Theo Stockselius and Flames’ college kids shined this past week
Friends, it’s no big secret that it’s a tough time for the Calgary Flames right now. Through seven games in the 2026-27 season, they have one win. But if you take a look into the future – the near future – there’s help on the way. The entry-level system will most likely see (at least) six…
Should the Flames trade for Simon Edvinsson or Alexander Nikishin?
Defence wins championships. Early into the Calgary Flames’ rebuild, their need for the prospect pool is game-changing centres. Cole Reschny, Jack Hextall, and Cullen Potter look solid, but none of those three profiles as a superstar centre who’ll contend for Art Ross Trophies. That may take some time, which isn’t always a bad thing in…

Could Aydar Suniev lead the Flames in scoring this season?
It’s still early, and Aydar Suniev is only three games into his season, but combining his preseason performance with what we’ve seen through three games, it looks like Suniev could be one of the Calgary Flames’ most productive players this season. On a Flames team that struggles to score goals, Suniev could easily be among…

Saturday’s game was the Calgary Flames’ best game of the season. While they may have lost 4-2 to move their season record to 0-5-0, it was the first time all season that the Flames looked like a National Hockey League calibre team. A loss is a loss, but there were some positive takeaways from this…

Putting the Flames’ tough start into historical context
The Calgary Flames are making history to start the 2026-27 season, but probably not the type of history they wanted to be making.
