The Morning After Vegas: Flames Crushed In Vegas.....Again
Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports Calgary can’t win or score in Sin City. The Morning After Calgary Flames 2 - Vegas Golden Knights 6 RTF - NHL Standings Ugh. Another trip to Vegas turns into another loss as the Flames fell to the Golden Knights Saturday night 6-2.

Rate the Flames (2) at Golden Knights (6): Messy, messy, messy
Photo by Jeff Bottari/NHLI via Let’s just put this one behind us, shall we? Oh boy was that one not a whole lot of fun! The Flames went into Vegas tonight and once again dropped the first goal of the game. They weren’t without their life and energy, and two goals from Rasmus Andersson and Johnny Gaudreau in the span of just about 30 seconds early in the second period had the Flames reclaiming the lead and looking like they had some life back. The bad news, of course, is that this didn’t exactly hold. The Golden Knights put up five unanswered goals after that, as the Flames...

Who should be the Flames 2nd Line RW?
Photo by Brett Holmes/Icon Sportswire via Calgary has done some experimenting early in 2019-20 When the Flames brought in James Neal and Elias Lindholm in the summer of 2018, it looked like they would slot in very well alongside the previous duos of Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan, and Matthew Tkachuk and Mikael Backlund. One of those happened with Lindholm sliding in on the top line, however Neal never did work out, and now Calgary is still somewhat searching for one more consistent top six forward on the second line. For most of the last couple years that other winger has been...
