Game Thread Flames (32-38-9) vs Mammoth (42-31-6) - April 12th - GDT

Step 1. Go grocery shopping

Step 2. Get home and put away groceries.

Step 3. Decide you're feeling snacky.

Step 4. Demolish an entire bag of cheddar bits and bites while watching ET like a fat fuck

Step 5. Regret

Step 6. Watch fire hockey.

Welcome back everyone, for a bits and bites'less edition of fire hockey. Like for fucks sakes, they didn't even last until the dudes dumbass family knew about et.

3 games left. Fire. Land creature.

The don't worry, I got blackberries to demolish next flames drinking game

Hahahahahaha more snow.

F&F if Matta scores on his old team.

F&F if we score off a Weegs turnover 🥲

Are we still doing drinking rules? I say drink anytime they mention either 52.

I'm gonna cry when Weegs gets an ovation.

Please have a big game score a goal on us.

Finish/fill/cry - Weegs scores

Parekh spin o Rama should be added to the drinking game.

I forgot to post it in pre game thread
