Say Goodnight Gracie
Posted on 7 Apr 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Goodnight Gracie! Well that is it for the Calgary Flames for the 2010-2011 season. Despite the fact the Flames demolished the Oilers 6-1 at the Saddledome in a game which Nikolai Khabibulin kept close for the first half of the game, the Flames couldn't get any help on the out of town scoreboard with both Chicago and Anaheim winning. With the Ducks and Hawks wins 95 points will not get it done f...

998..999..1000!
Posted on 1 Apr 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Jarome Iginla received a partial breakaway feed from Alex Tanguay and raced down the right side snapping a wrist shot on the blocker side beneath Jaroslav Halak's blockers and history was made. Iginla's second goal and third point of the night led the Flames to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Blues keeping their slim playoff hopes alive but more historically important it was the 1000th point of th...

Ducks Nail The Flames Coffin Shut
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Too many times this year I have had to analyze a Flames game only to come up with the same answers. Miikka was adequate but not strong. The forwards need depth and speed. The defense is actually pretty good but overpriced. In a game the Calgary Flames desperately had to win in order to keep any realistic hope of a playoff berth alive they really came out of the gate flat again despite a early f...

Ruined By The Bruins
Posted on 29 Mar 2011 by Anna Santiago.
It would have been nice for the Blackhawks to be able to pad their lead 1 point lead on the 9th place Calgary Flames, but in Boston tonight, there was no chance of that. The Bruins supplied 3 goals to the scoreboard in their favour, and goalie Tim Thomas, who is having an outstanding year so far, made 32 saves. That earned him his 25th career shutout. The first period went by rather uneventfull...

Blog #200! The NHL Had It Coming!
Posted on 25 Mar 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Two Hundredth blog eh? I think that gives me a great excuse to go on a rant that should cover a fair bit of the NHL! But lets start with the team I cover. The Calgary Flames! It's pretty cut and dry for the Flames. Win all six and you probably get in. Anything less than that and I'll have extra time to focus on the Coyotes errr Jets. The good news for the Flames is that four of the six games th...

The Sky Is Not Falling… Yet.
Posted on 16 Mar 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Two straight games of uninspired play has Flames fans in panic mode. 95 points appears to still be the magic number for the playoffs this year. If that is the case the Calgary Flames will have to win seven of their final ten games to get in. Needless to say the task has gotten a lot harder than it was a week ago. The schedule for the Flames looks like this… Colorado @ Anaheim @ Los Angel...

RICHARDS TO RETURN TONIGHT
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Travis Currie.
The Stars should receive a big boost tonight with Brad Richards returning to the lineup. He's been cleared to return to action and tonight's home mathup against the Flames will be his first action since he took the hit by Sami Pahlsson on February 13th. The hit came in the dying seconds of a 2-1 loss on home ice. The hit would seem pretty harmless if you watch it but it left Richards in a daze ...

Flames, Jets, And Chara Oh My!
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
The Calgary Flames can get as close to solidifying a playoff spot as you really can in the wild Western Conference with back to back games tonight and tomorrow against the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Phoenix Coyotes. If the Flames find a way to take four points out of these two games they will likely find themselves temporarily back in 4th spot in the West. More importantly they would get themsel...

Why Goaltending Matters
Posted on 2 Mar 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
It's been a wild week for the Calgary Flames, after dropping a tough decision to the Boston Bruins losing 2-1 in a game where Tim Thomas was spectacular, and he also got a little help from his posts in the game. Then they followed that game up with a 4-3 loss in shootout to the red hot San Jose Sharks where Miikka Kiprusoff stood on his head to keep the Flames in it and salvage a point. Then b...

Flames Freeze Habs – Hagman
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
41,022 fans braved the elements and had a great time watching the Calgary Flames knock off the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 in the second ever Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. The ice wasn't the best, but they did a good job considering they couldn't use the zamboni's. The wind was probably the biggest factor as we had one of the windier days of the winter making the temperatures of -1...

Calgary Flames – Trade Deadline Plan
Posted on 19 Feb 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
Back to back wins have kept the Calgary Flames right in the hunt for the post season. I think it is fair to say that even the most die hard Flames fan would have said Christmas morning that for the Flames to make the playoffs they would need nothing short of a minor miracle. Well since December 23rd the Flames have gone on a 25 game run of 16-4-5 and find themselves one of the hottest teams in ...
