The Calgary Flames are off to their worst start in team history with a record of 2-8-2 through 12 games. There are excuses you can make for this club, but ultimately they just aren’t playing good hockey at the moment.

Halloween is here, and nothing has been scarier this season than the Calgary Flames play on the ice. Sitting last place in the NHL and hanging onto their playoff hopes by a thread, it’s time to lighten the mood a bit and have some fun.
Over the past few days, there have been many rumours linking the Montreal Canadiens to Calgary Flames centre Nazem Kadri. It was also reported that Kadri does not have the Habs on his 13-team no-trade list, meaning he’d be willing to accept a trade to join the Canadiens.
