Locked On Flames - Daily Podcast On The Calgary Flames

It's been exactly a year since the Calgary Flames fired their head coach Darryl Sutter. The firing came as a shock to many considering friendship blocked Treliving from firing him mid season. The Flames are now one year removed from the Darryl Sutter era. What has Ryan Huska brought to the table? Have the Flames been able to make up for any lost ground?

All signs pointed to Jacob Markstrom being traded at the deadline. The Calgary Flames just couldn't make it happen. Markstrom's bounce back performance is something to be commended. The goaltender got a clean slate with new head coach Ryan Huska. The Flames mismanaged the trade and ended up soiling the relationship. What does the future look like for the Calgary Flames and Jacob Markstrom?

Mackenzie Weegar has cemented himself as one of the leaders in the Calgary Flames locker room. The defenseman set records for the Flames with 20 goals and 200 blocked shots. He is committed to staying through the rebuild and working to bring the cup back to Calgary.

The Calgary Flames AHL affiliate the Calgary Wranglers, begin their race to the Calder Cup! The Wranglers will faceoff in a best-of-3 series against the Tucson Roadrunners. Dustin Wolf looks for more postseason success as Matt Coronato looks to build off regular season success. Jess Belmosto previews the series.

The Calgary Flames have another set of challenges ahead of them. What do you do about your goaltending situation? Are you going to trade Jacob Markstrom and ride with Dustin Wolf and re-sign Dan Vladar or maybe sign another less expensive goaltender? What does Dustin Wolf need to do to earn that next contract?

Locked On Flames podcast is the daily podcast that drops the puck and keeps you ahead of the game and the first to know the latest news, analysis, and insider info for the Calgary Flames and the National Hockey League.

Craig Conroy had a ridiculous mess to start cleaning up. How would you rank his first season with the Calgary Flames? Ryan Huska made the jump to the NHL and did what he could to make the most of this season. Players like Blake Coleman and jacob Markstrom had great seasons. Is next year the year Jonathan Huberdeau breaks through in Calgary?

The Calgary Flames came into the season with a new coach, general manager and captain. There was a giant mess to clean up and it was going to take more than one season. Craig Conroy completed the goals of trading his pending UFAs. Ryan Huska shifted the vibes in the locker room and brought out new ways to play for these players. What else unfolded in Calgary over the last six months? Top storylines for the 2023-24 Calgary Flames https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSceDAGvzezmR5Fyo_a-VEg

The Calgary Flames are going to have to build the bulk of their next core through the draft. While re-litigating past mistakes might produce more certainty, there is no way to undo what's already been done. So now, the focus needs to be mastering the amateur scouting process. The Arizona Coyotes are seemingly moving forward with a re-location to Salt Lake city which might realign the NHL's divisions.

We all know the Calgary Flames had a tough season. What played into the downfall of this team? Plenty of pre-season models projected the Flames to make the playoffs. We delve deep into the Flames' special teams, highlighting their above average penalty kill that has been a rare bright spot. We also shine a spotlight on Jonathan Huberdeau's remarkable resurgence in the second half of the season, discussing how his offensive production has improved since the start of the new year. Despite flashes of brilliance, it's impossible to ignore the underachievement of the Flames this season. With moderate expectations and a talented roster, the team fell short of reaching their full potential, and ultimately resulted in a trade deadline sell off.

The Calgary Flames look to make the most of these last six games before heading into the offseason with a few questions. Will they end up trading Jacob Markstrom? What does Dustin Wolf's contract look like and do they try to trade Andrew Mangiapane? What do they do about Andrei Kuzmenko and Yegor Sharangovich? Offseason Challenges for the Calgary Flames? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSceDAGvzezmR5Fyo_a-VEg

Yegor Sharangovich came in as a reclamation project for the Calgary Flames. He had a down year in New Jersey but had a strong bounce back with the Flames.

We disccuss Oliver Kylington's notable nomination for the prestigious Masterton Trophy, acknowledging his perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game. We also dive into the disappointment surrounding the Calgary Flames' elimination from playoff contention, analyzing their season performance and what this means for the team moving forward. Additionally, we touch upon the controversial decisions made in recent games, including Connor Zary's surprising healthy scratch and Martin Pospisil's dangerous hit, sparking debates and reflections within the hockey community.

