The Calgary Flames fell 4-1 in the penultimate game of the 2023-24 season to the Vancouver Canucks, but even though the score might seem a bit lopsided with the Flames not scoring a goal until the third period from Brayden Pachal (his second of the season) head coach Ryan Huska was a fan of the team’s effort and output.
The Calgary Flames have been in ‘small victory’ mode for a long while so let’s take a look at a glimmer of positivity amidst this tank, oops, sorry, stretch drive.
The Calgary Flames don’t currently have a core. Yes, they have some strong veteran players. They also have some promising young prospects. But they don’t have the foundational pieces that every contending team in the National Hockey League has built around.
The Calgary Flames didn’t have a great first period on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. But man, if you toss out the first 10 minutes or so, they were really good against a Sharks team that entered the game with the 32nd-best record out of the NHL’s 32 teams.

The Calgary Flames were hoping to shake off a bad outing in Florida when they headed to Raleigh to visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon. It didn’t turn out that way, as the Flames were pretty thoroughly out-played for the first 25-30 minutes and couldn’t put together a comeback in a 7-2 loss to Carolina.
