Game Takes: Wings 3 Flames 1

February 1st, 2025 | Posted in Game Takes | By: D'Arcy McGrath

The Flames auditioned two new players tonight; with Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost making their debuts in Flames colours.

It didn’t turn out how any of the 20 dressed in red would have hoped.

The Flames were the better team, pretty much from start to finish, but they couldn’t finish against Cam Talbot and dropped a 3-1 game (2-1 with an empty netter) to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.

They’ll have to dust off the disappointment quickly as they get on a flight to Seattle tonight, for a game against the Kraken tomorrow night.

Well that was a night!

A game was played of course, with the Flames erasing a 1-0 Anaheim lead with four straight goals, including three straight to finish the game for Matt Coronato and his first NHL hat trick.

While all this transpired a slow leaking 6 asset swap with the Philadelphia Flyers, with two new key pieces joining the Flames for the weekend.

Calgary snaps a two game losing streak, and leapfrogs the Canucks back into a playoff spot.

Won’t forget this one!

January 28th, 2025 | Posted in Game Takes | By: D'Arcy McGrath

The Flames played about as good a game as you can against one of the best team’s in the circuit.

They settled in and pretty much carried the play five on five from about the five minute mark of the first period through to the end of the contest, but didn’t have the finish to tie the game and secure a point.

The Caps win 3-1 with a third period breakaway by Protus to put it away.

The Flames have now lost two in a row in that tight West Wildcard race.

Up next is the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night.

The Flames showed up.

Give them credit, the dead tired team missing one of their go to blueliners, playing on back to backs with their backup goaltender showed up and gave the Jets a handful in a 5-2 loss that was actually much closer than the final score would suggest.

In the end they couldn’t finish, and couldn’t get the big save to sweep the weekend after beating the Wild last night.

Up next is the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night at the Saddledome.

Game Takes: Flames 5 Wild 4

January 26th, 2025 | Posted in Game Takes | By: D'Arcy McGrath

For 45 minutes the Flames were teaching the world how to play road hockey.

They were cruising up 3-1 and 4-1 in the third period, and were giving up literally nothing.

Then it got weird.

The two teams combined for five third period goals turning a laugher into an interesting finish in a 5-4 Flames win in Minnesota on Saturday night.

The Flames got two goals from Andrei Kuzmenko, and two assists nights from Yegor Sharangovich and Mackenzie Weegar to pace the squad.

Right back at it tonight with a game in Winnipeg commencing 22 hours after this one finished.
