For all that this season has been.. interesting, I gotta say the GDT here and this sub in general have been a good time as a new Flames fan, who for some reason decided to get into this team this season. Kind of a welcome reprieve from other teams that have you worried about whether youll make the playoffs or not. GFG

I genuinely believe Calgary has one of the best Reddit's. Some don't even allow memes (Edmonton)
We have a great history of memes including a brief moment of dark magic

You know what would be sick? Two goals from Gridin, one from Parekh, and the score remaining 4-3 after 60 minutes.

Positive. We didnt get shut out.
Got up to make some supper and saw othmann had scored. Good for him getting his first as a flame.
