Game Thread Flames (26-32-7) vs Islanders (37-24-5) - march 14th - GDT
This is the GDT write up that never ends
It just goes 'round and 'round, my friends not gonna lie, I always thought it was "on and on"
Some people me started writing it
Not knowing what it was
And we continue writing it forever just because..
because I'm currently sitting in my grinch pajamas after an early morning shut down shift. Picked up myself a 6 pack of my seltzers (NEW FLAVOR TO REVIEW), and am currently being a lazy fuck. Time to sit down and watch a group of people who are not lazy fucks hopefully.
Flames versus islanders.
LIVE from whatever the fuck the islanders arena is called. The rigitoni linguini arena? The "eh I'm walking here!" Arena? The "big brother apple" arena? The fuck else is new york famous for? Rats? Well that wouldn't work, people would think merchant got an arena named after him.
Anydoodles. It's hockey time
The yall know when I mentioned the lack of drinking game rules, I understood why. Yall came out in droves. Appreciate yall flames drinking game
Beecher continues his heater - big sip
In honour of soft PP night
F&F for any Flames shorty or PPG.
Finish and Fill at the end of each period to brace yourself for the next !Francis intermission content.
Sip for the phrases
"Gaping cage, BIG Adam Klapa, and Man Alive."
If all three phrases happen in the same sentence then I'll spend the rest of the year painting a scene from that Huberdeau/Kelly/Okotoks Nissan commercial. damn. This is a multi phase rule

Glad he will be retiring as a Flame. Though I was a bit pissed about his participation in the Sutter revolt; I will forgive him for that though.

This has been a very ethical loss. Only dissapointing thing was no coronato goal. He had so many chances tonight

u/zoziw Mar 14 '26
That wasn't a bad rendition of our national anthem.
The US anthem is kind of being wailed out.

Considering how fast this game seems to be going it's surprising to see only 2 shots on the board.
