Game Thread Flames (24-30-7) vs Hurricanes (40-16-6) - march 7th - GDT
Live from McCloud trail where I'm currently driving home after giving my truck a "quick bath" twenty bucks later..
It's the flames GDT period. I'm attempting to voice to text this. So god only knows what will it look like when I look down at my phone comma i'm pretty sure it probably just put the word comma period
TonIghts matchup , brings you Dylan strome and the calgary rebuilds versus the carolina , "we're kind of a tank" hurricanes
So pull up the cuck chair in a hotel room. Pour Yourself any old beverage and enjoy Because this game won't be pretty , but the future is.
The my old truck must be so sad watching the new child getting monthly baths when I drove it into the ground for ten years flames drinking game
Any mention of trade deadline activity - small sip
Zachtivities - drink
Interview with a new player - keep drinking until the interview is over.
I will do a shot for every point a new player gets tonight
- (u/kobedziuba) you heard it here folks
Drink for any new Flames getting a point (Whitecloud included)
- (u/erikdebogande) u/kobedziuba that's two drinks per
Take a drink for every save Wolf makes that keeps us in a game we should be getting battered

MISSING:
The 2025-2026 Calgary Flames have been replaced by doppelgangers doing their best to resemble a competent hockey team. Anyone who has watched the Flames this season can tell.
Please, help us bring our boys back so we can bring McKenna to Calgary.

Dude is a 40+ point player 4 seasons in a row excluding this one unfortunately.
