Well it has been nothing short of a disappointing week for the Flames. The game against the Avalanche I thought they played decent… but come on guys decent doesn’t cut it in the NHL! Especially when you are battling for #1 in the Northwest division! A couple nice plays got the Flames ...
Postgame Avs-Flames
blogs.denverpost.com 11/18/2009 — Great win for the visiting lads tonight. Just when you think they’re going to slide away, they come up with a win like that against a real good team. Strong games by Wilson, Hannan, Stastny, Duchene, O’Reilly, Jones, Stewart, etc. Flames can’t be ...

I was so politely reminded that again I did not do a blog when the Flames won a hockey game. I really have a good topic on this blog So far, the Flames are 8 games above 500. Why?
I mean, I could go over the obvious reason, easily picking out the strongest players, but it’s not so ...
Flames-Sharks play a classic – Flames Win 2-1

The powerplay continues to struggle, which I really do not understand. The Flames were pretty solid again in the first period, as the they played pretty much the perfect road period. In fact, they could have easily led, but their powerplay was brutal. I see their main problem as trying to ...

"I thought I ran into my own guy because I knew I didn’t have the puck or wasn’t really near the puck," said Drury, who skated this morning for the first time since being concussed in Calgary on Nov. 7 by...

Thanks to a frenzied flurry in the third period and Jarome Iginla's hat trick, the Flames rolled over the Kings 5-2 on Saturday and leapfrogged the Avs for first-place in the Northwest.
