It's come down to this, boys: the Dallas Stars are our last hope to keep the disgusting, whiny, greasy, no good Edmonton Oilers from the Stanley Cup Finals.

Hey, buddies. Today we're spending some time basking in the glory of the Oilers drama and hoping our old pals Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm can continue to turn the heat up up the QE2. Game four goes tonight and we're crossing our fingers for another Edmonton loss.

Today we're giving the final word on the 2023-24 season by handing out grades to the coaching staff, GM, and players.

The boys cleaned out their lockers and headed their separate ways for the summer this past weekend as the Flames missed the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 2014. We're breaking down comments from Mack Weegar, Blake Coleman, and others but really focusing on Craig Conroy's exit interview and his suggestion that the Flames will follow the 'Dallas Model' Go Flames Go Hosted on...

The end is nigh. Andrei Kuzmenko and Nazem Kadri are giving us some entertaining hockey BUT boy...I think we are ready for the draft and off-season. Today we're just breaking down some various topics in Flames land and digging into what's next for Conroy and this re-tool or retool or whatever it's being called. Quick programming note: this episode was recorded prior to the Arizona Coyotes game. Go...

We're breaking down another week in the loss column for the Flames as the boys suffered setbacks at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks, Winnipeg Jets and the greasy, no good, neckbearded Edmonton Oilers. It's all in service of the tank though, boys. On the agenda today: Our frustrations with the Connor Zary scratch and the lack of playing time for both Matt Coronato and Dustin Wolf Trying to figure ou...

Andrei Kuzmenko put on a show this as the Flames new look line combos seem to have sparked some chemistry between Kuzmenko, Marty Pospisil, & Nazem Kadri this week. Today we're breaking down where the Flames are at heading into the tank...errrr...stretch drive. On today's agenda: How Kuzy could be a very valuable piece for this team moving forward Breaking down what we've seen from the new lin...

Alright, boys. There's not a ton going on in Flames land these days. The season is pretty much over for all intents and purposes...so today we're breaking down what we'd like to see down the mostly meaningless stretch drive. We wanna see Matt Coronato, as much of Dustin Wolf as humanly possible, and how Ryan Huska is (or isn't) setting the table for next season. Plus, we're looking at the future o...

The Flames continued their streaky ways with wins over the Vegas Golden Knights and Montreal Canadiens after getting embarrassed by the Avalanche and Hurricanes last week. Dustin Wolf made his triumphant return starting and winning both matches (and making it look pretty easy). Today we're breaking down Wolf's impressive performances and focusing on the leadership of Mikael Backlund, Blake Coleman...

In his first year on the job, Craig Conroy stuck to his word and moved out five pending UFAs. Call it a rebuild, call it a retool, call it rekindle, call it a re-anything you want: Craig has the team moving in a new direction. Today, we're breaking down the cultural shift in Calgary, how the team can mould a new identity, and discussing the aftermath of the Noah Hanifin trade and the Jacob Markstr...

Our hero Miikka Kiprusoff was immortalized with number 34 going to the rafters of the Dome rightfully alongside Jarome Iginla, Mike Vernon, and Lanny McDonald. The Flames looked like they were going to lay an egg on Kipper's night but Nazem Kadri, Yegor Sharangovich, and Blake Coleman had other ideas as the Flames stormed back with an epic third-period comeback to beat the Penguins. Today we're re...

We asked Craig Conroy to sell, sell, sell and boy...did he deliver! The Flames and Vancouver Canucks came together on a blockbuster deal that saw the good guys in red acquire Andrei Kuzmenko (the Kuzmeister), Hunter Brzustewicz, Joni Jurmo, a first-round draft pick, and a conditional fourth-round draft pick in exchange for Elias Lindholm. We're breaking down the mega deal and pondering what comes...

After an impressive stretch to start the New Year, The Flames reminded all of us why the fire sale should (and hopefully will) be on. Don Maloney claimed the All-Star break would be a key inflection point moving forward...so will it be? At the break, the Flames sit in the bottom third in the league with all signs pointing to them being a bottom feeder. Time to sell. Elias Lindholm? Sell. Chris Tan...

Following the debacle against the Blackhawks the Flames are sucking us right back in with a strong stretch of hockey that saw them win four in a row (before getting hosed by a TERRIBLE 'hand pass' call). Yegor and Coleman are HOT, Huberdeau is playing some good hockey, and the Flames are actually fun to watch...do they have a chance to push for the playoffs? Today we're breaking down the last week...

The Flames just completed a very 'Flamesy' stretch going 4-4 over their last eight games. Apparently, this means the Noah Hanifin extension talks are back on. Today we're looking at a stretch that featured beating Nashville & Minnesota but losing to Philly & THE MOTHERF***ING Chicago Blackhawks AHL team (again!!!) and talking about the pros and cons of resigning Hanifin. Go Flames Go. Lear...

The Flames are playing some good hockey mostly on the backs of Marty Pospisil and Connor Zary (even Jonathan Huberdeau is showing signs of life) but where does that leave them moving forward?
