On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Wes Gilbertson dig into the state of the Calgary Flames as the team hits the quarter mark of the season. Pat breaks down Don Maloney’s comments on why fans reacted so strongly to them, and why he wasn’t expecting anything more transparent from management at this stage of the year. The guys discuss the ongoing frustration in the market, what management can realistically say publicly, and why big internal decisions may be closer than people think. They also dive into how the Flames should approach the coming months, the balance between veterans and young players, and whether a big-picture shift feels inevitable given where the club sits in the standings.

(32:12) The Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills, Wes, and Pat discusses how much Wednesday night needs to be a true building block for Yegor Sharangovich and their first impressions of John Beecher in his Flames debut after being claimed off waivers.