The Calgary Flames simply don't score enough to be a playoff team in today's NHL. While the team did lose three regulars from the lineup ahead of the trade deadline, it also underperformed relative to league average last season as well

The Calgary Flames were about 20 goals away from being a playoff team during the 2022-2023 season. This year, the Flames are likely going to finish about 15 goals short of the league average.

As the Calgary Flames are set to miss the postseason for the second consecutive season, it's natural to take a step back and take stock of the rest of the NHL and what the Flames might be able to learn from other organizations.

The Calgary Flames are taking their medicine as an organization and making the roster worse in the short term to improve the team's future. How much can change in one single offseason? Can the Flames jump from the outskirts of the lottery to the top 5? Can they squeak back into the wild card conversation?

The Flames had a good chance of winning last night but the universe had other plans. Jonathan Huberdeau's powerplay goal launched the vibes off the chart. Kuzmenko was robbed of a hat trick due to an overturned goal. What does this mean for the Flames game this weekend against the LA Kings?

The Calgary Flames are amongst the soggy middle of the NHL. The Flames aren't awful enough to be a lottery team but they're not good enough for the postseason, is that about what the organization expected coming into the season? What other teams around the league are in the same boat. Julien McKenzie of The Athletic wrote a feature explaining the friendship between Flames legend Lanny McDonald and current forward Jonathan Huberdeau, detailing how the former has helped the latter get acclimated to Calgary and find his place with the organization. What exactly were the Flames expectations this season | The Huberdeau-McDonald connection

Nazem Kadri's second season with the Calgary Flames has been a positive one. From an increase in production to anchoring two unsuspecting rookies; he's been great. What can you expect from Kadri? Plus, Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis share their thoughts on the Flames prospect pool. Wrap up the show with your surprises of the season!

It's okay to point and laugh. Jess Belmosto revisits some of her preseason predictions which include the Calgary Flames being better then the red hot Vancouver Canucks. Dustin Wolf, Jakob Pelletier and Matt Coronato did not make the full time jump to the NHL and Craig Conroy did not fumble the trade deadline.

The Calgary Flames are entering unfamiliar territory. A rebuild has no clear direction or path to success. What should the Flames expect as they move through the process? The pair take a look at timelines of other rebuilds and playoff droughts. Do the Flames have the best faculty to facilitate this rebuild?

The Calgary Flames have 14 regular season games remaining and general manager Craig Conroy is itching to remodel the team in his own image after largely being saddled with Brad Treliving's decisions. Plus, Dustin Wolf gets his shot

The Calgary Flames rough post trade deadline swoon continued Monday night with a brutal loss to the Stanley Cup contending Colorado Avalanche. In the last few weeks, the team's defense rapidly deteriorated with the trades of Noah Hanifin and Chris Tanev. While the season isn't over, this final stretch of games might get pretty ugly.

Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy said the organization is embarking on a re-tool, not a rebuild. Is there actually a difference between the two organizational perspectives? What are examples of both around the NHL?

In spite of those specific outcomes, the Flames do have 18 more games to play and it's a golden opportunity for young players to seize roles going into the future and set themselves up for success down the road The Flames come back down to earth | What the final 18 games mean

The NHL trade deadline has come and gone. Jacob Markstrom is still a Calgary Flame and will at least finish the season as one. Were the buyers the real winners? What are the Flames doing with stockpiling defenseman? Every team had a different approach and some did better than others. Tyler Toffoli headed off to the Winnipeg Jets while Tomas Hertl surprised everyone with a move to the Vegas Golden Knights. What are the next steps for the Calgary Flames? Is it worth fighting for a playoff spot?

Noah Hanifin was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights for Daniil Miromanov, a first-round pick and a conditional third. The Flames have done exactly what they set out to.

The Calgary Flames are at a crossroads. Craig Conroy has finally taken over and is pushing this team back in a competitive direction. This is not going to be an easy process and you have to have achievable benchmarks along the way. Will this team be toying with the idea of being a contender in 4 years? Who knows what the new arena may bring. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Calgary Flames are headed towards a roster reconstruction era. They've declined to call it a rebuild but then months later admit that's what they're doing. Regardless, changes are happening in Calgary and they need to acquire some assets to get it done. Are players like Connor Zary and Matt Coronato ready for these full time roles?

