Episode 215: Buyouts, Holdouts and PTOs

As the Flames open their 2019 training camp, we’re back to recap the busy summer for the Flames – and look ahead to training camp. We’ll discuss the Lucic trade, RFA signings, the odd summer for Michael Stone getting bought out, and then resigned, Andrew Mangiapane’s decision to hold out on a contract, and if we’ll get Matthew Tkachuk signed before the season starts.

Looking ahead to the Flames training camp, we talk about the players who are here, and some of the players on PTO (Professional Try-Out) contracts and if they have a chance to make the team – and if so, who’s spot will they take?

Episode 216: Tkachuk Comparables

The Flames training camp is almost over, and Matthew Tkachuk still isn't signed. We look at some recent RFA signings and discuss how those contracts might impact Tkachuk's contract, if the Dustin Byfuglien in Winnipeg means the Flames may have a trade partner for TJ Brodie, and recapping the last week of news and happenings from the team's training camp - including 15 players being reassigned to the AHL or junior leagues and 5 players being placed on waivers.

Episode 218: Not A Great Start To The 40th Season

The Flames lost their 10th season opener in a row - losing to the Avalanche in Denver to open the season, and then came home and beat the Vancouver Canucks in the home opener. We break down these games, talk about what we've seen (or not seen) from the team so far, answer a fan question and make predictions for this week's important road trip.

Episode 219: Is It Too Early To Worry?

The Flames struggled on their road trip this week, and their play hasn't looked anywhere near what it needs to be if they want to be the #1 team in the Western Conference again. Is it time to start worrying about the Calgary Flames, or is this just a slow start that they'll bounce back from?# Should the coaching staff start to shuffle the forward lines to get something going?

Dan and Matt debate these questions and more, as well as look ahead to the four games for the Flames this week, and if we think the team can rebound.

Episode 220: What A Difference A Week Can Make

What a difference a week can make! Aside from the LA Kings game, the Flames had a much better week this past week than they did the one before. The Flames started on time, and played well structured games for the most part. What does this week hold for the Flames? Which goalies will start which games? How will the Flames do in the Heritage Classic? We try to answer all these questions and more.

Episode 221: How Do The Flames Get Going?

After a really good week for the Flames last week, we saw the exact opposite this week. Dan and Matt discuss the Flames shaking up their forward lines and what impact that may have on the slumping group, if the Tobias Rieder waiver move and Alan Quine being recalled will have any effect on the team, and what (if any) kind of the trade the Flames could make to shake things up this early in the season.

Love listening to the podcast, but can someone work on evening out the volume? It was particularly noticeably quieter during the post-game interviews in this week's podcast, and so I have to adjust my volume between segments so I can hear everything that is said, and then not blow out my speakers/headphones aftewards.

Otherwise keep up the good work.

Episode 222: A Solid Road Trip


As the Calgary Flames return home from the longest road trip of the season, it looks like the team is starting to turn their game around. We break down what went well (and what didn't) on the road trip, and how the team's game improved, and look ahead to the Flames schedule for November and what we can expect for this month of games.


A fan tweeted us and asked if we'd trade Johnny Gaudreau for Taylor Hall, and we spend time debating that trade and if it's something we'd do.


Next episode we'll be starting a new segment, checking in with our Stockton Heat reporter "Stockton's Finest" Jeff Gregory. If you'd like to ask him a question you can email us, Tweet us, or ask on Facebook.

Episode 223: Catching Up With The Stockton Heat

The Flames are second in the Pacific Division, and starting to get their game together. We look at the changes to the Defence pairings that we saw this week, if Michael Frolik’s time as a Flames is over after two healthy scratches, and if 5 days off this week will help or hurt the Flames.

This week’s episode is longer than usual, as we spend over an hour talking with our new Stockton Heat correspondent to catch up on all the happenings with the AHL affiliate.

