They had the advantage in possession pretty well the entire game but had to work their way back after the Ducks kept capitalizing. Calgary doesn't give up much ...

I feel bad for one goal – the nasty screen – I don’t think anyone was stopping that shot. xGF% – Michael Stone (79.24%) has the spirit of Calgary inside him – that was a big goal needed from this hockey club. Now you’re right back in the swing of things trying to help – and make no mistake Stone does indeed help the offence for this club. That tired them out so much on the second half of their back-to-back the Flames were able to jump ahead and seal the much needed victory. Ultimately the Flames got the win marching forward towards a huge match-up in Winnipeg, but first the Blackhawks. Some of that’s on the defence but a fair amount is in the crease too.

However, it’s contributions from players like Mangiapane and even someone like Milan Lucic that have helped the Flames stay in the fight. Their only game against a team in that position is the Flames. So, now that everyone is below 10 games remaining, what does each team’s schedule look like the rest of the way? They have games against Nashville and Calgary, as well as one with the Sharks. The Jets haven’t been able to separate themselves from the pack after having a relatively solid lead over Calgary and Nashville, as their record in their last 10 games is 5-5-0. The Calgary Flames have made things interesting, coming within two points of the Winnipeg Jets, but the Nashville Predators are also close behind with two games in hand.

All season, it’s felt like the Flames were capable of getting hot and going on a nice streak, but it hasn’t happened until now. They’re still getting the puck deep and trying to create traffic in front. Watching the past two games, it’s been hard to identify what, if anything, the Flames have done differently. The one time in the third period where they got in our zone and I was out there, our zone was pretty fresh. One of those, on Wednesday, happens to be a head-to-head. They remain two points back of the Jets, who hold the Western Conference’s second wildcard spot, with five games to play. Winnipeg won, so we needed to do our part. Article content

Looking at the remaining games in the 2022–23 NHL schedule for the Calgary Flames and Seattle Kraken to see how the Flames could make a pass.

If the Kraken go 2–4–1 to end the season, the math definitely works. First things first, the Flames have little margin for error, even if they go 4–0–1 to end the season, they would need some serious help on the Seattle side. The Calgary Flames currently have five games left, and sit at 87 points on the season.

But as we've reported: Never say never, but Dallas has moved on from Zeke, and the Cowboys' suggestion that the "door is open'' for his return is more a matter of respect than it is a matter of fact. I wanted to pick her pocket, but I had a moment at the end of the game, and I was in my bag. The Dallas Cowboys are locked in to Tony Pollard being the lead back in 2023, and we have suggested that maybe they leave him on his one-year franchise tag deal of $10 million because they may use this NFL Draft to find a cheap heir. After months of petitions and campaigns to restore the naming rights of the Pittsburgh Steelers and University of Pittsburgh Panthers stadium, it appears that everyone will be treated to the best of both worlds. Rooney recalled local high school and collegiate football venues that often share different names for their stadium and field, and that the NFL has no such restrictions on “dual naming” of locations, such as the former Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City or Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. According to ESPN, the Buccaneers finished last season 25th in scoring with an average of 18.4 points per game and dead last with an average of 76.9 rushing yards per contest. I doubt I have to talk too much about why a combination of McDavid and Draisaitl work together, as the two have sat in the top five in scoring for the past five seasons. And that’s exactly the type of effort that they’re going to need if they’re going to get in. It’s the stereotypical line combination for a reason, as the playmaker moves the puck up the ice and sets up the chances, the sniper buries the initial set-up and the power forward is there to create chaos in front of the net and occasionally tip home or get the rebound on the shots the sniper doesn’t finish. The Jets' schedule is a little bit harder, and the Flames is a little bit easier, four very, very winnable games after that one coming down the stretch for the Calgary Flames. Heck of a time for the Calgary Flames to find that little extra gear knowing that their backs are against the wall. To me, it was the Flames in the sense that they showed they have a heartbeat.
