  • Horrible takes

    My god you guys talk like you have experience matching NHL coaches and GMs. Tkachuk has had 10 games slightly off and you think he’s taking off? You switch options as inconsistent as the Flames.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Klapka Finding Role with Flames – Flames Unfiltered – Episode 270
Q: Will the Calgary Flames pick in the top three of the 2026 NHL draft?
Kyle thinks it's unlikely but admits a top five pick is possible depending on future trades and the team's performance.
Klapka Finding Role with Flames – Flames Unfiltered – Episode 270
Q: How many of the following players will be on the Calgary Flames 26-27 opening night roster? Codrey, Anderson and Coleman?
Kyle believes none of these players will be on the roster come the 2026 season, which would indicate a significant shift for the team.
The Back-up Goalie Plan – Flames Unfiltered – Episode 260
Q: What should the priority be for a trade return on Anderson?
A playmaking center as the Flames might not get a blue-chip prospect for Anderson at this point.
Offseason Questions for Calgary Flames – Flames Unfiltered – Episode 251
Q: What's your take on the new CBA changes regarding the 84-game regular season and reduced preseason?
Not a fan of 84 games, the preseason should be reduced, and the season should end earlier to avoid summer hockey fatigue.
Offseason Questions for Calgary Flames – Flames Unfiltered – Episode 251
Q: Does Anderson get moved this summer?
I hope so, especially with potential injuries and progression affecting team needs, someone will offer a good deal.
