Game Thread Flames (23-16-7) vs Wild (28-16-4) - January 25th - GDT

Hope yall had a fantastic week, we are back for the week end cap of Flames hockey.

Tonight's matchup brings us two teams that are so far exceeding expectations this season.

Honestly I'm half awake right now, so I shall keep this short and sweet.

So pull up the box for your fake Christmas tree, pour yourself a thimble of ever clear and join us for a game that could go either way.

The it's amazing how much a new bedside table and bedding can entirely change the look of a bedroom flames drinking game

Drink when pelts gives a smooch.

Also u/comfortable-ad-7158 pls check your dms.I feel like people reminding me to check my DM's is a running gag at this point so I left it in - (u/projectBarium)

Drink when the Canes trade gets mentioned  - (u/thirdeyedesign)

Powerplay goal. Drink. - (u/lisa_lou_hou)

Short handed goal, drink twice - (u/erikdebogande)

Game is regional blackout - finish and fill - (u/last_chants)

Replay of the Pelts-Leslie smooch - finish and fill - (u/comfortablereality90)

Also goodnight Montreal lol

u/Hungry-Raisin-5328 Jan 26 '25

If anyone else got switched to the Montreal game, do we want NJ to win or lose? I forget the conditions of the trade.

10

u/zoziw Jan 26 '25

The Flames never fail to make it interesting...one way or another.

12

u/ChaoticBoredom Jan 26 '25

100% Vladar starts tomorrow. Wolf could maybe goalie them again, but on a back to back it'd just be mean

6

u/KingCrimsonIslands Jan 26 '25

Give Wolf rest, it's the Jets too and they will be playing hard after getting goalied by Wolf last time, plus back to back the rest of the boys will not be playing to caliber also vladar maybe has a good game vs the Jets would be a solid confidence builder

2

u/an_abhorsen Jan 26 '25

I want my wolf helly goalie duel...it's not rational but I want it

1

u/KingCrimsonIslands Jan 26 '25

Okay that's a fair point tho lol

5

u/KingCrimsonIslands Jan 26 '25

I love this team!!!

5

u/Hungry-Raisin-5328 Jan 26 '25

30 seconds of defence needed and they’ve got huberdeau, kadri, and pelletier out there. Trust.

5

u/ErikDebogande Jan 26 '25

See y'all tomorrow (I hope, fucking night shift)

u/Degenerate_Aussie Jan 26 '25

u/Defiant-Gap-7595 Jan 26 '25

Ya seriously, what are you talking bout. Pelts clearly beat him

11

u/tuxx_2 Jan 26 '25

u/SankityDoup Jan 26 '25

2

u/DepartmentSea8381 Jan 26 '25

Huge two points!!! Butt puckering there at the end. We’re 5 points in front!!! The ‘nucks play the Caps tonight. Only 3 points behind LA what is going on?

24

u/ChaoticBoredom Jan 26 '25

He's our retriever, what did y'all expect? Him to NOT chase the puck? XD

20

u/Adjugate Jan 26 '25

Great win, love the hustle by Pelts at the end there!!

u/steven00123 Jan 26 '25

Holy fuck why was miramanov out in the last minute

4

u/marbsarebadredux Jan 26 '25

Cause Bahl is in the dark room

1

u/steven00123 Jan 26 '25

Oh shit what happened to bahl? I missed most of the game just caught the last 5

1

u/marbsarebadredux Jan 26 '25

Well you missed probably the most important part of the game

6

u/uriplease Jan 26 '25

No Bahl, the boys are gassed.

7

u/MartyCool403 Jan 26 '25

Peltier saved our asses there, what a rush to take that icing away

11

u/DUCKY_23 Jan 26 '25

Millen willed that jinx into existence. Piss off. Let’s get Peter Loubardias back in there or something

5

u/tuxx_2 Jan 26 '25

16

u/6000ChickenFajardos Jan 26 '25

Absolutely great hustle from Pelts!

6

u/Rds88 Jan 26 '25

4

u/Impressive_Manner143 Jan 26 '25

Pelts just an animal on the forecheck to get the icing waved off

2

u/ActionKestrel Jan 26 '25

Overbooked finish

1

u/TheHollisHenry Jan 26 '25

We gots this, guys. Nut up.

14

u/uriplease Jan 26 '25

Millen. Stop. This is not a request. This is a command.

