    I want to win this for Johnny and the salt, but I want to lose this to stay in the bottom.

    I think I’d settle for “play a close competitive game, but still not win” and be ok.

    But still the *screw you* to the Flames though…..

  2. sadgrass88

    I know it would temporarily ruin the tank, but I would love a win here for Johnny’s sake. Shut up the people in Calgary who are still holding a grudge against him for no good reason.

  3. BossFan105

    Rooting for a Johnny hat trick and a 3-4 loss

  4. Is Marchenko really on the first line?

    Edit: I missed the last game but the game thread for it shows him there as well. Excited he’s getting the opportunity. How did he do?

  5. Beartoes1

    Going to predict a completely out of the blue game of 4-1 CBJ, two empty net goals and Johnny gets one. The crowd boos continuously for the last 45 seconds of the game because of it.

  6. deepthroathamburger

    The Flames sub is making fun of us because we are “named after clothes”

    Our “Bluejackets” union soldiers burned down your Atlanta Flames name origin city that was named after this event.

    > The name comes from the Atlanta Flames, which joined the NHL in 1972 before relocating to Calgary in 1980. Atlanta Flames was a Civil War reference to General Sherman’s March to the Sea, during which much of the state of Georgia was set ablaze.

  7. warlink05

    Friendly reminder that this game is on ESSPN+/Hulu instead of Bally Sports. Plan accordingly.

  8. Let’s at least play a fun game so staying up for this is worth it

  9. deepthroathamburger

    I’m reading on flames Twitter they plan on taking this out on his wife and are going to chant “Meredith said no”

    Gee I wonder why he left
