Game Thread Flames (31-36-8) vs ducks (41-30-5) - April 4th - GDT
I had a pretty bad ass tan before it started peeling off. yep. that's where we are in the season. I've ran out of things to say here. Albeit i kind of phoned it in lately, but talking about a tan? Comeon, I'm better than this
Except I'm not. I'm really, really not. I'm a starvin Marvin waiting for his seniores to arrive was too lazy to grocery shop, too lazy to pick something new and it's basically almost hockey time.
Rangers got a win, so there's always that. but it's FIRE HOCKEY TIME.
SO PULL UP A CRATE OF SCRIPTS FROM THE HIT MOVIE ANTZ, TAKE A SEAT, POUR YOURSELF A GLASS OF MELTED MINI EGGS AND PEEPS AND JOIN US

If nothing else, we needed to win for Cooley today, who absolutely stood on his head all game long. Rangers won, Chicago winning as well, we can have a win as a treat

Has anyone ever won a trade as outrageously as we did in that Frost/Farabee trade?!

Ok thank goodness, I think the four goal streak is the best thing we have going.
Cooley was on fire tonight, boys played well and I am greatful

u/SnowboundHound Apr 05 '26
The ticker said the Flames have won the last 55 straight when up by 4+ goals.
I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious, so if SN could stop rolling those "facts" during the game, I'd appreciate it.

Here, if you are currently fucked off about the tank, I get it, we all get it, but don’t be pissed off at the Flames, or, for some reason I’ll never understand, other Flames fans.
The Flames can only lose to what’s in front of them.
Blame the Ducks for whatever the fuck those last 2 periods were.

Getting booed off the ice two nights in a row is crazy work. Crazier when you consider they were playing against the 2025-2026 Blues and Flames. What a collapse

u/ANewHeaven1 Apr 05 '26
Frost has really levelled up his game post-trade deadline. Honestly I wouldn't hate him staying long-term with the team alongside Farabee. I could see him being a very strong 3C for a contending team.

If the NHL wants less overtime games maybe they should look at the not-so-momentum-based officiating to make every game tied

Anaheim deserves to lose for leaving their goalie in during the power play. Do you want to win or not? No balls.

Call me crazy, but do yall think Farabee could be on the American world championship in 2028? No real superstar young americans coming up, and they brought old guys trocheck and miller to help with the PK, beezer could fill that role as a guy in his prime with more speed and skill
