March 16th, 2012 by Pat Steinberg

March 11th, 2012 by Pat Steinberg

Getting and then relinquishing leads is something that we’ve seen plenty of over the last little while for the Calgary Flames, but the fact is, they’re still won four of their last six games.  On Sunday afternoon, the Flames did what they should, getting two points against the Minnesota Wild, taking a 4-3 victory at [...]

March 7th, 2012 by Pat Steinberg

As we broke for you this afternoon, the Calgary Flames have recalled Sven Baertschi on an emergency basis from Portland of the Western Hockey League.  The transaction raised a ton of questions, however, and we were lucky enough to be joined by General Manager Jay Feaster on Wednesday afternoon to clarify a number of different [...]
