The Calgary Flames have called defenseman Zayne Parekh ahead of the season's final five games. Parekh was drafted 9th overall in the 2024 draft. His offensive abilities along with defensive strengths have had Flames fans drooling. But it doesn't look like he will be slotting in until the Flames are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Is that the right decision or does Flames managem...

Even with the Flames defense resembling traffic cones, Wolf has looked fantastic and put up Calder Trophy worthy numbers. On the other side of things, you have Rasmus Andersson putting up franchise numbers with -33. Andersson has struggled all season long and there are a lot of factors that play into it. Could he be hurt? Is it his new defensive partner, Kevin Bahl? Support Us By Supporting Our Sp...

The Calgary Flames have won two playoff series in the last 15 years. Is that what you want in a team? What are the Calgary Flames trying to accomplish with the "win and get in" approach? Will it take something like trading Rasmus Andersson or Nazem Kadri to open their eyes again? Craig Conroy has this long-term plan, but these short-term moves do not really align with a rebuilding team. Will he br...

The Calgary Flames would easily be a bottom-10 team had it not been for Dustin Wolf's Calder Trophy season. Do the Flames even remember what the long-term plan is? It's not about winning and getting in. Craig Conroy wanted to assemble a winning roster. That takes time. The Flames recently signed Aydnar Suniev to an entry level contract and could see him make his NHL debut this year. Could the Flam...

The Calgary Flames are struggling to stay in the mix of things as they lose yet another game. The Flames are currently 7 points out of a wild card spot and are running out of games. They will need more than Dustin Wolf to step up and show up for these games. The rookie goaltender can't do it all on his own. There is still no update on Connor Zary, which could be good or bad news. Support Us By Sup...

As if the two overturned goals were frustrating enough, Connor Zary suffered a scary lower body injury. Mikko Rantanen didn't have control of himself and slid right into Zary in a completely avoidable collision. The Calgary Flames had their 4 game win streak snapped by the Dallas Stars. Frustrations ran high and the Flames just couldn't gain momentum. Nazem Kadri hit the 30 goal mark for the third...

Jess Belmosto shares her three storylines that have made this season quite the opposite of what everyone expected. Dustin Wolf should walk away with the Vezina, Hart and Calder Trophy but unfortunately, h...

Nazem Kadri scored the OT winner in the 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken. The Flames have now come from behind and won four straight games.

Join Jessica Belmosto as she breaks down last night's victory and the path to the playoffs. With the St. Louis Blues on a heater, it might make...

The St. Louis Blues are currently playing like they did back in 2019. What happened that year? They won the Stanley Cup. The Calgary Flames playoff hopes are at risk but aren't entirely out of the question. Will the Flames offense pick it up so they can keep them alive? The Flames may have a bigger problem on their hands. Jakob Chychrun signed an 8 year $9m AAV contract with the Washington Capital...

Once the Flames head home they faceoff against the Seattle Kraken and cup favorite...

The Calgary Flames are still in the mix of things in a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils. The team pulled it out of them in the third period and they collected two more points. Are the Flames going to make the playoffs? If they miss the playoffs would they accelerate the rebuild? Jonathan Huberdeau scored his 26th goal of the season to give the Flames the lead and Kadri sealed the deal with a...

The Calgary Flames are still in the race for a Wild Card spot. There is no guarantee that they make it but it's also not out of the realm of possibility that they make it. Are the Flames wasting an opportunity to rebuild? Is this another example of them wanting to hold off because they believe in the group they have? Can they learn from years past and avoid wasting players primes? Support Us By Su...

Dustin Wolf cannot do it all. He has bailed the Flames out night in and night out throughout this entire season. The Calder Trophy race is red hot and tonight's performance likely cost him votes. However, Ryan Huska did not put the blame on the rookie's shoulders. The Calgary Flames have to do right by Wolf and prioritize the long term picture. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
