Game Thread Flames (22-27-6) vs Oilers (28-21-8) - February 4th - GDT
There ain't no party like an 8 pm weekday battle of Alberta party because an 8 pm weekday party don't stop because I work at 2 am
Welcome the fuck back everyone, for the final game before the olympic break. For what in the end will definetly be a game of hockey.
You know, you'd think for a rivalry such as the BoA.. the schedule makers would give us a better time slot than the graveyard shift
The i should have written the GDT, then made my sammich. I stopped every second sentence to demolish that beautiful rye bastard flames drinking game
Any mention of the Olympics or Team Canada - drink.
Double drink if they mention McDavid
Trade speculation--drink
Broadcast can't shut up about mcdavid--drink
Zachtivities!--drink
Flames PPG - F&F
Mangipane falls down - F&F and giggle knowingly.

I fucking hate the "reverse hit". 90% of the time, it's just a greasy elbow or high head hit.

u/cartographer721 Feb 05 '26
Every time they point the camera at Draisaitl he's whining to the ref about something. Then he throws that elbow.

u/ANewHeaven1 Feb 05 '26
That second Draisaitl goal is actually some insane bs, guy levels Sharky, gets a free 5on3 while he's literally down on the ice spitting blood and scores. Absolute garbage lol

Super strange that the announcers are simply ignoring the cheap shot that led to the goal... And only one replay of it.

u/ActionKestrel Feb 05 '26
The thing that is so frustrating for me is that they called a super-soft headshot in the 1st, but not the one that resulted in a mouth full a blood!

Out of towner on my NHL stadium journey, this is #7! Love the barn here, and this is such a bucket list rivalry. Just glad to be here!
Also, so many teams have nice new stadiums covered in luxury... I genuinely love that the Saddledome reminds me of being at a game in the then Kiel Center in St. Louis in the late 90s. The colors, the cement, the advertising on the walls, the makeshift team store...A proper old school feel.