The Calgary Flames came back from a 4-1 deficit Monday afternoon against the Winnipeg Jets in a game that was a peak into the team's short-term future. Without genuine star power to swing games, the Flames will require an all hands on deck approach driven by effort, not one of overwhelming talent. While the wins might be hard to come by, games like Monday reiterate that the Flames aren't waving the white flag on the season.  A glimpse into the Calgary Flames future| Hard work and bumps Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Calgary Flames will be sellers at the trade deadline. Players like Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin will certainly be on the move. Jacob Markstrom is interested in waiving his NMC if the offer is right. There's an argument to be made that the Flames should use the remainder of the season to try anything and everything possible. It would get players reps but you can fall back on the data for your summer and long term plans. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Dustin Wolf and Dan Vladar were on the ice but it turns out Markstrom is backing up Wolf tonight against the San Jose Sharks.

The Calgary Flames are heading back home after winning 3 out of 4 on the road. The season is by no means over but spite may have been the fuel to start that fire.

Plus, Jess Belmosto shares her thoughts on the absolute smackdown the Flames laid on the Boston Bruins on Monday night.

Dillon Dube has been arrested and charged with sexual assault in connection with the 2018 Team Canada World Juniors case. The Calgary Flames are facing deserved scrutiny after calling Dube's mental health the reason behind his absence. Either way, the team had a serious lapse of competency. Where is the accountability in any of this? Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis share their thoughts on the latest updates and implications of the Flames statement. This was recorded before the Calgary Flames released their updated statement. The Calgary Flames also played half a hockey season and the pair decided to break down the hots and nots. Is Rasmus Andersson overachieving or underperforming? Where does Connor Zary bode in the Calder Trophy conversations? Blake Coleman leading the team in scoring is nice and all but the decision-makers should be concerned. How does Jonathan Huberdeau's performance impact the rest of the season and the team's playoff chances? Can we talk about Jacob Markstrom playing like one of the top 5 goalies in the league?

The Calgary Flames snapped their losing streak in an underwhelming 1-0 win against the Chicago Blackhawks. Elias Lindholm broke his goalless drought with a nice performance on the power play. It was very much a win win situation there. Are him and his agent still asking for $9m? Jacob Markstrom is the only saving grace for this team. He earned his 20th career shutout and stole the Flames yet another game. Jess shares her thoughts on the Flames approach to the trade deadline after the stinker of a home stand. There is no chance this team makes the playoffs so it's time to start selling. The idea of a Noah Hanifin extension feels like a distant dream. Elias Lindholm's wishes simply cannot be granted by the Calgary Flames. Chris Tanev is reportedly drawing interest from teams including the Ottawa Senators. We have the latest update on AJ Greer and Martin Pospisil's injuries as well. Jess Belmosto wraps up the show with the news of the first player to turn themselves in to the London Ontario Police in connection to the 2018 World Juniors case.

The Calgary Flames have now dropped four straight. Their homestand has been less than attractive and has sent a very clear message to ownership and stakeholders. Something has got to give. Allowing the Columbus Blue Jackets to steamroll you is embarrassing. What prevented this team from being the better guys? Frustration was in the air and it was obvious Jonathan Huberdeau probably should have been suspended after boarding a Blue Jacket. AJ Greer is now injured. There is not much left to be hopeful for. How are the golf courses in April? This is where the season is at. Craig Conroy has yet to pull the trigger on any moves. Elias Lindholm has been mismanaged. Chris Tanev is probably going to request that trade and Noah Hanifin has to go. There have been so many mistakes that have gotten the Calgary Flames to this point. It's time to break the cycle and do better. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! eBay Motors For parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Adam Ruzicka and Nick Desimone were both claimed off waivers. Ruzicka will be heading to the Arizona Coyotes after 100+ games in his 4 years with Calgary. Nick Desimone heads back east to the New Jersey Devils. Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis talk about the pros and cons to waivers. After almost 2 years, Oliver Kylington is set to make his return to the NHL. Kylington has been on a leave of absence since the middle of the 2022 offseason. It's been a long road for Kylington and his strength should be commended. Before his leave, Kylington was playing great hockey. There will be a reacclimation period but it will be great to see him back at that level. The pair wrap up the show with talks about an effective fourth line and what they are meant to do. There is a new value to a speedy fourth line rather than big tough grinders. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! eBay Motors For parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

