Midway through the third period of the Sharks/Flames game it’s becoming pretty obvious that there’s a developing story. What to do with #13? Sign him and keep him… Sign him and trade him… Don’t sign him and let him walk… but with his strong effort in this game GM Jay Feaster has a dilemma slowly [...]

While I’m taking the week off for some R&R…I’m not really taking the week off. Hard NOT to keep a close eye on the Flames these days. Whether  you think they have enough to make it to the post season dance or not, it still should be a fun month of February.  March? I’m not [...]

As I watched the Flames play the Sharks on Tuesday night, I couldn’t help wonder if that wasn’t their best game of the game. More I think about it, I think it was…they just didn’t get the result they wanted. Fast forward to Thursday and they played another solid road game in LA and came [...]

It’s been a long wait… but I think the Flames are finally starting to turn the corner towards playing some better hockey. It’s just a little hard to believe it took until the first few weeks in December for that to happen. Granted three wins in a row is not cause for parade route planning, [...]

Saw a lot of little positive things in the Flames 5-2 win over the Wild In Minnesota on Sunday. Did you? Big question is… and we’ve asked this before… can they put two games back-to-back? The Flames showed a more urgent need by the forwards to get into the greasy zone in front of the [...]

I have to admit this has been a very tough week. It hasn’t been easy to put a positive spin on things for the Flames after ‘The Debacle’ in Columbus. Fans have the ability to vent with Pat on Overtime after every game, but from a broadcasting standpoint, this is really where a broadcaster really [...]

After just watching the Stamps lose to the Eskimos up here in Edmonton tonight, it’s finally starting to hit home. The only thing consistent about Calgary teams right now is INconsistency. What’s up with that? We’ve all watched the Stamps struggle to maintain a level of constant play since Labour Day only to watch week [...]

One of my favourite things about October is that we actually get to see how ‘out to lunch’ our September predictions were. The key is NOT to overreact. To say that I’m a little disappointed in how the Flames have kicked off the season is a tiny understatement. I expected them to be a little [...]

Two massive games coming up for the Flames on the road… Thursday in Montreal and then Saturday in Toronah. The guys simply have to win one or both of those to keep the fans from storming the castle with pitch forks and torches. BUT there’s one date on the calendar already that’s caught my eye… [...]

I just sensed a feeling of ‘concern’ at the Saddledome on Saturday night after the Flames 5-3 loss to the Penguins. May I be a voice of reason? Especially since I’m new in town. Is it fair to say that the Penguins are up here (hold your hand at eye level) while the Flames are [...]
