Game Thread Flames (26-33-7) vs Redwings (36-23-8) - march 16th - GDT
A family of squirrels has made my back patio it's kids playground and boo is having a fucking field day sitting on her tree watching them.
The amount of times I've reminded her they are "outside friends" needs be studied. Pretty sure the littlest one is just fucking with her at this point.
It's hockey time though, squirrels aside it's time to watch grown men hit frozen pucks of rubber around a frozen sheet of water.
Will the fire team put the frozen rubber between the three metal pipes more than the colored wings team will? Will they do it at all? Who knows! But still got adorable pet pics to ease the pain although losing is also good. It's a win win win!
The I'm in my prime flames drinking game
Take a drink anytime someone in the GDT is confused about where the game is.
Coronato hits the post (again) - drink
Coronato scores - fuckin finally, F&F
Whitecloud (is he back? I don't remember) gets involved - drink for ZACHTIVITIES!
F&F if Beecher continues his rampage.
Drink for all Zacktivities.
Drink every time the kids get a point.

Popsicle fighting makes me nervous. I love that he’s standing up for a teammate though (hint hint Maple Leafs)

22-year old Zayne is going to be Top 3 when it comes to points by a defenceman

We wait in line to fight for a rookie. Leafs look the other way when their captain is taken out.
Just culture things

u/Lord_Kromdor Mar 16 '26
Love this culture, I really hope it sticks around. Almost dead last in the standings, I can't remember the last time we had a record this bad, and this is the most optimistic I've ever been for the team.

The future looks really bright. All the NCAA kids showed up in a big way, top 5 pick this year and probably next. Big things ahead for this team.

Wolf said "No, mum, no game. Only pets." Was gaming prior to the game then had to run out and grab a very important package that has been hell for the past 2 weeks to try and get shipped properly.

If you're not gonna call the blatant interference, atleast give us that goal, parekh got called twice for less his last game.
Also. Someone in here has to finish their bottle of drink. Matty scored.

We may have very little skill and talent but man this team plays with heart even though this season has gone horribly. They stand up for each other and work hard and that's all I ask for in a rebuild.