TW: Mentions of sexual assault Today we learned that five players will be arrested and charged with sexual assault in connection with the 2018 World Junior case. The five players have been granted permission to turn themselves in to Ontario police and face charges. The London Police will host a press conference in under two weeks to share updates on their investigation and findings. Today, Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis share the latest news and their thoughts on the situation. Responsible reporting is important. There is no room for irresponsible reporting when it comes to situations like this. The NHL must also do better and incorporate an anonymous reporting system. If you see something, say something.

The Calgary Flames are fighting tooth and nail to remain in the wild card race. They're tied with the Arizona Coyotes and Seattle Kraken while the Nashville Predators hold the second spot with a four point lead. Are the Calgary Flames even remotely close to competitive? Time is going to run out before the trade deadline and they both hinge on each other. Elias Lindholm will need to be moved regardless but what is Noah Hanifin's plan. Chris Tanev's name is gaining traction back in Vancouver but the Flames want a young forward in return. What can the Flames do to ensure this team stays on the right tracks and does not slip further and further behind?

The Edmonton Oilers extended their win streak to 13 after defeating the Calgary Flames 3-1. The Flames fell short after a disappointing first-period performance. Noah Hanifin and Rasmus Andersson struggled against Connor McDavid and the Oilers. Dan Vladar was the only reason the Flames did not go down in a more humiliating fashion. Mackenzie Weegar and Blake Coleman stepped up and had a lot to say postgame. Where is the accountability from the team captain Mikael Backlund? Being well poised and media training only goes so far. Is this going to wake the Flames up? Oliver Kylington is set to skate with the Flames during practice this week. This is a positive step in his recovery and return to the game. On top of Kylington's return, Jacob Markstrom is set to return action as well. Have the Flames cracked a code with the goaltending issues? Is Marky of carrying this load for the rest of the regular season? The Calgary Flames announced that Dillon Dube will be taking an indefinite leave of absence to attend to his mental health. The team has requested everyone respect the player's privacy. Jess talks about the importance of mental health and how it is just as important as physical health. Plus, how integrating younger players may be the recipe for success.

*** I accidentally said Connor Zary was injured when I meant Martin Pospisil. Zary is not hurt. It is Pospisil that is out for some time. The Calgary Flames showed major signs of regression against the Toronto Maple Leafs. After being defensive liabilities, Dillon Dube and AJ Greer were stapled to the bench after Toronto's two goals. Jess Belmosto shares her thoughts on the Calgary Flames' missteps and injuries. Assistant coach Marc Savard's career ended early due to his repeated concussions. It would not surprise me if Savy had had some heart-to-hearts with Pospisil about his injuries and development. A healthy Connor McDavid comes to town with the red hot Edmonton Oilers. They look to extend their 12 game win streak to 13 with a win over their Albertan rivals. What is the secret to the Oilers success and is this something the Flames may be able to find their way to?

Whether looking at Connor McDavid, Nathan Mackinnon, or Quinn Hughes, everyone brings different things to the table. What makes someone the MVP of their team and how does that translate to the bigger picture? Connor Hellebyuck is the most valuable player on the Winnipeg Jets and he will not receive a Hart Trophy nod simply because this is an award for forwards. The NHL owes a lot to Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin and they''re aging like fine wine while successfully evolving their game. Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis review their ballots and make their case for each candidate. Plus, Connor McDavid is in a league of his own.

Calgary Flames fans had this preconceived notion about Yegor Sharangovich. Everyone worried about how the team would use him and repeating his previous performance with the New Jersey Devils. What does he do well? What doesn't work in his favor? Is Sharky another player with the same set of skills?

