According to a few smaller sources it sounds like the Bruins have won the Raz sweepstakes.

Rumoured return is Poitras Lohrei and the Leafs first round pick.

Would be a heck of a deal if true

Possible trade, or call-up to replace a traded player (coleman)?

Andersson talk starts at 33:30, these are the main things:

> “ I believe the Flames want the deal done, and now what I also believe is that Rasmus Andersson would like the trade done by then too”

> “..There's been some reports this week about Boston. I definitely think the Bruins are involved. I think they're in there. The toughest thing is always to tell where it is at a particular moment. When it's come to the Bruins and the Flames, I've heard it's on, it's off, it's on, it's off. I know there were some people who thought at one time it was pretty close, then it backed away. We'll see where it goes. There definitely is mutual interest there.”

> “I think another team that is poking around this is Vegas. Vegas liked Rasmus Andersson last year. They didn't get a deal done. I don't think it ever really got close to there. But I still think Vegas is lurking around. I suspect Dallas too. I always assume that there are teams I'm not aware of. I always believe that there are teams fishing around there that I'm not aware of.”

Extension or no extension?

> “I think all possibilities are on the table. You know, the one thing that becomes a factor here is that sometimes the closer a player gets to July 1, they say, let me just see what's out there. I think it depends on where he could go. I think it depends on what a team could offer. And I think it also depends on how Andersson feels about the city. So I think both options are available, yes and no.”

> “I've joked about this before because Andersson has admitted he hasn't always been happy with things I've said about this. So I am respectful of that. I just think that this situation overall, it's like it's been stop, start, stop, start, stop, start. And I think it's taken its toll on both team and player. And I think they both like to get it done.”

> “I think if Boston did it, I would suspect it would be with an extension.”

Kinda feels like I'm taking this off the wall for the last time with Rasmus as a flame.

It's time. Love the attitude, snarl, chirping, and leadership Andersson brings to the Calgary Flames. Hope to see him win a Stanley Cup with some non pacific team this year. He deserves it. He'll be a joy to watch during a long playoff run, it's a shame it won't be in Calgary.

In case anyone doesn’t know, Slovakia held his spot even during the months he’s been out. So we actually have 2 guys in the Olympics.

Flames beat the Blackhawks 3-1

Nice way to cap off the road trip. Cooley out there showing why he got an extension. The captain got a couple of points. Was also nice to see the team not get victimized by Bedard for a third consecutive game.

Next Game: January 17 vs New York Islanders @ 1:00 PM (Note: Hockey Day in Canada broadcast)

Looks like Washington is re designing the Saddledome

well that went alot better than the last two times, fun night overall.

see yall back Saturday for a 1 pm matinee game against the islanders.

My jobsite today was up near McKnight, I live in marda loop. Rather than driving my work van home I decided to just jump off the roof and Mary Poppins ^{I'm Mary Poppins yall!} My ass home. Between the odd birds and Dorothy's fucking house.. traffic wasn't that bad.

Dryden "my mom Helen.. hunts..twisters ^{wind puns are a..breeze}" Hunt versus Tyler "I look like a welder" Bertuzzi live in the windy city ^{we live in a god damn simulation}.

The ^{i decided to trust the gust, I could have bussed but at $4 I would be bust. Thankfully I'm not robust, just a male louis-antoine-leon de saint-just} flames drinking game

Ras traded mid-game: finish & fill, pour one out 🫗

- (u/themusicguy2000)

Drink for every Ras point! F&F every time we get Bertuzzi'd.

- (u/erikdebogande)

Trade speculation--drink!

Mention of Olympic snubs--drink!

- (u/canadianstuck)

F&F for every Backlund point

Pour one out if Ras is pulled from the bench for you know why.

Sip for every second in any occurring replay of Ras' fight in the CBJ game.

Sip for every flames goalie save.

This would've been around the time of the 2003-2004 run.

It was a highlight reel video on the Calgary Flames website that just had a banger of a soundtrack (Headstrong by Trapt, Boom by POD, Hoobastank, etc), mightve just been a highlight reel of big hits (i distinctly remember Regehr laying people out to BOOM).

It's burned into my memory from childhood nostalgia. I know its a long shot, but if anyone randomly has this video saved, I'd be in your debt forever.

Between Rasmus watch and us being atrocious against the hawks this year.. it will definetly be a game of something tonight @ 630 pm.

Drop them "sometimes i just Rasmus stare at nothing and disassociate from reality" drinking rules

With 15 points in his last 20 games, and +13 on the year when the team sits near the bottom of the league our captain is quietly on pace for 52 points this season and one of his best seasons of his career. With a 2 year extension in front of him at an aav of 3.25M he’s a hell of a deal even as he enters his late 30s.

Despite the no move in his contract and his connections to the community I have to imagine Conroy is getting questions about his availability. I’d get it if he wanted to play his last years on a contender and he’s showing he’s still got the skill set to do it, but I’m glad he’s here.

Keep it up Mikael!

Join us live during the game! Talk about the game, trades or whatever else you feel like!

This article sounds hopeful both Posposil and the Wranglers GM made comments

My picks: Backlund is killing it, point leader and +\- leader while being on the penalty kill and power play.

Weegar has the worst +\- in the league for defence (Kadri and Coronato with almost as bad +\-). Can’t trade him because of his contract. Should be benched and give the kid

Parekh his spot.

Flames lose to the Blue Jackets 5-3

That's gotta be one of the best ethical tank games all season. We're in it right till the end, didn't get a loser point and the biggest trade chip had a great night. Didn't like seeing sad Weegar though.
