This week in Flames talk
The shows spent the week celebrating Calgary's four-game winning streak, with Matvei Gridin putting on a gritty performance in a win over Toronto. They talked about the Flames playing better at home and highlighted some encouraging signs in the goalie situation, though there was also concern about the long-term financial commitments the team might face, drawing parallels to past trades that didn't work out.