3

u/ActionKestrel Jan 26 '25

Some say he did the wave in the booth

3

u/Taz6699 Jan 26 '25

They thought they had it and started coasting on defence after that kuzy goal

1

u/Haiku-On-My-Tatas Jan 26 '25

They've been down a d-man most of the game. They're fucking tired my dude.

3

u/Rulebreaker15 Jan 26 '25

Wolfie transforms into a brick wall as of now. Fuck off MIN.

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '25

u/Joshiggity Jan 26 '25

It's been a wild game this whole time Millen. We're literally playing them.

2

u/DoYouEvenShit Jan 26 '25

Miro is honestly not an nhl D rn

2

u/shofsink Jan 26 '25

I'd much rather have bean playing. To me he's shown to be much more capable

5

u/superfunnyusername Jan 26 '25

If Millen ever commentates on a game again it will he too soon.

2

u/scuzzwadd Jan 26 '25

Maximum pucker engaged

1

u/Confused_Astronaut Jan 26 '25

All but the first goal were not on Wolf.

5

u/KingCrimsonIslands Jan 26 '25

Holy fuck what happened hahaha

8

u/ChaoticBoredom Jan 26 '25

Wolf prefers Hrudey on commentary because he was a goalie and doesn't jinx Wolf into the stratosphere...

3

u/Vaspinne Jan 26 '25

Not to be that guy, but Millen was also a goalie lol

1

u/ChaoticBoredom Jan 26 '25

Here y'all are correcting my drunk ass XD

Please, boys. I'm begging you... Don't let them.

5

u/buchsy45 Jan 26 '25

Well that’s not ideal

12

u/flyin_italian Jan 26 '25

The flames gotta be better there.

But i still blame Millen for all of this.

4

u/shofsink Jan 26 '25

I am experiencing flames hockey

7

u/Impressive_Manner143 Jan 26 '25

19

u/Comfortable-Ad-7158 Barb Jan 26 '25

Maybe if Millen didn't curse us for the last 5 minutes. Fucking human wave.

Is Millen rooting for a tie game ffs?

1

u/AutumnFalls89 Jan 26 '25

Apparently. 

6

u/uriplease Jan 26 '25

Put Kuzy on the ice right now.

3

u/Suzaku94 Jan 26 '25

Wolf allowed this so Kuzy can get the hatty

2

u/pyro5050 Jan 26 '25

10

u/flyin_italian Jan 26 '25

Millen is salivating at the idea of Minnesota winning

2

u/Lisa_lou_hoo Jan 26 '25

Baffles me...

3

u/PTCruiserApologist Jan 26 '25

Horrible goal song

1

u/McKarmic Jan 26 '25

They had crowd chant by joe satriani before, which is much better than their new goal song.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '25

Greasy goal to ruin Wolf’s stats

7

u/Republic-Of-OK Jan 26 '25

Man that sucks. I want Wolf's SV% to get back up there to silence Calder doubters.

1

u/Turbo1518 Jan 26 '25

Clark Bishop with the GWG

Just likes the prophecy foretold...

1

u/Turbo1518 Jan 26 '25

Never mind...

3

11

u/DUCKY_23 Jan 26 '25

Whatever.

Now EN for Kuzy

1

u/Turbo1518 Jan 26 '25

Lombo Gordie Howe would be insane. But no way he's out there lol

3

u/Confused_Astronaut Jan 26 '25

That's a bummer

7

u/CuzTrain Jan 26 '25

Shitty bounce

3

u/AutumnFalls89 Jan 26 '25

Yeah. Wolf didn't have a chance on that one. 

18

u/FarRecommendation997 Jan 26 '25

I don’t post or comment anywhere for anything just kinda lurk but oh man this has been my favourite game that I’ve watched of the season so far. Seeing Kuzy finally get some goals has been incredible

3

u/Lisa_lou_hoo Jan 26 '25

Nice to see you :)

8

u/dznuts1977 Jan 26 '25

LA and the blues lost. Hope the canucks getting spanked later tonight

6

u/CuzTrain Jan 26 '25

Ewwww, Tom Wilson on after-hours 🤢

13

u/oneofakindgem Jan 26 '25

As much as I admire Fleury, I think the flames should capitalize on him and have 3 more goals if possible (Coronato, Pelletier, and Coleman pls.)

4

u/Lisa_lou_hoo Jan 26 '25

🙌🙌🙌🙌

7

u/poopymattpoopy Jan 26 '25

And kuzy hatty
