The hockey world didn’t expect a whole lot from the Calgary Flames when the puck dropped on the 2024-25 season. Then the Flames rattled off four consecutive wins, and everyone began to pay attention. Ryan breaks down what’s worked over the first chunk of the Flames’ season and how sustainable their success could be.

weird for people that expect them fail. If we look at the rosters. They are solid and the play as a team.
Let’s get after it boys plan the parade!
No YOU’RE overreacting!
All joking aside the vibes are immaculate, the effort is solid, and the kids are playing and learning. That’s all we wanted as fans.
With each win, the tension and pressure builds for the team to keep it up. Hopefully they can brush it off and just keep rolling.
Flames are 4-0 and will be 5-0 after Saturday's game in Seattle . Soon Sharangovich will be back and Honzek will be sent down to the Wranglers!!
You know, with maybe a couple holes on D and goaltending still to be proven, when you look at the Flames vs the cap and what they have in $ to spend they are actually kinda stacked. $17.8mm in space and Sharangovich slotting in might be another point per game. Value for money.
So. Conny. Huska's Hustlers. It starts from the top.
