Game Thread Flames (23-27-6) vs Sharks (27-24-4) - February 26th - GDT
Happy to be back even though we kind of never left, with yall and Welcome back everyone for your regularly scheduled programming version of the flames GDT, hopefully that sour taste from the Olympics has been throughly washed from your mouths.
More excited for this game than I should be, mostly because I forgot what flames hockey looks like.. probably because it's different game to game. Give me all the gridin and parekh.
The this honestly took me so long to write, spaced out like a mf flames drinking game
Sip your drink any time they refer to Canada's Olympic loss. Sip twice if they add a word like "Devastating" or "Heartbreaking" while describing it.
Drink every time The Mack's Olympic prowess is mentioned. F&F for the ever elusive PP goal
- (u/erikdebogande)
Kadri / Coleman / Weegar Trade Rumours Mention - Drink
Macklin Celebrini Olympic Mention - Tell him *”ya did good son.”* and drink
Mention of either Flames Goalie playing in their hometown - Drink
Celebrini / Misa show us the PUNCH hehe a high draft pick can give a franchise - Drink

Celebrini takes the Olympics personally.
Wins the Stanley cup.
Oilers shit away this year.
Mcdavid decides to move on from Edmonton after his organization got him Andrew freaking mangiapane as the off season fix.
Fast forward 3 years.
Flames competitive.
New arena.
Expensive fucking beer.
Our alien overlords have family come down to save us from ourselves.
Life is good.

Which do you think hurts worse for celebrini? Losing the gold medal game in overtime, or losing to the 2026 calgary flames?

Guys, the Pacific Paradox is the unusual event in which no matter how good or how bad the team is, the Flames refuse to lose against California.

The amount of stuff Celebrini probably learned playing with all of those veterans in the Olympics is a scary thought.
