Eric Francis on the Loss of Mikael Backlund

On hour 2 of Flames Talk, Pat and Eric Francis revisit the Flames' depth concerns, with Backlund’s injury highlighting a major challenge down the middle. How does this compare to the Flames losing Mark Giordano a decade ago? Plus, thoughts on Connor Zary’s two-game suspension and the fallout from Wednesday’s loss to Vancouver.

(23:56) Calgary ranks last in the NHL in scoring—how much of a playoff roadblock is that historically? Pat and Eric take a deep dive into the numbers and discuss whether the Flames can turn things around offensively before the season ends.
