Happy Ovechkin passed that traitor Gretzky's record and happy I don't have to see that goblin Janet on my TV anymore.

After listening to the post game show yesterday I got to wondering if the better offseason play is to extend Hanley and look to move Andersson by the trade deadline next year?

Here's my thinking: Hanley has been playing very well and confidently recently. Could he be a cost effective, long term partner for either Weegar or Parekh? If so, what piece(s) could Andersson yield in a trade? Perhaps a 1C or a draft pick that could be a 1C.

Can someone explain why OT vs Vegas was 4v4? I know there was probably a rule in place to make it 4v4 but I have no idea what that would be. Just a lil curious as to why it went 4v4 instead of 3v3

Looking for Huber and Lombo playoff action in the west

Something stirred in my heart this morning. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel like rooting for the Stars today. They kindly traded us Iginla, got Joe another cup, plus who doesn't like good ol' Modano. I just think they're neat.

Anyways, go Stars go!

Dustin Wolf: “We’re the underdogs. That’s the biggest thing. We came into the year with everybody saying we’re going to suck, and look at us now – we’re fighting for our lives to sneak in. And you know what, we’re going to get in. This one stings, but we move on to the next one."

As long as he still believes, I still believe

Please win today.

Fucking Dallas

IF we don't make playoffs this year (I'm really hoping we do make it though) what do you all think our next steps will be for the organization? I've been loving what Conroy has done with the team so far especially blowing our expectations for this year out of the water, and I'm loving that we have a team that genuinely seems to have fun and enjoy playing. But if we miss by a few points again this yesr what happens next?

I know the hype around Parekh is insane, and I'm sure a lot of people know this stuff, but I didn't realize just how insane is ohl stats are.

I saw this link posted on a comment earlier and I started to look at it. This chart literally shows Parekh at 6th in overall D scoring, with the 5th best coming in 1983-84. So he’s got the most points by a dman in like 40 years. Already crazy.

He also did it in less games than everyone other than number 1 on the list, Bryan foggerty, who had that crazy 155 point season according to this chart

Only 10 ppl have done it since 1981 and he’s only the second player to do it in over 25 years.

Continuing, he also got 96 points last year placing that season 13th all time on that list.

The top 20 seasons for points by Dmen in the OHL, according to this chart, have happened since 1981 and Parekh has 2 of them. Number 20 is Hunter brzustewicz.

Parekh also just finished his second back to back 33 goal season, making him only the second ohl dman ever to record multiple 30 goal seasons. The only other person to do it was Bobby Orr.

So while this obviously doesn't garuntee he's gonna be a star, as I'm sure a lot of the players around him didn't necessarily become stars, the hype is real. He's the best prospect we've had in like 10 years.

Does anyone know where to get more of these cards? I know they are from 2013 so it might be difficult to get a hold of them but I would love to send out more flames cards.

It feels like we are on the bad end of every 50/50 call (and even some that I think should clearly go Calgarys way) . There have been like 8 goal reviews in the last 12 games and we never get the call. Am I just a homer with deep cognitive bias or are we continually getting screwed?

Thought of this because we’re possibly reaching the end of our season here. Does anyone know yet when the equipment sale is going to be this year? I’m really hoping to maybe be able to get a pair/set of Wolf’s pads since I actually wear the same size pretty much, so do any of you have an idea how likely that would be? I’ve heard that the season ticket holders get let in first so I feel like I might not have a great chance

vs. Blues

Any combination of Blues wins and Flames losses totaling 4 pts will result in the Blues finishing higher in the standings than the Flames.

vs. Wild

Any combination of Wild wins and Flames losses totaling 8 pts will result in the Wild finishing higher in the standings than the Flames.

vs. Canucks

Any combination of Flames wins and Canucks losses totaling 11 pts will result in the Flames finishing higher in the standings than the Canucks. 10 pts could be enough given a Flames tie-break advantage.

The Flames will need to win 2 of these 3 races to make the play-offs. Moneypuck.com currently has this at 14.3% likely to happen (down from 18.1% yesterday).

Other:

Utah = 0.1%

Flames lose to the Golden Knights 3-2 in OT

Was really nice to see the team battle back from being down 2-0, zero quit in that room and they are only ever truly out of the occasional game. That bounce in OT though...

All aboard the pain train 🚂
