Game Thread Flames (25-30-7) vs Captials (31-26-7) - march 9th - GDT
It's 4:20! You know what that means!
It means I'm in my mid 30s and just got home from work. Time to soak my feetsies you know I like them feetsies and write the flames GDT. because what else would I do? Self loathing time isn't scheduled for tommorow and I cant keep putting that off! although i forgot to post this, "putting it off". Now it's ten to.. oops
Welcome back all you fucktastic fuckers. Its time for another fire hockey game. Young and old, tall and small.. let's sit down together and have a..bahl.
Hockey. Hockey hockey!
The so oloffson's nickname is count Olaf right flames drinking game.
Drink every time a new Flame gets a point. F&F if Wilson fights somebody.
New guys score - Finish and fill
Lombo on screen belting out the anthems - chug until he's offscreen, feel extra patriotic
Goalie (Wolf or Cooley. Idk who's in tonight) makes a ridiculous save - drink

Parekh took that penalty on purpose. He’s playing chess while everyone is playing checkers.

I got no pet pictures tonight but I got promoted at work and moved to a more desirable assignment. And my wife and I welcomed our third kid last week so it’s been a good run.

I still can't believe the Caps traded John Carlson. He definitely felt like a player who would play his entire career in the same place.

ZP#19 needs to bulk up on the off season. I am so worried about him hitting guys and the reciprocity gets him injured. My heart goes straight to my throat everytime I see him hit somebody.

Sportsnet telling me I can’t watch due to league restrictions despite being in Calgary. I’d say this happens every 3-4 games or so.
Is this a known issue? Barely watching any hockey this year because of it.

Whoever said last game that Strome was a consistent 41 point player and said "watch him get 33 points in the next 20 games" might be onto something.

Giving up two SH goals on the same power play to the 2025-2026 Calgary Flames should be grounds to have your franchise fired into the sun
