On Tuesday, the Flames assigned Connor Zary and Brayden…

CF% – 53.91%|| SCF% – 54.08%|| HDCF% – 50.38%|| xGF% – 61.48% It’s a Team Game – It feels weird to say, because they obviously got blown out,…

Oh boy. We all knew the Calgary Flames were not going to be a good team this season, but I don’t think anyone saw this start coming. The Flames have been outscored 16-3 by the Vancouver Canucks and Seattle Kraken, two teams that are projected to be in the basement of the NHL standings along…
