Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Flames Alumni Krahnicles: Martin Gelinas Part 2!
Q: How did the pressure change from being a young player to a leader in the later stages of your career?
You realize that you're not going to get into the playoffs as often as you thought when you were younger, and you have to bring more than just 'fine' in the playoffs.
Flames Alumni Krahnicles: Martin Gelinas Part 2!
Q: What was it like playing in a Game 7 Stanley Cup final?
It's a mix of hope and recognition that anything can happen; both teams are good, and it often comes down to a bounce here or there.
Postgame: The Comeback Falls Just Short
Q: Hunter, your first game of the season in the NHL, just tell us how you felt.
I think I was really nervous at first, but once I got out there, I felt pretty calm.
Talking Trades and Tanking on the Latest Mailbag!
Q: How do you determine when to pull the trigger on a trade?
You move them when you get your asking price, and that's the case with Rasmus Anderson and any of the other guys that might potentially be open to conversations.
Talking Trades and Tanking on the Latest Mailbag!
Q: Audrey, do you really think this team will have the guts to pull the plug on this thing now with how they're playing?
They're aware that they were never maybe as bad as the start began, but also aware that maybe they're not as good as a 750 points percentage.
