About this episode
On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Wes Gilbertson open the hour by setting the stage for another critical Flames game, this time against Anaheim. After grinding out a win in San Jose, the margin for error is gone with five games left. The guys highlight the importance of better starts — something the team has struggled with lately — and discuss Adam Klapka’s promotion to the top line with Kadri and Pospisil. Plus, a spotlight on Justin Kirkland, Calgary’s nominee for the Bill Masterton Trophy, whose perseverance through injuries and setbacks has made him one of the best stories of the season. Kirkland joins the show to talk about the nomination, his recovery, and what comes next.
(33:12) On the Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills, the guys dig into what Klapka needs to show to stick in his top-line role, and whether Dustin Wolf’s fifth straight start signals he’s the guy in net until the Flames are out of the playoff race.
