News Roundup


NHL Game Preview: Calgary Flames at Edmonton Oilers

Calgary will try to break through in the upcoming NHL season as it battles for a playoff spot. The Flames barely missed the playoffs a season ago and will be a hungry group this season.

Flames will open season with two teens, but without two key veterans

There are two teenagers on the Calgary Flames’ opening roster, although it’s possible only one will be in the lineup for Wednesday’s curtain-raiser against the arch-rival Edmonton Oilers.

With a pair of veteran forwards unavailable due to injury, 19-year-old winger Matvei Gridin is poised to log his NHL debut at Rogers Place.

Zayne Parekh has earned a Calgary Flames roster spot — now what?

Managing Zayne Parekh’s minutes will be one of the most important challenges the Calgary Flames face this season.
Article content

Long-term, the team sees him as one of their “elite” players, in the words of head coach Ryan Huska. They just need to help him get there.

10 Flames predictions for the 2025-26 season

Making predictions about the Calgary Flames is not an easy task.
When you think they’re going to struggle, they succeed. When you think they’re going to succeed, they struggle. I don’t know what it is about this organization but they are difficult to get a read on.
This season is no different. The range out outcomes for this team is vast to say the least.

Can Dustin Wolf avoid the sophomore slump?

Former Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving often quipped that the game of hockey should simply be called “goaltending” because of how crucial that position is to having success. After all: if you have goaltending, you have a lot. But if you don’t have goaltending, you don’t have much.

Blake Coleman is looking to continue his strong play as a Calgary Flame

There are a lot of unanswered questions when it comes to the Calgary Flames heading into the 2025-26 season. Where are the goals going to come from? Who is the long term backup goalie behind Dustin Wolf? What is going to happen to Rasmus Andersson? There is a lot going on around this team.
But if you’re looking for some consistently. If you’re looking for predictability. Look no further than Blake Coleman.

NHL power rankings: Golden Knights, Oilers, Lightning top Stanley Cup contenders entering season

We are just one day away from the start of the NHL regular season, which means it’s time for the Daily Faceoff power rankings to return. Another fun year of arguments and petty insults awaits us, and that’s before we even start reading the comments!

While the second spot for these rankings has seen as frequent of a rotation as the second seat next to Max Verstappen with Red Bull, do not fret: Hunter Crowther will be my regular partner for the 2025-26 season. However, he was unavailable for the preseason rankings, so my former power rankings sparring mate in Mike Gould will be filling in for this week.

Don't care about how many we win or lose as long as the youngsters are getting opportunity. Oh, and never let Edmonton win.

New season...new skills!

That Darn Puppet figures that it's time for a little self-improvement and signs up for a first aid class. Will his enthusiasm - and an old acquaintance - get him into trouble? Let's hope so:


Spoiler!




Go Flames

It would please me if the Flames ruin the Oilers home opener tonight with a demoralizing ass kicking, but being realistic I will accept a tight 1 goal win.

Flames should be able to hammer the crap out of the Oilers second line. Mang, the tenderness and Savoie. Can you say soft??

Where is the Playoff Snake? We're two points behind Colorado and a game in hand on LA and Chicago
