In the Dome: Calgary Flames Fan Podcast

Ups and Downs

Season 6, Ep. 7

The Flames are a month into their season and it's been streaky start to say the least. The hot start cooled off quick with ugly losses to Vegas and Utah followed up by a shutout victory over Jacob Markstrom and the New Jersey Devils. Most recently the Flames dropped the ball and didn't bring the juice in the second instalment of the Battle of Alberta.


Today we're looking at the last string of games with a focus on some of the head scratching lineup decisions Ryan Huska and his staff have been implementing.


Go Flames Go.

    01:46:30||Season 6, Ep. 17
    Led by Dustin Wolf, the Flames dropped the Anaheim Ducks and LA Kings this week with 3-2 and 2-1 victories respectively. It seems the Flames aren't going anywhere in the race for the wild card spot and hey, with how well this Wolf kid is rolling...the boys might actually have a shot at it. On the show today, we're once again singing the praises of the Wolfman. Also, Jonathan Huberdeau has been absolutely on fire and Matt Coronato continues to impress. Additionally, we delve into the recent rumblings around a Rasmus Andersson contract extension and why the Flames should be looking to trade him rather than committing long term (even though we love the guy).A busy week and tough road trip ahead!
