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...

Dear Santa. Flames Edition
Posted on 22 Dec 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
Dear Santa, it's me Shane. I've tried to be a good boy this year. I haven't thrown anything at my TV all season despite how badly I wanted to. I've even tried to play nice with others which can be trying sometimes with a co-host like Dan Rakusan! Speaking of Dan you may want to help the Rangers make the playoffs this season. I'm afraid his head may pop off in anger soon if they don't or if Glen...

Win One. Lose One.
Posted on 10 Dec 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
Anyone else getting sick of this? The Flames will give you a solid performance and you can see the potential upside of this team, then they will roll into Los Angeles and lay another stinker. Somehow the Flames are only six points out of the playoffs but if they don't pull off a win in Anaheim tonight they could be as far as ten points out of the big dance by the end of the weekend. The Calgary...

Calgary Flames Salary Cap Report Card Goal and Defense
Posted on 30 Nov 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
It's report card time! Of course this report card takes into consideration the salary cap hit that each player represents, which is important in today's NHL. Teams that manage the salary cap tend to do better than teams that have issues controlling their cap figures. The Detroit Red Wings are of course the model franchise in this regard. They are always competitive and find a way to add pieces ...

Flames and Hurricanes Make a Trade!
Posted on 17 Nov 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
You knew losing 6 of their last 7 was not going to sit well with Darryl Sutter. Today he made a deal to address it. Calgary is sending D Ian White and F Brett Sutter to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for D Anton Babchuk and F Tom Kostopoulos. From a Flames perspective they gain a huge shot from the point in the form of Babchuk, also receiving another 4th liner in Kostopoulos who does all t...

Iginla Benched! Flames Lose To Detroit
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
It may have only been for one shift in the third period but I sure can't remember the last time Jarome was told to sit on the pine! The Calgary Flames once again blew a early lead and lost to the Detroit Red Wings 2-1 to end their five game home stand with three straight losses. Last night the D core of the Flames played very well, as did Miikka Kiprusoff who bounced back from a tough night aga...

Flames Offense Fizzles Out
Posted on 22 Oct 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
Looks like the boys wearing the flaming C on their chests have a problem. They can't score! On a night where the team had a very good first period and a 2-1 lead at the intermission thanks to a pair of goals from Mikael Backlund, they could just not find a way to sustain any offensive pressure and put the game further out of reach and in classic Detroit Red Wings fashion they stuck to their gam...

Posted on 3 Sep 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
In Part 1 I laid out the framework as to why the Calgary Flames will make the playoffs this year. Today I take the other side of the argument and explain why the Flames won't make the playoffs. So without further adieu… Why The Flames Won't Make The Playoffs As I stated in the previous blog. The Flames missed the post season because they couldn't score goals. The question now is did the C...

Why The Flames Will/Won’t Make The Playoffs! (Part 1)
Posted on 1 Sep 2010 by Shane Hoopfer.
All summer I have been watching the Flames moves and wondering to myself if the team is improved or not. I seem to be able to make an argument on both sides. So I'll present them to you over the next two blogs. Today I start with why the Flames will make it. Why The Flames Will Make The Playoffs The main reason Calgary missed the post season last year was that they were dead last in the league ...
