Calgary Flames Official Thread

Was really impressed by their play last night, tough that they had 2 disallowed goals too. St Louis has it, unless their wheels fall off or we win pretty much every game down the stretch, it's over.

What I'm really curious to see is what happens in Vancouver this summer, to go from winning the division to missing the playoffs is pretty massive.

I've been happy with Calgary's effort and play. When you look at recent games, they've lost to Colorado, Toronto and Dallas. all three are good teams that have been hot lately. Given that they have two more games against both Colorado and Vegas, I'm thinking, unless Minnesota goes on a losing streak the run is probably over.

Looks like Zary didn't break his leg last night, still worried he blew up his knee though.

Sounds like the medical emergency at the beginning of the Flames - Oilers game in Edmonton Saturday was a fan having a heart attack at the top of the stairs and falling down 20+ rows before someone stopped him. Scary stuff! hope the guy makes it.

Think last night was the nail in to coffin. St Louis has won 10 in a row and passed Minnesota, and the wild are 6 points up with only 1 more game played. Great push by the Flames, but they fell just short as expected.

At this point we're losing our pick so might as well do as well as you can to make the pick worse for Montreal. In that case, we should go for 9th in the west.

Flames will still get 2 1st round picks (Florida and NJ) so this draft could be good, maybe we try to trade up if there's a guy they like.

 

[CalgaryTiger]

Maybe they make another trade leading up to the draft...

Flames need a goal scorer, if there is one available, Conny should try hard to land him.

You mean in the draft or trade? I meant they could trade someone away. Maybe a Coleman? Too early to trade Anderson before the draft as they technically would've not have been able to have extension talks with him.

Ideally both lol. But I meant a trade.

Hmm I can't decide if I want them trading for someone that could be a 1C. Only scenario I could get behind is if some team out there with an obvious 1C for the next few seasons has a young prospect centre that in theory you could convince that team they want one of Anderson or Weegar ++ instead of future 1C because that team's time is now.

I think we need to keep both Andersson and Weegar, we don't have the depth on defense to replace him. I'd include Bahl in the no trade list and the rest are expendable.

To get you have to give.

Kadri is expendable in my mind. Would be sad to lose our best player, but he only has a few years left most likely and will not be a part of any future playoff push. I'd also say Coleman is expendable, we have a lot more depth on forward than D....
