  • Entertaining and Sharp

    If you get past Pinder’s arrogance, his analytical strategy is interesting. I’ve know Rhett since he was 15. He was a true pro as a player, sharp wit and great guy. Had the pleasure of working close to Boomer for years. Wonderful moderator. Quality announcer with a fantastic sense of humour. No one close to these guys in Western Canada. Now if he can continue to work on

  • The boys are the best. Do you love the Calgary Flames and want real discussions about the team and the trajectory? This is for you. Plus, they also have a lot of fun (and spirited debates lol).

    Best Flames podcast by a country mile.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Free Agency Preview Ft. TSN's Noodles | FN Barn Burner - June 30th, 2026
Q: What are the Flames likely to do with their currency in free agency?
They'll look for smart, value-based adds or under-the-radar moves, potentially trading some younger assets alongside picks to acquire players who can fit immediately, while avoiding overspending on cap-heavy deals.
Jim Playfair (FULL INTERVIEW)
Q: What was your approach to developing a young player like Carson Carels when you joined the Flames organization?
I focused on building a foundation with seven core details for defense and consistency, then gradually added elements to sharpen his game, making sure he could handle the expectations at the NHL level while preserving his character and work ethic.
Mike Rupp (FULL INTERVIEW)
Q: Do you think Nemec is a top-four defenseman on a good team someday?
Rupp argues that while Nemec has top-four potential, the current assessment is that he's not yet there on a strong team and needs more development and consistent minutes.
Mike Rupp (FULL INTERVIEW)
Q: So what does that mean for Nemec to play 20 plus minutes a night?
Rupper explains that Nemec needs heavy minutes to unlock offensive instincts and improve defensively, suggesting he could become a top-six/second-pairing contributor if given sustained opportunity.
Digging Into The 2026 NHL Draft w/Byron Bader | FN Back Burner - May 29th, 2026
Q: Byron, what are your thoughts on the Brustewicz?
Byron responds that Brustewicz is an example of a player who has shown potential in the Flames system and in his model, but the discussion also touches on how development can vary and how his projection could shift with another strong year.
