On hour one of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon break down the start of the Flames' final road trip, following a 6-3 loss in Vegas that has the team on the brink of official playoff elimination. The guys discuss why "playing out the string" is still a vital time for the franchise, focusing on the lessons to be learned from young players in elevated roles—including recent recalls Aydar Suniev and Brennan Othmann. They also look at the need for better game management on the road and why discipline remains a major hurdle for the group.
(31:31) On the Daily Flames Roundtable with Derek Wills, the crew reacts to the recall of Aydar Suniev, which brings the Flames' active roster to a staggering 17 forwards. They debate how the coaching staff will navigate the "logjam" over the final seven games and put their necks on the line to predict which team—Anaheim, Vegas, or Edmonton—is truly the favorite to come out of the Pacific Division.
