About this episode
On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Wes Gilbertson break down a rough start to 2026, with the Flames losing five of six and lineup decisions coming under the microscope. The guys debate the handling of William Strömgren, a potential Dryden Hunt recall, where Hunter Brzustewicz fits on the blue line, and why Zayne Parekh’s situation likely ends with an AHL conditioning stint.
(21:41) Jonathan Davis of NHL Network Radio and VSiN joins the show to tour the Pacific Division for the first time in 2026. JD shares why he's excited to watch the Vegas Golden Knights face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs, how Quinton Byfield has been developing in LA, Macklin Celebrini's incredible season, and more!
