Frost has fit like a glove. Farabee is fighting it; had two or three tap-ins that he missed against the Capitals. On his birthday of all days.

It looks like almost all of his goals have been from in-tight this season. He got about 30% of his goals from further out in previous seasons. Wonder what's going on there.

Good read Trevor!

Tampa is a good squad. Lets hope Wolf brings his A-game.
Go Flames!

Thanks Trevor. Little typo on your blog, should say Lightening 70 pts not Capitals, but I got the drift.
7 in a row for the L, they are due for a loss. Coleman should be motivated after the high praise from Cooper. Hopefully he can drag Backs back up to speed.
Still like to see Zary and Sharan trade spots, love see if he has any chemistry with Frost.
That shot by Coronato last game was special, like that Hubs thinks he can some day score 40
Anyone else notice Francis during the 1st period slipping up and saying titty? Ryan Leslie could barely keep a straight face.
Flames need to get off to a fast start again, put Tampa on their heels.

Great trade.i like them both, Frost is playing with a lot of confidence while Farabee has shown some bright spots.
How’s Kuzmenko getting along with Torts? Pelletier?

Edit: I did my 8 winters in Calgary, loved the city but needed to get back to B.C.

After 15 years away from Alberta winters I have been questioning my decision to move back.

Calgarys a great place to live. I really loved my time there. Economy chased me back to B.C.
Mexico is pretty nice in the winter. Just finishing up an awesome road trip through the interior back to Sayulita tomorrow. Stopping in Tequila at a distillery picking up 25 litres of tequila for my daughter’s wedding in a few weeks.
Cheers Duran.

Latin America is great to live but damn tough to make money. Canada is the poops to live but much easire to make a living. After 15 years in Ecuador, I am in make money mode.

Have you been to the Huasteca Potosina? That is on my bucket list. Looks amazing.

No I haven’t, have to look it up. Was just in Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Dolores Hilgaro, San Miguel and now Lake Chapala, great trip.

2 games and Flames can't score a goal.

If only they had some high end talent.

Glad they gave another start to Vladar. He is plying like he wants to stay in Florida.

Now that Knight is gone.... maybe

Carolina, Philly, Dallas left on this road trip.... we lose these 3 in regulation and we likely have a top 10 pick on trade deadline day.
What does Conny do on Friday if that plays out?

Depth players like Hanley and Rooney traded. I don’t think you see much more unless it’s a hockey trade. This summer there may be more trades of guys like Andersson or Coleman types.

I think you're probably right but I wonder if reality sets in for management and the players if we come home from this trip with 2 or 3 points out of 12.

As good and important as they are, if the return is solid I would strongly consider moving Naz and Coleman with some retention.

Totally agree. Unfortunately the Canucks are sucking as well and giving false hope to the race.
Be nice if they sent more assets packing. It’s the only way to get top end talent.

In other news Parekh top 6 in scoring, 4 away from his record. Battaglia 11th and Misa and Mews in the top 20.
Stick to the plan.

Thanks Trev.

Wowza Flames and Canucks literally circling themselves right around the drain that is the WC spot. Literally giving it away...

Flames schedule in March is tough!
Road - CAR, PHI, DAL, TOR, NYR, NJ, NYI, EDM, COL
Home - COL, DAL

Out on a limb here but I predict were picking 7 or 8 by the end of March.
Hopefully Conny was paying attention when Burkie was teaching intelectual honesty.

Would love to get another 2026 1st rounder. I agree with Deddie we should be retaining on Kadri to get a very good return while demand is there. If offers stink like GM's notoriously like to float out there, then fine, but Conroy needs to stick to the rebuild plan. Andersen should be on the table for the right price if this road trip continues like the last 2 games. Surely Conroy must see that this isnt a playoff team.
