Geez, and the little guys are sick of Burkie yipping truculence. They played a big man's game against a much larger team. I wish they were a little bigger, but I stopped questioning their heart about week 2. They have more finish around the net than they've had since '89, IMO.

....and they did, even if it took 13 shooters in the shoot out to do it. Always good for the Flames when a western conference rival gets beat. Especially by a team that is no threat to them. 
The Flames win against the Jets was beauty, very good game to watch.

Up 3-1 on the sharks.
Flames look good. Though Hillier is giving out huge rebounds and seems to be fighting the puck. Perhaps he needs a break coming up against Pittsburgh.
Gota win this game, it launches us to 2nd in the Pacific.
These guys are starting to look like the real deal.

Nice win, and they leap frog past Jets, Canucks, and Sharks to No. #2 in the Pacific Division behind Ducks. Now, if they can just keep it up for another 30 games or so.... I'm really impressed how everyone is contributing though, they've had something like 15 players score in the last 10 games, eight of which they won. Russell getting his tonight was a monkey off his back, he's such a hard worker, plays Big for his size, and will block anything he sees.
A gutsy bunch, and fun to watch every game.

Hiller* likes to choke in the playoffs and he's not going to help the Flames get anywhere. Flames goaltending is extremely weak when compared to teams like the Ducks who have 2 insane goalies and an even better one getting back into shape in the AHL. You know their goaltending is good when the Flames best goalie was the Ducks expendable goalie.

Not a bad run for no goaltending...........
Looking good so far. 4 out 5 at home. 8 and 2 in the last 10. I wouldn't have started Hillier tonight. Its not a must win. SJ, Van and LA coming up. Those are must wins.
2 Times now in the last 2 games, I have seen the need or want for a Mcgrattan.
Its only going to get more nasty as we move towards the end of the season.

Come on goal tending has been better than good! UNder 1.5 goals a game since Hiller back in net. Strong as he was at begining of season. Will be interesting with Lundquist out if Ramo gets traded to make room for standout AHL goalie 😊

I like Ramo despite some of his less than spectacular moments, but I like Ortio better.....I wouldn't mind if they brought him up. Throw him in for a few games, and then put Hiller back in to earn his 'starting goalie' spot, he plays so much better with motivation.

Flames are owning some teams this year, Sharks anyways.
I still see the bigger teams have more possession time in Flames end but Flames don't panic, it's how they defend against what the opposition does after that that impresses me.
We will see how the stretch play-off run goes.

Agree that Bouma was outstanding last night. He seems to really be coming in to himself, playing with great confidence. Impressive for a young guy only in his second year. But then, look at Johnny G.! Still a long way to the finish line, but they are playing like they mean to get there ahead of the pack. Too bad Canucks lost last night...

No jest, very pleased that Minnesota beat them 5-3. Keeps them looking up at the Flames.

Much needed 2 points tonight.
Good game to watch.
This race for the playoffs has me sitting on the edge of my seat. You guys up north should try it some time.
I think our chances of making the playoffs is around 85%. Easily changed though.

Another incredible win tonight. Down 3-0 in the second and came back to win against the burly Bruins in OT with a last second rush to the net and a lucky goal. Hurdler is a point-generating sorcerer as of late. Way to go, boys. You're in the hunt.

Flames games are exciting, half the games anyways, but I still fear the worst in the next 6-7 weeks.
I just can't see the Kings and Sharks not making the playoffs, so someone has to come up a bit short.

In the farthest reaches of my mind, the above pops up. But as this season goes, it pops up less and less.
Lets get rid of Ramo and bring Ortio back up.
Sam Bennett is healthy once again. Not sure where he is going to play, but I would like to see him. If he is as good as they say, it might put Calgary over the top.

I don't. Care who beats the Bruins
No doubt the flames are palatable , if they can go in the tank
Why can't they get better . In a 82 game schedule lots
Of teams go to sleep in the last 20 games .
It's going to be an exciting finish , surprise of the year
Besides Calgary ..Predators I wonder if their fans know .
Nice job on the teddy bears ,

Was a great comeback again, I wish they could put more points up earlier though in the game....freaks me out watching sometimes.
I agree with Jamie, Ramo needs to go, and bring Ortio back up to spell Hiller. I expected more from Ramo, but he is spotty at best. Stellar when he is on, bad when he is off.

Twisted, they are afraid they would lose him on waivers. I say who cares. Orto not being here hurts us . Surely they could get some sort of draft pick for him.

Oh well, get a bag of pucks for him I say. I used to like him, but now he just scares me when he is between the pipes. And while they are at it, get rid of Stajan too. He is deadweight and underperforming. At least Raymond finally woke up.
