Always in, never close. That's Brad Treliving's MO as the Flames lose out on Jack Eichel to the Vegas Golden Knights. We expected it but it's frustrating nonetheless. We're breaking down the Eichel fallout, including more Matthew Tkachuk drama, and trying to figure out where the Flames go from here.

There were also two hockey games to get to as the Flames dropped tough OT losses to Nashville and Dallas (thanks refs).

The Calgary Flames may be officially good. Darryl Sutter has the boys rolling and they've picked up points in seven of eight games played this year and are riding high after crushing the Flyers on Saturday.

We're breaking down what Sutter has done to yield these results and pretty much gushing about Jacob Markstrom for an hour. Enjoy.

The Flames have won four straight games. I repeat: the Flames have won four straight games. Elias Lindholm took down Washington, Jacob Markstrom and Blake Coleman's group led the way against New York, and Andrew Mangiapane stayed red hot against New Jersey.

We're breaking down the four-game win streak as well as talking some Darryl Sutter and just how good Elias Lindholm and Andrew Mangiapane have been.

The Flames blew a third period lead to the Anaheim Ducks, despite dominating them all night, but, on the back of Jacob Markstrom, picked up their first win of the season against the Wings last night.

The road trip continues on Saturday in Washington.

The Flames made it 12 straight season-opening losses falling 5-2 to the losers up in Edmonton. We're breaking it down goal by goal today, chatting about our expectations for Darryl Sutter's Flames this year, and taking your hot takes into consideration. Oh, and a bit of Sam Bennett talk. The home opener goes tomorrow.

The preseason is almost over and the Flames are looking kind of meh. The defence is a mess as everyone not named Oliver Kylington or Chris Tanev has struggled. There are still a few spots up for grabs and nobody in the bottom six has impressed either. Are we too quick to panic? Probably. 2021-22 is 'In Sutter We Trust'...for better or worse.

Also, Connor McWhiner is on our nerves again.

Also, also, apparently we were VERY CLOSE to getting Jack Eichel lol.

Brad Treliving is, once again, assembling the Infinity Gauntlet of expensive, not very good, tough hockey players. He quickly gobbled up the free cap space by signing Erik Gudbranson, Mike Stone, and Brad Richardson this past week.

We're here to break it down, complain, and wonder why the Flames continually do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

Enjoy, homies.
