The Jack Adams Award for the best coach during a given season has in recent vintage gone to numbnuts coaches who have helmed teams who drastically outscore their woeful posession numbers. Last year’s winner, Bob Hartley, proved no different as the Flames made a surprise entrance into the post-season and actually won a round against the hilariously mediocre Vancover Canucks. But as so often proves to be the case, a new season provides a violent market correction, and this year’s iteration of the Flames is not an exception.

Chet’s Nuts Roasting on an Open Fire: Flames Nation, M & G

Having played 10 of their last 12 games on the road, the Hawks will now close out December and 2014 with 5 of their next 7 at Club 1901. That stretch begins tonight against the visiting Flames to close out the inter-divisional season series.

Live From The Five Hole

It’s time once again for another rousing edition of our podcast, Live From The Five Hole. This time Chris Block of The Third Man In joins the fray to elaborate on the comings and goings from Rock Vegas. Ryan Lambert of Puck Daddy, Deadspin, and other even more nefarious reaches of the internet (we assume) also offers insight on not only why the Flames have been so surprisingly good this season, but also some of the scoop on Jack Eichel and his pro prospect status coming out of Boston University.

Stick it in your ears here.

Burkie’s Fightin’ Barn: Flames Nation

For the first time in like 58 meetings or some unholy number, the Flames actually marched into the United Center last November and emerged with two points thanks to Kris Russel’s seeing-eye overtime point shot that eluded Corey Crawford, one too many points left on the table by last year’s Hawks team. Both teams are in similar positions nearly a year later, with the Hawks maintaining championship aspirations, and the Flames still figuring out how to be competitive in the post Iginla era.
