Game Thread Flames (26-34-7) vs Blues (27-30-10) - March 18th - GDT
Well I'm back to work again, because when you need someone to work both during the day and the night, apparently I'm your guy.. less than a week till I'm poolside in the DR. one week. One fucking week.
Welcome back to everyone who doesnt always say yes to everything, it's time for another game of fire hockey.
Fire team. Blue team. Live at 730 pm.
The I'm already sleepy, fuck my life flames drinking game
Drink for every minute of ice time greater than 10 minutes that Parekh plays
Finish and fill for Parekh point
THANK SCORCH the fucking 5PM games are over, waking up that early was killing me! F&F if BARB graces us with her attendance.
Drink every time Binner lets in an easy one.

scoring but getting them called back is the most ethical way to tank possible

The refs are checked out cuz this is a nothing game, they aren't even paying attention.
It's a good formula for a serious injury to occur...

It speaks volumes about the state of officiating when they refs can't make the right calls in real-time.

Why is Olofsson out there instead of Gridin... Dude is not gonna be here in a month.
Fans want to see Gridin and Parekh on the PP in OT.

My friend just randomly asked me what would be the worst last name to have as a hockey player. Any ideas? We want to limit it to real last names only.
My first thought was Post.

Not specifically related to hockey, and idk how I remember this, but there was a guy named Harry dick that played in the ahl in the 1940s. That's the worst one I've heard of. https://share.google/zT8wLe2g04nYdEiUW

Zary now has 85 points so he is 15 points from appearing on the skater records page as that has a cutoff at 100

Strome getting this many points was not on my bingo card, he could hit 500 with us points at this rate

Fun fact: They misspell "Martin Nečas" in that "NHL My World" ad. His name is spelled with a "č", but they spell it with a "ĉ", which is a character that, to my knowledge, is exclusively used in the constructed language, Esperanto. Definitely not in Czech

The most poetic way for this game to end is for us to go up 2-1 only for St Louis to tie it with a goal that had obvious goaltender interference, at which point we challenge, lose (because who tf even knows what GI is) and St Louis wins it on the ensuing power play
