Our Editor's Take

The Calgary Flames are one of the stronger teams in the Western Conference of the NHL. They've become known for star players like Tyler Toffoli and Elias Lindholm. Flames Talk is a podcast that provides analysis and news updates on the team. Both new and long-time Flames fans may appreciate keeping up with their team here.

The hosts of this podcast are Wes Gilbertson, Ryan Pike, Pat Steinberg, and Aaron Vickers. Each has been reporting on hockey teams in Canada for over a decade. Pike himself is the managing editor for the website FlamesNation.

A great aspect of this sports podcast is the large volume of information it offers listeners. This is due to the podcast's consistent schedule. New episodes are available throughout the year, even when the team is inactive. This means that fans can receive news about the Flames, even in the off-season. If a listener has a fantasy hockey team with a Flames player on it, they may find this a helpful feature of the podcast.

Depending on what time of year it is, the subjects discussed on the podcast will vary. If the episode airs during the regular season, it will focus on game recaps and highlights. Player news and injuries will also be part of the discussion.

Conversations focus on other subjects if the episode airs during the off-season. These can include topics such as contract negotiations and pre-season standings. The hosts will often talk about how they think the Flames will fare heading into the upcoming season.

Special guest interview episodes can air on a Saturday or Sunday. NHL Insiders, such as Frank Seravalli, are frequent guests of the podcasts. Sports radio announcer Derek Wills is also a regular guest on Flames Talk.
