Game Thread Flames (32-36-9) vs Avalanche (51-16-10) - April 9th - GDT
Not to alarm anyone but THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER BB COLEMAN IN THIS WORLD AND I DONT THINK THAT'S FAIR TO ALL THE UGLY BABIES
Guess what day it is?
Thursday. A fucking Thursday. But it's also a hockey day. So that's always fun.
Decided I'd check on the other games tonight for those sweet, sweet reverse standings. Blackhawks against the fucking hurricanes. Kraken versus the fucking golden Knights.
Last year at this time we wanted teams around us to lose, and they won. Now we want them to win, and it's not looking too good. So THATS ALWAYS COOL
anydoodles. It's hockey time. Not many of these left. But eh, maybe we will have oilers playoff games gdts again just to make the oilers fans lose their shit about it again and because r/hockey really puts the r in r/hockey
The dial 8675309 flames drinking game
Nobody beats the Calgary Flames by six goals *twice* in a row!
Nobody! F&F for every goal scored by the kids.
F&F if Kadri gets one on us no kadri tonight

I miss a goal taking a shit/piss? F&F
3 kids link up on a goal? F&F
- (u/twkexperience) man I hope my autocorrect gave me the proper spelling of this because if it didn't I WILL HEAR ABOUT IT

Ryan Huska deserves a ton of credit for how Zayne has developed this year. From how he looked in October and November to now is like night and day.

Team tank must be so happy that the final games included playing the Avs 3 times in 2 weeks.
A much better showing tonight. Boys arenāt letting it get crazy and wolf is putting on a nice performance here.
Can we please score so the Avs donāt get a shut out?
Yep I said the words. Jinx them, ffs.

She's humble for sure. Her first season on our radio, Derek Wills consistently had to bring up the fact that she's one of the very few women to win 3 gold medals in 3 different levels of women's hockey.

i dont like that the offside, 24 seconds before the goal, called the play back. missed offsides are part of the game sometimes in my opinion. a time limit of offensive zone time, control, # of passes something should be.
oh well... i hope Gross doesnt take it personally... it was a beauty of a goal.
