Flames Talk

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat and Aaron lay out the full playoff picture after Sunday’s 5-2 win over San Jose kept the Flames alive. With two games left, Calgary needs help — a Minnesota regulation loss, a St. Louis loss or OT win — to stay in the race. Pat breaks down every possible scenario heading into Tuesday and what the Flames would need to do against Vegas and L.A. The guys also talk about what it would say about this team if they actually pull it off, and why backing into the playoffs shouldn’t cut it for Minnesota or St. Louis.

(32:45) Wranglers head coach Joe Cirella joins the show after his team clinched a playoff spot over the weekend. He recaps their two big wins against Abbotsford, gives props to players like Frk, Brzustewicz, Davis and Ignatew, and talks mindset heading into the final two regular season games.
