LATEST STORIES FROM RED MILE
Seven One
I can't remember the last time the Flames got blown out this bad. Final score: 7-1, at home. Another loss to Chicago. But hey, at least Jokinen scored... I'm sure I wasn't the only one that thought the Flames would come out ready to play tonight, and I guess in a way I...
What's Wrong With Flames Fans?
I used to brag to my friends in Montreal and Vancouver about how great a building the Saddledome is; how loud it is; and how passionate the Flames fans are about their team. After last night's performance by the 19,289 fans in attendance I may have to eat my words. The Flames came...
Flames Win in Toronto for First Time Since 2000
I suppose that Flames fans should be happy that they won tonight, taking their first 2 points away from Toronto since 2000. But after the way they played, I'm not sure we can be so happy. Sure the Flames took 5 of a total 6 points on their 3-game road trip through the eastern conference...
Kipper Shuts Out the Canadiens
The Calgary Flames had not won a game in Montreal in 9 years, but that changed tonight when Miikka Kiprusoff shut out the Habs for his first shutout and 10th win of the season. The Flames goaltender has been the team's best player for the past few games and made some spectacular...
Another Road Game, Another Overtime Win
Despite the media focus regarding the team's H1N1 vaccination, the Flames appear to be enjoying the start of November. Dion Phaneuf scored halfway through overtime to give the Calgary Flames their second overtime road win in two nights. The Flames lead for most of the game after...
Flames Sneak a Win in Dallas
The Calgary Flames made headlines today for their scandalous H1N1 vaccination controversy and then kept on sneaking around to get themselves a victory in Dallas.After being called out by coach Brent Sutter for his lacklustre play, Jarome Iginla lead the Flames with 2 goals and 1 assist...
Game Day Links
"Back in the old days" (i.e. 2005-2006) I used to do a pre-game post as often as I could. But with the abundance of pre-game posts, predictions and previews out there in the Flames Blogosphere today, I decided to try something different. Starting today, I'm going to post...
Halloween Spooktacular
The Detroit Red Wings are in town tonight to face the Flames for the first time this season. One-time Flames winger Todd Bertuzzi will make his return to the Saddledome. The game will be aired on CBC at 8pm as part of a Halloween triple-header.Fans will definitely be dressed up, and...
Battle of Alberta #3 no Snoozer
Earlier this week I overheard someone say, "Do you think Iggy has finally woken up?" This question came on Wednesday after Jarome's best game of the season when he scored a goal, added an assist and more importantly, lead his team to victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets...
Flames Beat Canucks. Again
The headline should read: "McGrattan Leads Flames to Victory Against Canucks" but we all know that probably won't happen in the mainstream media. Sure we'll hear about his Gordie Howe Hat Trick (even I've already tweeted that!), but McGrattan's not the type...
Are the Flames any different this Season?
The Calgary Flames roared out to a 4-0 start this season, tying the franchise record for the best start to a season. They topped the NHL standings a few games into the new season, but surely everyone knew that it wouldn't last. While some fans may have fooled themselves into believing...
Four and Oh. Go Flames Go.
Holy Cr@p! That's a comeback that I'll remember for a while! The Flames used some kind of magic tonight in Edmonton to come back from a 2-0 deficit, tie the game at 3-3 with 1.5 seconds left in the 3rd and then win it in the shootout. With the win the Flames go 4-0 to start...
Battle of Alberta v 2.0
How lucky are we?!! Two Alberta battles in 5 days!The Flames will head down the road to Edmonton again tonight to face their provincial rivals at Rexall Place. The Flames are riding a 3 game win streak while the Oilers are 1-1 to start the season. This is the first time that the Flames...
Flames vs Canadiens, For the 100th Time
As I get all psyched up for the 100th all-time meeting between the Flames and Habs tonight I need to reflect on the past 2 games to see how it will turn out tonight. The Flames have started this season with a different kind of game, but they are still showing some of the same old signs...

Flames-Canucks Post Game
The Calgary Flames exorcised some demons by winning their home opener 5-3 last night against the Vancouver Canucks. Not only was it the first time the Flames have played at home for their first game of the season, but it was also the first time they have won their first game in a looooong...
My 2009-2010 Predictions
I was recently asked to provide my predictions for the 2009-2010 NHL season as part of the NY Times Hockey Night in Blogdom series titled 30 teams in 30 minutes. I've been in analysis mode for a while now, thanks to the task of proving my friends wrong as I school them in our hockey...
Phaneuf Hit on Okposo - In Case You Missed It
Sure it's a week old, but today was actually the first time I stumbled across the video of Dion Phaneuf's hit on Kyle Okposo on September 17.I was in the Saddledome that night and saw the hit live. There has been much discussion of whether it was clean or dirty, justified or...
Welcome Home, Theo Fleury
If there was any doubt that Theo Fleury was ready to make an NHL comeback, it should be erased after last night's pre-season game, whenhe took to the NHL ice for the first time in 7 years. Not only did he show that he's still got it, but he also won the game for his old teamwith...
Flames Pre-Season Starts Tuesday
Though we're still 16 days away from the start of the 2009-2010 regular season, the Battle of Alberta lights up again as the Flames begin the pre-season by hosting the Oilers tomorrow night. The game will be streamed live on flames.nhl.com, and begins at 7:00pm and there are still...

30 Years of Flames Hockey in Calgary
The Calgary Flames launched the 30-day countdown to the start of their 30th season today by unveiling the "Retro Jersey". Make no mistake about it, this is not a 3rd jersey, it's something completely different. The retro jersey is a 1980's themed "old skool"...
Red-White Scrimmage Insight
I bought my ticket early for the Red-White scrimmage, and I'm glad I did. Before the game I thought that it would be "really good" to see more than 40 of Canada's top hockey players on the ice at the same time. "Really Good" doesn't even come close to...

Hockey Canada has released the rosters for Team Red and Team White as it prepares for the Canadian Olympic orientation camp, which begins on Monday in Calgary. The players will practice within their teams from Monday to Wednesday. The teams will face off against each other on Thursday...
