Latest news and updates about the Flames
Connor Ingram started his third game for the Edmonton Oilers Saturday night. The overall result wasn’t what the team was hoping for, losing 3-2 to the Calgary Flames on a night where the Turkey Legs slowed the Oilers, but one promising result was Ingram’s play. He turned aside 29 of 32 shots for a .906…

Things got chippy in the last Battle of Alberta. On Tuesday, the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers played for the second time this season, the first time since the season opener. Despite being on Festivus, two days before Christmas, the two teams weren’t very festive. After a rather tame first period and an Oilers’ goal…

As the Edmonton Oilers finished off a 5-1 stomping of their provincial rival Calgary Flames on Tuesday night, and Connor McDavid finished off a jaw-dropping five-point performance, Jack Michaels dropped a line that really grabbed my attention: “I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him better. I’ve seen every one of the games he’s played. I’m…

Given all of that in the Edmonton Oilers’ final game before the Christmas Break on Tuesday night, it’s easy to see why the team would be feeling good. Couple…

The NHL's trade market is frozen at the moment, but once the holidays are over, look for a slew of moves to come before the Olympic break. January's going to be a busy month of transactions, and one player you can expect to see traded is Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson. Andersson recently admitted the Flames haven't approached him about a contract extension, cemented the writing on the wall that a deal is coming. He's a pending UFA, having a monster season for the Flames, and is lik...

Remember when the Edmonton Oilers sucked, and we all criticized them? Yeah, well, that was justified. But the schedule didn’t do them any favours. That was one of the worst schedules we’ve seen in a long time. Multiple four-game road trips. A seven-game eastern swing through exclusively Eastern Conference opponents. Six time-zone changes in roughly…

Since Calgary Flames president Don Maloney declared to the world that rebuilds are for losers in late November (I’m paraphrasing here), the team on the ice is backing it up, to both the excitement and chagrin of their fanbase. They are 9-3-1 since the rejection of the rebuild, and visions of playoffs aren’t inconceivable anymore,…

The Calgary Flames are not rushing anything with Blake Coleman, but the phone has not stopped ringing. Insider Frank Seravalli says 20 teams have already checked in on the veteran winger. If Calgary decides to move him, the market is going to be loud. Blake Coleman trade buzz is bigger than expected Seravalli’s note is especially interesting because Coleman has drawn more early interest than Nazem Kadri, even with Kadri being the bigger name. The simple reality is that Coleman is eas...

Wrapping up Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said the Vegas Golden Knights will be an “ornery” mood for the Edmonton Oilers game tonight. It makes sense why. The Golden Knights got doubled up 6-3 against the Calgary Flames, snapping an eight-game point streak, and setting up a back-to-back where both Edmonton and Vegas…

The Ottawa Senators are looking to upgrade in order to help them reach the postseason in back-to-back seasons after they finally made the leap to playoff contender. The team has been looking around, and while they don't have the cap space and need for an elite player or true top-6 talent, they could use some two-way and bottom-6 help. This is where the Calgary Flames come in. They are a bottom-feeder who have pieces to sell, even if they refuse to go into a rebuild. Bruce Garrioch said, "We do...

The Calgary Flames are starting to feel the squeeze of rumor season, and it is not just about Rasmus Andersson. Trade interest is picking up in Blake Coleman and Nazem Kadri , and it makes sense because contenders always start sniffing around proven veterans once the market sees one big move go down.

With Quinn Hughes off the market, all the attention has turned to Calgary Flames defenceman Rasmus Andersson. It's only a matter of time before the Flames pull the trigger on a move, and it sounds like a deal could be going down shortly after the holiday roster freeze, which kicks in Friday. Andersson is having a monster season for the Flames, is playing over 24 minutes a night, in all situations, and he's currently second on the team in points, behind only Nazem Kadri. There's been plenty of ...

There’s a concept in international best-on-best hockey that some causal fans may not be completely familiar with, mainly because I made it up just now: The double player. It’s a player who’s represents his country both internationally and in the NHL. A double Canadian is a Canadian player who plays on a Canadian NHL team. A double American is an American player who plays on an American NHL team. Jack Eichel is a double American. Matthew Tkachuk became one when he forced his way out from Calgar...

The seismic Quinn Hughes blockbuster is having ripple effects around the league on the trade market. Pierre LeBrun said on TSN's Insider Trading that teams in need of a defenseman are more desperate now, and the next most sought-after blueliner on the trade market, Rasmus Andersson, is getting even more attention. What I am hearing is that the Calgary Flames suddenly got more calls on Rasmus Andersson after the Quinn Hughes trade. That’s not surprising. Th...
