In the Dome: Calgary Flames Fan Podcast

Brad Treliving is, once again, assembling the Infinity Gauntlet of expensive, not very good, tough hockey players. He quickly gobbled up the free cap space by signing Erik Gudbranson, Mike Stone, and Brad Richardson this past week. We're here to break it down, complain, and wonder why the Flames continually do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. Enjoy, homies. In the D...

Alrighty. We were all ready to talk Matt Coronato, William Stromgren, Cole Huckins and so on but we were completely distracted by the old Twitter rumour machine. Today we react to the highly speculative rumours around our favourite player on earth, Matthew Tkachuk. We think the Flames should go Chucky's way yet it appears they favour the opposite. We get into it along with a quick review of the 20...

Brad Treliving likes himself a free agent frenzy. The Flames went full Darryl Sutter signing Blake Coleman, trading for Nikita Zadorov and Dan Vladar as well as snagging some depth skaters like Trevor Lewis. We react to the moves and break down if the Flames are better for it. Also, GIVE US JACK EICHEL. WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE USA TRIO IS UNITED. GIVE US EICHEL. Enjoy the pod, C of Red. Downloa...

Three wins in a row has the Flames maybe, just MAYBE, making the Habs feel the heat. They are without Brendan Gallagher, their goaltending situation is a bit precarious, and they have a much tougher schedule. Is there a chance the Flames can reel this hellish season in? We're breaking down the 3-2 overtime win against David Rittich and the Leafs and the 4-1 victory against those very same Habs. GO...

The Flames drop the rubber match to the Jets. Despite a decent effort the Flames let this one get out of control after some insane officiating (apparently booting the puck into the net is allowed now). They are walking dead right now and the playoffs are a distant memory. We're breaking down: Monahan and Ritchie dragging down Gaudreau Player utilization (using Jack Han's article " How to Ruin a Pl...

The Flames up and down season continued as they dropped a Friday night tilt to the Jets and bounced back with a win on Saturday. But most of the action was between the games as Darryl Sutter is stirring it up. Between calling out Johnny Gaudreau ahead of his milestone game and sitting Dillon Dube and Juuso Valimaki, it's the new coach isn't messing around. We'll try to sort out our feelings today....

The Flames escaped the centre of the hockey universe with two of four points. While Matthew Tkachuk managed to infuriate Leafs nation once again we're still left concerned with the team's play through the last three outings. Darryl Sutter is making some questionable lineup decisions while the team isn't executing in nearly the same fashion we saw against the Habs last week. Should we panic? We bre...
