  1. Why does Telus always have to pick one annoying song and run the same commercial all fucking season. Switch it up for the love of god

  2. Nice to see Canucks fans keeping the Sedin legacy alive by being little pussys about anything and everything

  3. I’m happy our kids look alright. Since calling them up theyve made the games, at the very least, entertaining to watch

  4. Ya know how we say “Laine doesn’t return his cart to the corral” and “Doughty likes his steak burnt” … Miller chats shit to kids and doesn’t follow through. Oh wait. That’s actually true.

  5. Ryan, Eric and Cory hitting the nail on the head about Pospisil. Hard nose kid. That’s why we love him..

  6. Y’all gotta look at this season as a win win. Either we lost and inch closer to rebuilding, or we win and can laugh at whatever pathetic franchise lost to this 23-24 flames

  7. Mm yes. Keep pumping up zads. Up that trade value. (Ignore all his defensive liabilities)

  8. Question: what is Ruzicka’s realistic ceiling as an nhl player? He’s always so hot and cold

  9. I like how a couple of years ago Ron McLean said “tarps off” and a bunch of idiots, who didn’t know what that meant, so defaulted to being offended forcing McLean to have to apologize to keep from getting cancelled.

    Now it is the basis for a commercial

  10. Ownership: retool

    Flames fans: rebuild

    Ownership: reinjuvinate

    Flames fans: rebuild!

    Ownership: renovate

    Flames fans: rebuild.

    Ownership: re..

    Flames fans: BUILD.
