The Battle Of Alberta Ft. Brent Krahn | FN Barn Burner - October 28th, 2026

Are the Calgary Flames getting ready to lock up Morgan Frost long-term? Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener react to a new report from TSN's Pierre LeBrun revealing that Flames general manager Craig Conroy and Frost's agent Darren Ferris have begun preliminary contract extension discussions, with mutual interest in getting a deal done. The 27-year-old centre is entering the final season of his two-year, $8.75 million contract, which carries a $4.375 million annual cap hit, and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2027. Frost is coming off a career-high 22-goal season with 43 points in 82 games and has opened the 2026-27 campaign with three goals and seven points through 11 games. With the Calgary Flames suddenly riding a four-game winning streak and their younger players beginning to make an impact, the boys discuss where Frost fits into the organization's long-term plans, whether extending him makes more sense than exploring a trade and how much money Calgary should realistically be willing to commit. With centre depth still a major question for the Flames and NHL salaries continuing to rise, could Frost become an important piece of Calgary's future, or would a big extension be a mistake?

Brent Krahn joins Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener on the Insider Hotline for another entertaining conversation about the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and everything happening around the NHL. With Devin Cooley playing some outstanding hockey and Dustin Wolf still a major part of Calgary's future, Krahner shares his perspective on the Flames' goaltending situation and what he's seeing from both netminders. The boys also get into Matvei Gridin's recent breakout and the excitement surrounding Calgary's young players before turning their attention to the Edmonton Oilers and their ongoing questions in net, including Frederik Andersen. As always, Krahn has plenty of stories from his playing days, including memories of players who drove him crazy and some hilarious experiences from around the game. They also discuss coaching minor hockey and how things have changed since Krahner was playing. Plenty of hockey talk, old stories and laughs with one of the show's favourite guests!

The Calgary Flames are absolutely buzzing right now! Boomer, Pinder and Rhett Warrener break down Calgary's fourth straight victory after a 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, and suddenly this team is becoming one of the most entertaining stories in the NHL. Matvei Gridin led the way with two goals and an assist, including a beautiful power-play goal followed by the Griddy celebration that had hockey fans talking. Some people weren't too happy about it, but the boys are loving the confidence and personality these young Flames are bringing to the ice. Devin Cooley continues his incredible run in net, making 26 saves for his fourth consecutive victory, while Joel Farabee, Matt Coronato, Zayne Parekh and the rest of Calgary's young core are starting to make a real impact. After opening the season with five straight losses, Ryan Huska's Flames have completely flipped the script, sweeping their four-game homestand and giving fans something to get excited about.
