We start today’s Flames Daily with a gorgeous sequence for Flames fans.
If fans out of Calgary just knew that Nikita would be dealing out street justice on the Oilers the way he has this second round series between Edmonton and Vancouver – it’s likely that there would have been much fewer complaints regarding the trade return.
One more highlight. Check out yesterday’s goal scored by Calgary’s Martin Pospisil.
Scoring isn’t all Martin is up to in Czechia. The 24 year old is running roughshod on a number of european defenders. For more, check out CHN’s showcase below of some straight up nasty play.

On to the Daily.
Following the NHL on any given morning, afternoon, or evening can be an arduous process. Look at one site, check another; that can take a lot out of your day. The Flames Daily finds the Flames news you may have missed and sprinkles in some drama from around the League.
For example, Philip Tomasino is one of the more fun stories on the Nashville Predators. He’s proven he is able to contribute as a game-breaking forward, but after a rough season, his work in the Calder Cup Playoffs may be his only way to maintain his status in the organization.
