    I completely forgot it was a back to back tbh

  2. GronkeyDonkey

    Should be a good game. May be one of the last times we play against Fleury if he is indeed starting

  3. ErikDebogande

    I hope it isn’t a snooze fest like the last game was

    I told myself (and my wife) that I was done watching for the rest of this season; it just makes me angry for all the reasons we bitch about all the time.

    First game I skip they go and win against a good team…

    I’ll continue not watching and we can hope for a big win streak.

    Sutter finally deciding to change the lines after months of watching the most boring hockey of my life.

    Might be too little too late, but at least there is a bit of fight left in this team.

    Weird how I’m back to being less confident with Vladar in net after Markstrom decides to show up the last few games.

  6. xThunderstruck33x

    Please don’t win again… we need some losses to help our draft position.

  7. Individual_Potato629

    What a fun game yesterday! Hope the boys can build off that and keep it going. I’m surprised with how well new Ritchie fit on the second line. Stecher also looks really good out there. He had a few great plays holding the puck at the line. Super quick too. I wonder if we’ll extend him this summer since he’s a UFA… probably depends on the situation with Kylington.

    We’re winning 10 in a row, Huberdeau saved my opinion of him with the most clutch exciting play we’ve had all year, and Toffoli can adopt me cause I wanna cuddle.

    Our new additions looked solid last night, really impressed with Stecher’s passing.

  10. Clunkbot

    Hello fellow Rocky Mountain bros. Coming from r/coloradoavalanche with a request: PLEASE WIN AGAINST THE MILD TODAY

  11. iggyisgoat

    We’ve seen this story how many times this year? Flames come out with a big win against a good team and everyone calls it the turning point. They then fall flat in their next game.

    Let’s see if they can finally stop that trend

  12. AimlessSheetGhost

    I’ll be in row 5 behind the Flames bench!

  13. dickgareau

    13 or 14 wins out of our remaining games 18 gets us into playoffs

  14. The_Man_with_1_Name

    Just to get to the basement we would have to lose out and unfortunately Cancouver, Coyotankes, and the Slackhawks would actually have to win 10 at least for us to be in the Bedard conversation, so how about we shoot for the playoffs and get some pride back for these guys heading into next year. Yes? I thought so GFG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  15. BigDickHobbit

    Let’s try that trick we did last night. The one where we score more goals than they do!

  16. Comfortable-Ad-7158

    Just taught the boys what soh cah toa stands for on the 960 text in. Win is in the bags.

  17. phohunna

    Time to win our first consecutive game in like 5 months

  18. MeursaultWasGuilty

    I keep trying to give up on the season and the boys just won’t let me.
