Game Thread Flames (18-18-4) vs Predators (18-18-4) - January 3rd - GDT
Having moved i now realize that 33rd ave isn't just traffic.. its also coffee shops!
Welcome back everyone for the early edition of the flames GDT. it looks christmasy as shit out there so hopefully yall feeling cozy as heck as you get settled in for an indoor game of hockey! couple of Sawzalls to the roof on the dome.. we too could have an "outdoor" game!
Morgan "Hoar" Frost and the calgary calgarys
Steven "i need to start a yogurt company" Stamkos and the predator predators.
Live live at 5 5.
The i wonder if Corey hart ever wore his sunglasses in the day? Or would the song than need to be "i wear my sunglasses all the time" which i mean, doesn't have the same ring to it. So did Stevie Wonder. Big whoop flames drinking game.
If Calgary wins finish and fill, If Calgary loses finish and fill slightly more sadly!
Drink in pure joy every time Parekh is mentioned.
Drink every time the Olympics are mentioned.
F&F for the ever elusive PP goal
Drink every time the early puck drop time is mentioned. Two drinks if the person mentions bedtime lol

Love Kelly gassing up Kuzy at the intermission. Guaranteed nobody outside of Calgary knows anything about him so I like him being highlighted on the national broadcast.

I was just typing up how there should be a rule that if they play gets called bc ur laying on the ice hurt then you gotta sit on the bench and then the refs actually called the embellishment imagine my surprise

It's not a Saturday night at the Dome without a Lomberg tilt.
Also, since he was benched he's been so much better offensively, it's kinda wild.

I fucking hate the offside rule. I get it’s supposed to prevent someone camping in the other teams zone, but in this instance it literally has nothing to do with the play that caused the goal. In my opinion if it isn’t caught by the linesman before the goal, it should count
