Craig has been a busy cat this summer. While he may not get all the shining accolades and stars other GM’s get around the league for their big moves, we think he’s quietly building a wagon. Summer of Craig? Nah, it’s Craig Conroy Summer. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So much for the slow and boring off-season. Craig Conroy and his fellow GM’s blew our socks off this week with some pre draft blockbusters. The Flames acquired former second overall pick Simon Nemec in a massive trade with the New Jersey Devils. Conny is making moves but is it worth the hype? Let’s discuss. Hosted on Acast.

Once again our hopes and dreams resting on a conditional pick are crushed but hey, good on old Janko and the Canes. We’re breaking down how impressive Carolina’s cup run was and how the Flames can take cues from how Eric Tulsky and co built a wagon. We’re also checking in with our friends up north as the Oilers make news for all the wrong reasons. And to wrap, we’re sending a plea to Cale Makar to not sign an extension with the Avs and be the saviour of Calgary. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dogs days of summer over here in Flamesnation as we await the draft. Today we're seeing what you hooligans think about the state of the Flames in our annual fan poll. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

No Kadri, Weegar, Andersson? No problem apparently. The Flames are somehow HOT despite being a skeleton crew...a little TOO hot tbh. We're breaking down the four game winning streak that has Flames fans experiencing a little PTSD as we hurdle towards the draft lottery. LET'S KEEP SIGHT OF MISSION MCKENNA HERE GUYS.