The Calgary Flames season is over halfway through and the direction is still unclear. Jacob Markstrom became the talk of the town on Friday after becoming the center of trade rumors. Just a few days later, he leaves practice early. Come to find out, he is suffering a lower-body injury. Dustin Wolf has been recalled ahead of this six-game homestead. This is an opportunity for Wolf and Dan Vladar to bolster their confidence and show their worth. Jess Belmosto goes over her midseason review of scoring leaders and most surprising first-half performances. Blake Coleman was not on her radar for leading the team in scoring. Yegor Sharangovich has had a bounce back year and there are plenty of reasons to celebrate that. The Calgary Flames have some great two way defensemen as well. They are able to rack up those points and really contribute to the team's success. Plus, Jess goes over the latest updates on Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm in her UFA Update.

The Carolina Hurricanes have been a team that's floated around regarding a landing spot for Elias Lindholm. Are there pieces in the Canes organization that could generate a return for Lindholm and Jacob Markstrom? Players like Brett Pesce have been seen as attractive especially if Noah Hanifin does not sign an extension. Jess Belmosto and Jared Ellis go over the needs of both organizations. The Hurricanes desperately need a goaltender, and Markstrom might be the piece they need to continue their chase for the cup. Not only do they need a goalie but anyone would benefit from a strong two way center. The Calgary Flames aren't looking for rentals but can't afford to get any older or tie up long term money for the wrong guy.

Everyone knows about Bill Belichick and the Patriots Way. Everyone in professional sports tries to replicate that one way or another. Not everyone is capable of doing that. Teams must be ready to have something to fall back on when things get tough. The Calgary Flames have benefitted from the environment in Calgary. They've had poor experiences with coaching and a plain old bad season. The team has bounced back and is playing good hockey. Jess and Nick discuss the resilience it takes to continue their fight after losing those six straight. What makes a room a good room? There are attributes players and staff must possess to make things work. Positive reinforcement goes a very long way.

Craig Conroy sat down with The Athletic and spilled his guts about his upcoming plan. He wants to make sure players like Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin are taken care of as well as those on the other side of the deal. Is there a realistic way to make this work or is he going to have to change his approach by the deadline? Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis put on their General Manager thinking caps and try to approach not only the present but long term direction of the club as well. With no clear direction and ownership dismissing a rebuild, what can the organization do to turn things around? Is there a clear cut way to find success with this group or are they going to have to pull out all the stops and say well we tried when it fails? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Calgary Flames announced that Jakob Pelletier has been assigned to the Calgary Wranglers. Pelletier was injured during a preseason game against the Seattle Kraken. Does his return give the Flames more wiggle room for a trade? Pelletier and Matt Coronato are NHL-caliber players. Both provide more cushion for the Flames to move a forward. Oliver Kyington is also working his way back which could mean someone on the back end gets moved as well. Jess Belmosto shares her thoughts on her players to watch ahead of the Flames game against the Ottawa Senators. Jonathan Huberdeau and Andrew Mangiapane look to build off their last few performances. Blake Coleman is playing his best hockey as a Flame as well. The show wraps up with the breaking news of Jamie Drysdale being traded to Philadelphia for Cutter Gauthier.

The Calgary Flames dropped 2 points to the Chicago Blackhawks in an inexcusable loss. The Blackhawks have beaten the Flames four times in a row, keeping the Flames out of the playoffs last season. Johnathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri both had great performances but it wasn't enough to push the Calgary Flames over the top. Calgary Flames President of Hockey Ops, Don Maloney gave an interview during the first intermission that let fans know where they are at. It is still very much wait and see but he let everyone know the players are in charge. Elias Lindholm's future is still up in the air along with Noah Hanifin. Although, it does sound like a Hanifin may sign an extension shortly. With the road trip over, the Flames head back to the Saddledome to face off against the struggling Ottawa Senators.

