That's good perspective. Hope it works out that way for us, because the Stars should be cup contenders for a long time now.

Doesn't quell my disappointment in picking Stromgren 2 spots before Stankoven, unfortunately.

The Flames have played the Kings two previous times on Dec 23 since 2009 (and other years, but much earlier in December).

Last year the Flames lost on Dec 23.

I know the game you mean, Gaudreau's rookie year 9 years ago, his first hat trick including 2 in last 3 minutes to tie game. Gio in OT. vs defending Cup champs.

I think Markstrom actually said 'dad' to all the children


here it is


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Bed_with_Santa


In Bed with Santa (Swedish: Tomten är far till alla barnen, "Santa is the father to all the children") is a Swedish black comedy film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 26 November 1999,[1] directed by Kjell Sundvall. A German remake was made in 2007 under the title Messy Christmas.[2] A French remake was made in 2014 under the title Divin Enfant[3][4] A Finnish remake was made in 2019 under the title Täydellinen joulu.
Plot

Sara invites her ex-husbands and their new families to celebrate Christmas with her and her husband Janne. Sara has always wanted to have a baby with Janne, and at the dinner table she reveals the news: she's pregnant. The only problem is that Janne had a vasectomy two years ago, without Sara knowing it. The secret starts to spread among the guests, and in no time everyone knows but Sara. The party heads for a complete disaster. Who's the real father?

LOL, imagine if this is the GoT and you find out your dad was Kris Kringle? Do you automatically become an elfin?

Oh holy s###.

I know nothing of this, but this could be any genre. It could be Romance, Holiday, Comedy, Horror...that premise could go in any direction.

She could have been banging hobos down by the Bus station for all we know.

Its brilliant!

Does it help to quell your disappointment by seeing that in 2015 the Flames picked Rasmus Anderson with their first pick, a full round and 41-selections after Dallas drafted Denis Gurianov? Or, that the Flames 2020 first-rounder is already playing NHL games, and contributing at a top-line rate while Mavik Bourque has yet to debut for Dallas?

There are always players that fans feel their favourite team missed out on, and there will always be players that outperform their draft selection.

Big test for the good guys!

Kings had better not be wearing those ghastly silver helmets. Can’t stand the things.
