdeau is having a bounce back year, and Dustin Wolf is having a rookie season to remember, posting a 16-7-2 record with a .917 save percentage.

Now that we’re past the midway point of the season, the question becomes: should the Flames stand pat, start to unload some assets, or add to their group at the trade deadline?

The Calgary Flames need to overhaul their bottom-six

I think the scoring issues wouldn’t be so big if two guys would get their scoring touch back at some point. Yegor Sharangovich and Andrei Kuzmenko have probably been the team’s two most disappointing players this season. Sharangovich has been non-existent on a night-to-night basis, disappearing when the team needs him most. Kuzmenko has been in Ryan Huska’s dog house this year as he has been in and out of the lineup. He did however break out of a scoring drought that dated all the way back to the second week of the season.

^Huh...I don't remember Joel Bouchard playing a single game for the Flames, let alone over 120.

If you see a player you don’t recognize in the pedestal jersey just assume you’ve repressed that memory. Aka Post Traumatic Young’s Era Disorder

Joel used to live down the street from me when I was a kid with his roommates Jarome Iginla and Todd Simpson. I mentioned that to Todd at a subway in Lake country a few years ago and he was blown away I knew that, then he went out to his car and got me a signed photo.

It's working.

Bad news Wild fans...the Flames are in town!

[Freddy]

I’m loving the good vibes around this team right now, so much better than the drama cooked up by media in other Canadian cities. These ads are killing neon this site though. Go Flames.

Go Flames Go!

[OldSam]

Is Johansson the player McBaby elbowed? Shame on you, McLoser. Go Flames!

[Goriders]

Tonight would be a massive win. Because it looks like St. Louis and the Canucks are set up to lose. Might create a big enough spread that it triggers them to start selling.

Ugh right back to Rooney b

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

[Scrambler]

Will be interesting to see, Wolf tonight Vladar tomorrow, or Vladar tonight, Wolf tomorrow. I think one strategy will be to go all out for a win tonight, take some of the pressure of the back half of the back to back. So Wolf tonight.

Maybe better after sitting out and watching even just the one game? Enough time for introspect to do better today? Time will tell I guess, it could be back to popcorn again tomorrow otherwise.