The NHL should take out of the PWHL's book and restructure its point system. Many teams heavily rely on the loser point and it's time to make the playoffs a true competition. Does the NHL have what it takes to revamp itself? The league hasn't made significant changes since the 2003-04 lock out. Would a similar 3-2-1 point system be good for the NHL? Speaking of fun competition, the NHL is set to announce team representatives for the 2024 All Star Game tomorrow evening. Each team has one representative. Who will be representing the Calgary Flames? What makes the NHL All Star Game good? What is the purpose and who does it benefit? Nick and Jess guess who will be sent to Toronto to represent the Calgary Flames. Connor Zary has been that dude this season. He came in and exceeded any and all expectations. His NHL career isn't even 30 games old yet and he is showing real promise. The dynamic of Zary, Nazem Kadri and Martin Pospisil has been magical to watch. Is he part of the long term plan Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Sleeper Download the Sleeper App and use promo code LOCKEDONNHL to get up to a $100 match on your first deposit.

The Calgary Flames are starting 2024 with a four-game road trip. In these upcoming games, they look to gain ground in the wild card race. They face off against the Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago Blackhawks. Jess Belmosto addresses her biggest questions and obstacles of each opponent. Are the Flames capable of shutting down the Preds powerplay? Are they going to be able to sneak enough goals by Juuse Saros? Connor Bedard is a force to be reckoned with but can the Flames suffocate his shine? Jess names her players to watch ahead of the road trip. Andrew Mangiapane had a three point night against the Flyers. He is so close to finding the back of the net. We are seeing flashes of the Mangiapane that earned that $5.9m extension. Where are we at with Elias Lindholm? Is he doing anything to improve his game ahead of the deadline? Has the best time to maximize on trading him sailed? Plus, Jonathan Huberdeau snapped his pointless streak. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

We talk a lot about the Calgary Flames and their approach to the game. Sometimes the eye test works better than numbers and sometimes the numbers can back the eye test. Today, Jess Belmosto and Nick Zararis talk about who's hot and who's not when it comes to offensive and defensive metrics. Mackenzie Weegar's numbers will show you that he is the best defensive defenseman on the team. Some players are above average while falling short in other categories. These are new ways to approach watching the Flames. With these stats and explanations in mind, you might pay attention to new things or different players. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Seattle Kraken and Calgary Flames are set to battle it out Wednesday at the Saddledome. The last time these teams met the Flames won 4-3 in overtime. There might be some residual tension after Andrew Mangiapane's crosscheck on Jared Maccan. The two teams are in the middle of the pack in the Pacific Division. Both teams have struggled so far this season and have underperformed. Neither team has met expectations. Seattle has struggled with all aspects of their game and look to earn that final spot in the playoff race. The Calgary Flames are still struggling at both ends of the ice. There has been a lack of consistent offense from their top line players and players like Blake Coleman have stepped up. Jacob Markstrom is stealing games left and right but where is the offense? How can you get Jonathan Huberdeau going? Is there a world where you bench him to try to rejuvenate him again? Jess wraps up her show with players to watch. Is Ryan Huska going to make Andrew Mangiapne earn those top line minutes or will it be passed back when AJ Greer begins to slip? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Calgary Flames have yet to choose a direction. The wait-and-see game has gone on and saved the Calgary Flames some money with Elias Lindholm but ultimately, these players are not getting any younger. James Johnson of The Win Column joins the show to discuss the blueprint for a Calgary Flames rebuild. Are there any untouchables on this current roster? What would it take to move on from a player like Jacob Markstrom? The Flames aren't contenders. You have to draft high to win. The Flames must figure out what they want to do before the trade deadline. Fans are getting tired of waiting. Fans are refusing to spend money on the team until things change. What makes a rebuild a successful rebuild? How have teams like the New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils and Nashville Predators rebuilt? Is there a rebuild or retool on the horizon? Which Flames player are you okay signing and who is okay to walk? James and Jess look at the bigger picture and talk about aging players like Rasmus Andersson or even Mackenzie Weegar.

The Calgary Flames aren't a bad team but aren't particularly good either. "Good" doesn't win you a championship or even the second wild card spot. Join Jess Bemosto and Nick Zararis as they discuss the reality of the Calgary Flames season. Blake Coleman and Yegor Sharangovich have exceeded expectations but they shouldn't be the top scorers on the team. While some players underperform they sure make the good ones seem even better. When do people phone it in and realize this season is a complete wash? When will the Flames be done? Spoiler: It will be by the trade deadline. The season may not be a winning one BUT they can make it chaotic and fun by trading Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin. Who doesn't love a chaotic time?

