Pals, I am researching for some stuff on the site later in the summer, but I am curious: what do you feel are Saddledome must-dos for fans before the building closes up in 2027?

New on my YouTube feed, I get into Aydar Suniev's signing: why he's exciting, why the Flames wanted to sign him now, and what his development could tell us about the Conroy Era in Calgary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h74k...

Pals, please send me your questions for the FlamesNation mailbag!

Friends, please send me your questions for a "Ryan's on a plane" edition of the FlamesNation mailbag, to be published on Monday when Ryan is on a plane. (I have some leftover Qs from y'all from last week I'll be answering too, so don't fret!)

Gang, send me questions for the weekly FlamesNation mailbag please!

New on my YouTube channel: hey, let's talk about six Flames prospects you should watch during the remainder of this season! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeJC...

Hey can you please send me your questions for the FlamesNation mailbag column? Thanks!

Following Canada/Sweden, join Ryan Pinder and myself for a post-game discussion! www.youtube.com/watch?v=enFa...

Jumped on Global this morning to discuss the #Flames' season thus far! globalnews.ca/video/110155...

Please send me your Flames questions for the weekly FlamesNation mailbag!

Hey pals, please send me your mailbag questions for the weekly FlamesNation mailbag column. Thanks!

We've got a trade to discuss! New on my YouTube channel, check out my bleary-eyed analysis of the big #Flames/Flyers swap! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OYo...

Thursday's Flames/Sabres game begins the countdown of the final 100 regular season games at the Scotiabank Saddledome. flamesnation.ca/news/the-fin...

We did our best to work through the CBA to figure out how the CHL/NCAA stuff should work. flamesnation.ca/news/the-nhl...

Wednesday at FlamesNation, we'll dig into what the CBA says about the NHL rights of drafted players and the potential implications of CHL-drafted players going to the NCAA.

New on my YouTube channel: the #Flames were expected to be pretty bad this year... but they're not. How is a team that many expected to be a cellar-dweller flirting with a playoff spot through 40 games? I dig into four ways they've surprised. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4xg...

In advance of Dustin Wolf's start against San Jose, earlier this week we dug into his 2024 progression at FlamesNation. flamesnation.ca/news/flames-...

New on my YouTube channel: after Buffalo's 2021 expansion draft protected list popped up on my feed this week I asked myself: what do the Flames have to show for their protected list? www.youtube.com/watch?v=ars5...

Man, Dustin Wolf had a fascinating 2024, starting the year as the organization's number-three goalie and ending as the calendar year's leader in wins by a goalie. flamesnation.ca/news/flames-...

With assistant coach Brad Larsen tending to family matters, the Flames (and Wranglers) announced some interim coaching shuffles on Sunday. flamesnation.ca/news/flames-...

Flames youngster Jakob Pelletier seemed to lack confidence and swagger after a 2023 injury (and a Feb. 2024 near re-injury). He's managed to get it back over the past few months. flamesnation.ca/news/how-fla...

Hey pals it's mailbag time, so please send your questions for the FlamesNation mailbag!

Pinder and Pike on After Burner! Now-ish! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnrB...

Before you settle in for the Flames game with the Dallas Stars, check out my detailed breakdown of the Scotia Place design plans on my YouTube channel. It'll be fun! (Probably!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MUg...

It's mailbag time! Please send me your questions for the FlamesNation mailbag! Thanks!

2:23 into the overtime period, Dan Vladar made a save on Robert Thomas. What happened next is a matter open to a bit of interpretation. flamesnation.ca/news/flames-...

#Flames fans, prepping some year-end content for the site. I'm curious: what was your favorite Flames goal from 2024? (I've mentioned how much I like the Zary and Coronato OT winners, for example.) What are yours?

Happy December! It's mailbag time, so please send me your questions for the FlamesNation mailbag!

Happy (American) Thanksgiving, now let's delve into the math behind the #Flames' playoff chances, with historical trends and analyses from smart people! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFdx...

The Flames are among the NHL's best teams after 21 games. Yes, the same Flames that were expected to be pretty lousy this season. I try to make sense of it over on my YouTube feed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwCJ...

If you have questions for the FlamesNation mailbag, please send me those questions! Thanks!

The #Flames PP was no good against Nashville, but their penalty kill was a difference-maker in a close win. flamesnation.ca/news/calgary...

Over at YouTube, made a video detailing the many, many trade conditions impacting the #Flames' 2025 draft choices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNA0...

ICYMI: Over at my YouTube channel, I took a look at how the #Flames' search for their franchise centre in the 2025 NHL Draft is shaping up so far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LviH...

Through six starts, Flames goaltender Dustin Wolf is 5th among all NHL goalies who've played 60+ 5v5 minutes in 5v5 save percentage. He's stopped 95.2% of the shots he's faced at 5v5.
