Flames 3 – Blackhawks 1

February 3rd, 2012 | Posted in Game Takes | By: Daniel Lemmon

All the buzz this morning was about the marvelous performance of Sam Gagner tying Wayne Gretzky with 8 points in a single game, while this is a good hockey story in and of itself, the question posed to the Flames players after the morning skate was one of importance, as that incredible performance came against the Flames opposition tonight, the Chicago Blackhawks.

There is never a more dangerous team than one that has most recently become the face of humility, so the Flames had to be prepared for a team that was extremely upset with their performance the night before, fresh in their minds and looking for someone to take all that frustration out on. As we all know, the best way to get over a tough loss is to go out and take advantage of some poor soul to try and make us feel better.. Was that a poor choice of words? - Full Article –

Red Wings 3 Flames 1

The stretch drive. If one was asked what the average Flame fan would hope for coming off an all star break in 2012 the easy answer would be a sewed up playoff position. Would that be realistic? Likely not.

So being within 3 points of a playoff spot simply can’t be a bad thing, which was exactly the position the Flames found themselves hosting the league’s best Red Wings on Tuesday night. Win or find points in the next two (next up is Chicago at the Dome on Friday night) and they are off to the races..

Game Takes: Flames 0 – Sharks 1

January 24th, 2012 | Posted in Game Takes | By: Daniel Lemmon

With the final game before the all-star break facing them at the start of the night, and a pissed off, tired, sick of losing, and very dangerous San Jose Sharks team staring them down, the Calgary Flames might have been guilty of a little bit of looking beyond the game. In the outright war between 5 teams for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, the Flames have done well to be a part of that ongoing battle, but injuries taking their toll, a weary Flames team might have been looking just a little too forward to some rest and relaxation time.