The Calgary Flames are coming off a big 4-2 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. In even better news, goaltender Jacob Markstrom has been activated off of IR. The goaltender missed the last two weeks with a fractured finger. Chris Tanev has missed the last three games after being on the receiving end of Ross Colton's hit. Dustin Wolf has been re-assigned to the Calgary Wranglers. While that may feel disappointing, it does feel like this may force Craig Conroy's hand. Teams are looking for goaltenders and lucky for them he has one. Matthew Tkachuk and the Florida Panthers come to the Saddledome for a Monday night matchup. The Flames look to wear the resilient Panthers down to add another two points. What are some things that the Flames can learn from and continue to do to build up momentum? AJ Greer and Yegor Sharangovich have been studs as of late. Join Jess as she goes over her players to watch in tonight's matchup against the Florida Panthers.

Stop waiting for the hot streak. The Calgary Flames need to make changes. It's been proven that this roster needs a facelift. The game against the Minnesota Wild only further solidified that. Yegor Sharangovich should not be your best player and he will not be on any winning team. Something has to be done. Jonathan Huberdeau's contract still has 2,000+ days left and they're going to be waiting a very long time to get the most out of him. What is Craig Conroy to do? Scratching him does not fix the situation. Are the Flames going to crawl out of this hole into a somewhat competitive spot with some roster change? There are no scriptwriters. They have to figure this out for themselves. It is Friday which means Jess Belmosto names her winners and losers of the week. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Calgary Flames can no longer wait to trade their pending UFAs. This is not going to be an overly competitive hockey team come the second half of the season. Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm have showed drop offs in play and now Chris Tanev is out due to injury. Craig Conroy needed to be proactive and instead, we are being reactive. Jess talks about the direction this team is heading and why they are so lucky Lindy and Hanifin did not sign those rumored extensions. Jess talks about the remaining schedule ahead of the New Year and the Locked On NHL Power Rankings. Are the Carolina Hurricanes in trouble? Are the Seattle Kraken in trouble?

It is no secret that Jonathan Huberdeau has been underperforming. The criticism is a harsh reality for Calgary Flames fans as this is the first year in the 8-year extension. Just where does Huberdeau's production match up regarding value to players like Mackenzie Weegar, Nazem Kadri and Matthew Tkachuk? What is so different from Florida other than the weather? Turns out, it is a lot. Nick Zararis and Jess Belmosto break down what it takes to maximize value and squeeze every ounce out of every player. Mackenzie Weegar took his time settling in but he has become the best player of the summer of '22 acquisitions. How do these expensive long term contracts impact the Flames' plans for the future? There are far too many obstacles and variables preventing the Flames from bettering the team. They have a decision to make. The team has finally forced their hand.

But in a league where the margin of error is razor thin, the Flames need to play a perfect game to win every night is just too difficult. How feasible is it to try and compete when the team's best case scenario is wild card team? Can the Flames face the reality that they're off tempo or is Fletcher gonna tear them a new one?

In another comeback performance, the Calgary Flames took home another 2 points. They fell behind early but Dustin Wolf kept them in the game. The rookie goaltender did not think twice and held his head high even when falling behind early. Dillon Dube played just over five minutes. Is Ryan Huska finally shortening his leash? There was one line that was a complete standout: Nazem Kadri and Connor Zary. The two of them were communicating and generating true scoring chances. Their efforts would not go without reward. Rasmus Andersson's lack of confidence needs to be addressed and resolved quickly. The New Jersey Devils are coming to town on Saturday. It looks like Dan Vladar gets the start against Jack Hughes' team. The Devils have been driving the struggle bus of the Metro Division. Jess shares her winners and losers of the week as well. Linus Ullmark deserves endless goalie hugs with the level of vulnerability he displayed in his SportsNet interview.

Dillon Dube has had many opportunities to make something work within the Calgary Flames organization. After two 30+ point seasons, he has been unable to find and build off momentum. Nick Zararis and Jess Belmosto evaluate the type of player Dube is and readjust the expectations. Would it make sense for the Flames to try to flip him or is the penalty killer worth keeping around to chew up those minutes? Dube has more strengths than weaknesses. The pair dive into what the future may look like for the forward.