This was a really good episode with some insights into various players on the Stockton Heat. I highly recommend it for all CPers who want to know about the Flames prospects. Some different perspectives into Gilles, Parsons, the two Russian D (Yelesin and Valiev).
Looking forward to seeing this as a regular segment.

One editing thing is to fix the timing so that the two speakers aren't talking over one another following by 3-5 second pauses. I think it's due to a transmission delay in Skype?

Fireside 228: The End of the Win Streak

The Flames 7 game win streak came to an end against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, and we discuss Flames position in the Pacific Division and how the win streak impacts our standings. The Flames lineup has been working well lately, but how will it be affected by Austin Czarnik and Sam Bennett set to return soon? Who will have to be taken out of the lineup?


We look back at the James Neal/Milan Lucic trade to see which team is winning the trade so far, and what impact the Taylor Hall deal will have on the Flames and the Pacific Division.

Episode 229: Wrapping Up 2019


As 2019 comes to a close, we look at the first half of the Calgary Flames season and why things haven't gone to plan thus far. Dan and Matt made predictions at the beginning of the season, and the guys check-in to see how their predictions look so far. What's the best that the Flames can realistically expect to do this season, keeping the first half in mind? We answer this and look ahead to 2020.

Episode 230: Time To Trade Gaudreau?

If the Flames don't make the playoffs, is it finally time to trade Johnny Gaudreau? We discuss what the Flames might get back to make the deal attractive and if the Flames can upgrade the holes in their lineup through other means. Would Kyle Turris fit as a cheap acquisition for the Flames at the Trade Deadline?


The Flames have played 5 games since we talked last, and the 'win one, lose won' mode that the Flames are in. How can they get out of this, and can they realistically still expect to make the playoffs, much less win a round?

Episode 321: #1 In The Pacific Division!


The Flames suffer their first loss of 2020 this week to end off an otherwise very good week, which propelled them to the #1 spot in the Pacific Division. Can the Flames keep this momentum up going into their week-long break? How about after the break?


With Cam Talbot having three very good starts in a row, we discuss how the Flames should split the workload for their goalies for the rest of the season, and our thoughts on the Rasmus Andersson contract.

Episode 232: UFAs – Keep ‘Em Or Trade ‘Em?


With the Flames still locked in a bitter battle for a playoff spot in the Pacific Division, should the team stand pat at the Trade Deadline, or move all of their expiring contracts, and hope for the best in the post-season? The guys answer this question and discuss if keeping Brodie, Hamonic and Cam Talbot for a (likely) protracted playoff run is really worth missing out on the trade value.


Gerard Gallant and Peter Laviolette are both experienced NHL coaches who find themselves without a job. The guys mull over if hiring either one of these guys now is a good idea, or if the Flames should wait until the summer to assess their options.

Episode 233: The Alberta Beef

The Flames are back in action after their bye week and had two big games over the Oilers, and discuss how the Flames went from good to terrible against the Oilers in a 72-hour stretch. Why the inconsistency this season, and can it be remedied, or is the issues the players in the room?


The guys discuss if it's time to look at Tkachuk and Lindholm as their top two instead of Monahan and Gaudreau - and if so, does it make it easier to trade Monahan or Gaudreau? Of course, we need to talk trades prior to the Trade Deadline, and is it time to move on from TJ Brodie to fill the gaps on the forward ranks? How about Mikael Backlund?

"Stockton's Finest" Jeff Gregory will be in Calgary on February 6. He'll be at Bottlescrew Bill's before and after the game (starting at 5pm) and would love to meet all our passionate Fireside Chat fans. Dan and Matt will be there as well to hang out with our listeners.

Episode 234: The Buddy Robinson Hokey Pokey

The guys look at the season so far broken into seven-game series, and the Flames have faired so far while wondering if the Flames can ride their big win over the Canucks into the California road trip. With Hamonic and Giordano out, how does the Flames strategy change coming up to the Trade Deadline, and do they need to make a big move to bring in a blueliner?

Great episode! But why isn't 88 a top 6 on a playoff team?

He's been one of the more consistent threats in our top 6 this year
