With the trade deadline around the corner, and the playoffs quickly becoming a distant dream, you would think the Flames would dig deep and start finding ways to win. Unfortunately the Flames don’t seem to be able to get out of their own way quick enough. A loss tonight puts Calgary tied for 29th in the league, 2 points out of last, and tied for 15th in the conference. On the bright side, The Flames won’t have much time to think about this, or any loss. The Flames have another game tomorrow, and a game at least every other day till the end of the season. - Full Article –

Cryptic Starts Kills Calgary

The Calgary Flames are dangerous when the world has given up on them. They fill the net, go on home winning streaks, find hat tricks on Cowboy night, and entertain their fans.
