One day the hockey gods will determine that we #Flames fans have suffered enough and the rewards will be glorious. One day.

As much I like Morgan Frost and what he’s done for the #Flames I’m not sure that I’m ready/willing to re-sign him. I think you can get a good return in a depleted C market and I feel at best he’s a 2/3C on a contender. If Reschny is your 2C, Frost might be redundant at bigger $

That being said, I’m not fully on the trade him side either. Probably a 70-30 split for a trade today but that can change. Will be interesting if we see any numbers leak out which will sway my opinion more. There are a lot of positive aspects of his game.

The #Flames outscored the Leafs 1-0 last night on special teams which is impressive given that Toronto was the league's best cumulative special teams group with a #5 PP and #1 PK.

It took the #Flames 22 games last year to reach five regulation wins. They've done it this year in 11 games. Progress.

The 30 for 30 on a rabbit creating a #Flames dynasty is going to hit so hard.

Beyond the goals, I think the most impressive part of the #Flames PP is that they’re sustaining zone time for 0:45-1:30 pretty consistently and getting a number of Grade A chances in that time. There haven’t been many momentum killing PPs which was a hallmark of the last few yrs

Craig Conroy pre-rebuilt too effectively and we’re back in the mushy middle 😂😂

The #Flames win again and improve their record to 5-6-0 thanks to a 3 point game from Matvei Gridin. Multi point games also go to Pospisil, Farabee, Coronato, and Nemec. Calgary can go for a .500 record when they take on Edmonton in the B of A on Wednesday. Exciting times!

FARABEE INTO THE EMPTY NET!! The #Flames are going to hold on and win four in a row!! Farabee is officially a point-per-game player on the season.

#Flames facing adversity after having their 3-0 lead cut down to 3-2. They’ve been generating chances but haven’t been able to bury since the 2nd goal by Gridin.

That penalty call on Backlund might be the worst “slashing” call I’ve ever seen. Holy soft call.

This has to be one of the softest calls I've ever seen. Brutal. 🎥: Sportsnet | #Flames

#Flames with an impressive 2-0 lead early in this one. Very intrigued to see how they play the rest of the way. Obviously Calgary’s bread and butter is defensive hockey, but Toronto makes their living in high scoring games. Should be good hockey.

#Flames fans spent a long time begging for the 80s (current) jerseys to return in the 2010's. But after seeing the 03-04 throwbacks, it was a reminder of how nice they were too (not the flag jerseys tho). What would you prefer the Flames wear full-time? Both are gorgeous imo.
