About this episode

Eric Francis discusses Cliff Fletcher's impact on the Flames and analyzes the team's untouchables and the Stanley Cup Final.

On hour two of Flames Talk, it’s the Eric Francis Hour — live from Las Vegas! Pat and Eric open with the passing of Cliff Fletcher and reflect on what he meant to this franchise. Then, Eric weighs in on the Flames untouchables list — the 2027 first-round pick, Zayne Parekh, Matvei Gridin, Cole Reschny, Dustin Wolf, and Matt Coronato — and whether anyone is truly off the table on a team still searching for its franchise piece. (20:54) The Stanley Cup Final is tied 1-1 after two epic games in Raleigh! Eric breaks down the first two games from the ground in Vegas, including John Tortorella’s pivotal challenge in Game 2, and gives his feel for Game 3 on Saturday night.
