[Bounces R Way]

Wolf starts. Flames can sweep the season series with a win tonight.
Or they could also lose and it probably wouldn't make a difference to anything, but it would officially eliminate them from playoff contention.

for luck :

It snowed again in Calgary today and I'm salty about it.
but I'm making some meatballs so maybe I'm just hungry

Not bad my man. Excited for the kuzmenkshow w cameos by Mony and Toff.

Meatballs sound good. I'm going to Flyers/Sabres tomorrow night with my brother. That should be fun. Always a good time in Buffalo. Would love to see Fedotov play.

I often daydream about taking various trips around the league's barns and pull up Ticketmaster to check on prices. How are ticket prices for a game like that w the Sabres out of the race?

We're row 10 off the ice bench side for $160 US for the pair. Stub Hub gets you cheaper the day of the game, but my bro is a Flyers fan and my cousin from out of town is going and he's one row lower than us, so we wanted to be close to him.

What a beast. I always knew Weegar was a great pickup

Sounds fantastic. Good shout re: StubHub.

I used them recently for a comedy show that sold out quickly on TM, and the seller misrepresented the tickets. They claimed orchestra level (closest) but they were in the mezzanine. Thankfully I found another pair on FB marketplace that were both cheaper and better (and actually in the orchestra section).
Was a lot of back and forth w sh to get a refund. I just dislike that sellers need to provide zero proof they actually own the tickets posted. In this case I bought them in oct for a march show. Long time to wait after payment and they weren't available for me to see them until a day before the show.

Glad to hear for hockey it's more reliable.

We're on the Canadian side, an hour from Toronto, 30 mins to Buffalo. Toronto ticket prices are disgusting, I pretty much refuse to go there for a game. Buffalo is so much better and they treat Canadians like one of their own, unless you're a Loafs fan.

Flames are the opposite of the Oilers - bad against bad teams and good against good teams

Yeah id do the same in your shoes. 30 min away is such a luxury. That's how far it is for me to get to a Canucks game. Even when they stink tickets are costly. Now that they're a playoff team its $180-200ea for quasi decent seats vs flames later this month. That's a tough pill. First round bleeders are going for $300+. Nothing like leafs tix for sure but rich for my blood.

Leafs playoff tickets usually start at $1000 for nose bleeds. I always laugh when people pay top price for the 2 games before they're eliminated lol.

Wolf standing strong so far. He's a little small though so I'm a little worried however.

 

[super6646]

Why did we sign Rooney for another season?

 

[Felidae]

Solid PK

Edit: woops, spoke too soon

 

[super6646]

Ah shucks!

I have to say though, I'm not sure that was entirely unstoppable. It's the size mechanics that worries me, something else about size too. I'm worried if Wolf can cut it out at the NHL level.

 

[Felidae]

That's an ugly goal to give up.

 

[Backlund]

Why did we sign Rooney for another season?

Conroy has an unhealthy attachment to players

 

[super6646]

Now all jokes aside, Wolf might want that back. In saying that, a cross ice pass that close in the slot is not something you should be given up lol

Another game where the zone coverage is trash. Still not sure why Huska came in to one of the strongest possession teams in the NHL and decided the system is the problem.

The team has 2 top 4 dmen and 1 former top 4 dmen who is coming back from being out 2 seasons. Ofc the coverage is shit.
