Episode 63: Healthy For The Road Trip
On this week’s episode we recap last week’s games including Bob Harley’s 400th NHL win. With Mason Raymond and Joe Colborne returning to the lineup what does that mean for the young call-up forwards? Now that Josh Jooris has been told to find a place to live, he needs a permanent jersey number – but we only have 2 left. Will the Flames make any trades before their self imposed roster freeze on Friday? And we break down the Oilers press conference.

The Ups And Downs

Episode 67: Goodbye McGrattan
This week has created a lot of questions for the Flames. Does Joni Ortio’s great play against the Canucks make Karri Ramo expendable? Does Brian McGrattan’s demotion to Adirondack mean he’s played his last game in a Flaming C? Plus we’ll discuss GM Brad Treliving’s mid-season comments and we’ll look ahead to next week’s games.

Episode 68: In Joni We Trust
One year away from the bench clearing brawl against the Canucks last year, and the Flames are flying high. Joni Ortio made his season debut and kept winning to lead the team to four important wins on the road over the last week, and we look ahead to the Anaheim game this week, and if the Flames can break "The Honda Center Curse". All this and more news from a busy week of Flames hockey.

A quiet week for the Flames with only two games played gives us a chance to discuss the current NHL All-Star format, and some ideas we have to change the format and make it more important and relevant. We discuss the callups of David Wolf, Tyler Wotherspoon and Sven Baertschi and what we can expect from each of those players. Dan and Matt break down 4 potential NCAA and KHL free-agent Defencemen they think the Flames should target in the off-season.

Episode 72: Bruin Slayers
It’s been a week of highs and lows for Flames fans. Former Flame Steve Montador passed away this weekend at age 35, and then the Calgary Flames earned a thrilling overtime victory over the Boston Bruins which saw Johnny Gaudreau relegated to the fourth line in the third period. We’ll also look at the recent successes and struggles of Ramo and Hiller and dive into some preliminary trade deadline rumours as we’re less than 2 weeks from the trade deadline.
