Calgary Flames Daily: Struggles Continue on Home Ice
Good afternoon Calgary Flames fans! Let’s see what’s been happening in the last 24 hours in Flames and hockey world.
There isn’t a whole lot of news surrounding the Calgary Flames in the last 24 hours. Except, you know, losing to the Anaheim Ducks last night. That’s never fun, especially to the Ducks.
The Flames special teams costed them and they lost 3-1 to the Ducks on home ice, keeping them below 0.500 at home. They had a chance to become 0.500 at home for the first time this season with a win, but unfortunately they’re now 8-10-0 at the Dome.
Via the Calgary Herald: “The frustrating part for me, there was some cheating going on in our group with a couple of players,” said Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan. “That can’t happen. If you’re going to play these types of games and this is a playoff-type game, there’s no margin for cheating.”

Calgary Flames GM Brad Treliving had spoken to the media earlier this week and said that the team needs to be more disciplined. The Flames have gone the last 72 games as the most penalized team in the NHL. It’s a little weird seeing how they went 130 game before that as the least penalized team.
Via Calgary Herald again: “That’s a little interesting,” Treliving said. “I don’t know what’s gone on. Before we start looking at the sniper in the bush, we want to make sure we’re looking at ourselves first to see if there’s things we can manage. But we can’t expect to win if you’re killing five or six penalties a night.”
Hm, interesting Treliving? Sure, interesting. Cough cough Wideman Gate 2016 cough cough.
