Putting Calgary Flames prospect Aydar Suniev’s freshman year into context

On Friday, the University of Massachusetts were eliminated from the Hockey East conference playoff tournament by the powerhouse Boston College squad. Now, UMass may qualify for the NCAA’s national championship tournament as an at-large team, but as we wait to learn their fate it’s a good time to evaluate the freshman season of Calgary Flames prospect Aydar Suniev.


Flames, Sabres meet as playoff hopes almost extinguished

Both the host Calgary Flames and the Buffalo Sabres are riding two-game losing skids but also clinging to the faintest of playoff hopes as they meet Sunday night.

The Sabres (33-33-5, 71 points) sit seven points behind the Detroit Red Wings for the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot, and have been all but done in by their five-game road swing that ends against the Flames. Buffalo opened the trip with a 4-1 loss to the Red Wings and has dropped three of four on the trek.

What will the Calgary Flames blueline group look like in 2024-25?

The Calgary Flames went through some changes over the 2023-24 season, with three opening night defencemen being traded during the campaign and the Flames are regularly dressing a lineup featuring just two holdovers from opening night. As the this season winds down, let’s start looking at the future.
What will the Flames’ blueline look like in 2024-25? Let’s go through the players that are likely to return to the team next season and see how they could fit in.

There's another game today already?? doh

[keenan87]

Big 2 points on the line here. Both teams battling for a better draft pick. Will we see both teams with empty nets throughout the game?!

[Scroopy Noopers]

I’m a big fan of Levi so I hope he starts tonight. I’m not going to watch a whole Buffalo game if they aren’t playing Calgary. At this point of the year I almost find myself wanting him to play lights out… but I still can’t…

Go Flames Go!

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

[Flamesfan05]

Critical game for top 8 pick

[Strange Brew]

If you were ever to cheer for a Flames loss, this would be the game I suppose.

[Sylvanfan]

This should be a good uniform matchup. I do like that classic Sabres kit with the Blue and gold. The Flames classic home and road both look good to me. So that will be something to enjoy.

I expect Buffalo to respond after a disastrous third in their last game. If they win tonight, I don't think the Flames will be climbing back over them this season in the standings.

Playoff hopes are 'almost' extinguished?

I thought those were dead and buried a while back.

Why not? There isnt anything left to lose. An opportune moment to see what you've got.

Can we do....the 5 D-man powerplay? It cant possibly be worse than what we've got going on now.

Or sign Savard to some sort of emergency contract, slap a helmet and some skates on him and get him out there.

Enjoy no playoffs for years to come.

Thanks Brad for destroying the franchise you jackass.

Was talking about the league setup for playoffs with a buddy yesterday and how they could incentivize points in the last 20 games or so when a third of the teams know they aren’t making the playoffs and their games become meaningless.

Maybe a second tourney for the first overall pick would encourage teams to remain competitive rather than a race for the bottom.

The Flames have a lot of young defenders in the system but I think they are going to have to bring in a vet to help bring the gap until they are ready.

Weegar and Anderson being the remaining vets. I think Kylington and Pachal are ready for a regular shift. Seems like they like Miromianov as well. After that there’s a ledge.

Trust the “process.”

Again and again. We should have fired him 4-5 years ago.

Maybe his dad was giving Edwards huge Boston Pizza Discounts to keep his boy around?

[Flamesfan05]

The true crime was to allow him to continue to destroy the franchise with the Huberdeau and Kadri/Monahan signings
