The Biggest Game of the Season Is Here!

On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Wes Gilbertson tee up the biggest game of the year as the Flames host the Wild in a true must-win at the Scotiabank Saddledome. With playoff hopes still hanging by a thread, the guys break down what’s at stake, how the Flames are approaching it, and what a win or loss would mean for the final stretch of the season. The guys dive into the Zayne Parekh storyline and why the highly-touted prospect won’t make his NHL debut Friday night — even with fans pushing hard for it. They react to the online backlash, share perspective from the coach and Parekh himself, and try to balance fan expectations with the team’s reality.

(30:14) The Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills looks at whether Yegor Sharangovich is trending up at the right time and whether Dustin Wolf is the right choice to start such a high-stakes game.
