In the Dome: Calgary Flames Fan Podcast

The Vegas Golden Knights are once again bullying the entire league and pissing everyone off…we’re over here just green with envy wishing the Flames could take some pages out of the Vegas playbook. So today, we’re hardcore glazing Vegas and looking at what Craig Conroy’s draft strategy should be with the NHL Entry draft a month out (trust us, we are the experts Craig).  Hosted on Acast.

Not a ton going on in Flames land these days BUT we have some Oilers news/incompetence to laugh at in the meantime. Also, watching the Ducks and Habs success coming out of rebuild cycles, we're hoping Conroy and the Flames are closely paying attention to how both of those teams we're built and the importance of patience.

Playoffs are in full swing so that means our annual tradition of hate watching the Greaseballs begins. The Ducks are hanging in there with the greasy pigs so that's encouraging. It also means the annual tradition of Edmonton's finest beating the crap out of each other and biting one another's ears off! We're also checking in on Flames locker day clean out, what we liked, what we didn't like, and how we're feeling after the dust has settled. Go Flames Go Hosted on Acast.

You just knew they were going to win that last one, didn't you? Anyways, ZP19 scored a beauty and is looking great and it's the lowest Flames finish in a long ass time so, we can't complain. Go Flames Go Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The tank rolls on but some of the new young guns are starting to look mighty fine in the pro ranks. Specifically Matvei Gridin. He’s up to 11 points in his last 15 games and is putting up numbers few Flames teenage rookies have touched in the last 20 years. Today we’re checking in on his rookie season and getting stoked on what his elite talent could do for the Flames for years to come. Go Flames Go  Hosted on Acast.

With eight games remaining the Flames find themselves STILL in a prime tank position (despite their little heater on the homestand). With a tough sked coming up (mostly on the road) we're crossing our fingers the boys can secure the bag and finish in the bottom three. Oh, and one other thing...our old friend, pal, buddy, and fearless leader, Boston Pizza Jr errhhh I mean Brad Treliving, is out of a job in Toronto. WE WARNED THEM! Go Flames Go. Hosted on Acast.

Trade deadline is just days away and for once(!) it seems the Flames have assets everybody wants and prices seem to be set pretty, pretty, high.

Zayne Parekh had himself an excellent showing at the 2026 World Juniors setting a new all time record for points by a dman for team Canada in a single tournament. HOWEVER, this was for some God forsaken reason over shadowed by a bunch of media and team induced BS. We're breaking down what we saw from ZP19 and Cole Reschny in Canada's bronze medal effort and obviously talking about the absolute clown show coming from the media regarding some of Zayne's comments.

We're still slogging away! As the season keeps on rolling the momentum of the tank has slowed slightly and, while the Flames still find themselves in a good spot in Mission: Mckenna, some trades would really go a long way in securing that top pick. We're talking tank and how the Flames need to get their heads out of the past. All we want for Christmas is a nice big trade. Merry Christmas, boys! (Or happy Festivus for those that celebrate).

Old Don Maloney found a way to top his viral 'rebiggle' TV hit that had everyone up in arms in a two part interview with Eric Francis this week. Not only did the Flames fearless leader walk back any of his rambling statements - he dumped a tank of gasoline on them and dug his heels in even harder! We're breaking down Maloney's delusional errr I mean defiant sit down with Francis.Go Flames Go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

While the tank rolls on we keep hearing reports that the Flames still aren’t ready to throw in the towel on the season and still aren’t keen on selling off their remaining veteran players. We’re breaking all that down as well as getting into Don Maloney’s ‘interesting’ intermission interview in Buffalo last night.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It seems like the tank is truly here. The Flames not only went the whole week without a W...they almost went the whole week without even scoring! After getting embarrassed by Connor Bedard (first overall pick btw) and the Hawks, blanked the Wild, the Flames are well on their way to Mission: Mckenna after winning (losing?) the Tank Bowl vs the Blues. The tank is here. And it's immaculate (besides Ryan Huska's nonsense).Go Flames Go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Flames have been continuing their tanking ways in the first month of the season and, while this is all well and good, the topic of Zayne Parekh's usage and development remains a sticking point. Spoiler alert: we have a hot take on the matter (that really shouldn't be all that hot).Go Flames Go Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 2025-26 NHL season is upon us.

Should be a fun year! Go Flames Go. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We couldn't help ourselves but get into the McDavid drama, boys (we live for this!).

Hey, fellas. Flamesnation OG and all around great guy Kent Wilson jumped on with us today to discuss where the Flames are at, where they're going, and what pitfalls they need to avoid heading through this cycle of team building.

Hey, buddies. Our palls over at Daily Faceoff were speculating Conny and the Flames may be looking to go big in the UFA market this off-season. While this is unlikely, since we have nothing better do while we're relegated to benchwarming the Panthers and Oilers, we thought we'd talk about the idea of adding in free agency and our preferences for Flames moves this summer.Have a good one, boys. Keep your chin up and let's go Panthers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ugh. Once again the Greasers seem destined for the finals. Meanwhile we're just sitting on the sideline. Today we're begrudgingly talking about the Oilers domination of the Stars and hoping the Panthers have an answer (again). We're also hoping the Oilers success lights a fire under the Flames organization to start getting serious about producing a Cup contending club and discussing how close / far the Flames are to being a contender.
