Flames the 7-letter s-word that rhymes with homicide

I don't want to say the word out loud. But are any of you guys contemplating doing such actions? If so, are your reasons Flames-related or other cruel circumstances not related to hockey?

What would be the threshold for you [as a Flames fan] to metaphorically "want to jump off the cliff?"

For me, it would be a 2023 Stanley Cup Final between Edmonton Oilers (provincial/most hated rival) and Florida Panthers (assuming they make the playoffs, and making me salty watching Tkachuk carry the team to the finals).
Also another reason for jumping off the cliff would be Brad Treliving getting extended even though he should've been fired for failing to seal the Gaudreau deal.

BTW, if you guys are contemplating such actions, please contact 911 or the special hotline (1-833-456-4566). I don't want to see any of you die by your own hands.

I'm trying to shake negativity off me, put things in perspective and try to be a better person that doesn't rely on sports to determine my happiness. I hope you guys do the same thing as well (Sorry if i'm being too preachy).

That 7 letter word is nothing to joke about and this thread should be locked.

In Glasgow, domestic assaults were elevated whenever the Celtics played the Rangers. Strathclyde police research found that on days when Rangers played Celtic domestic abuse incidents rose by up to 138.8%.

If you're taking the Flames too seriously, take a break and remember it's not worth your life or your family.

This is both deeply concerning and confusing.

I think the OP is trying to do the CP community a public service. The post should be applauded

You could have got your point across without being as dramatic and tone deaf as possible. Under no circumstances should there ever be any crossover between the results of sporting events and something as serious as what you've brought up.

I just lost a very dear person to me, whom I knew my entire life, to the reasons you outlined(nothing to do with sports). And honestly, this thread feels like a gut punch.

That said, you should probably take a break from hockey or sports when entertainment turns into anger, sadness, and depression. You don't have control or influence the outcome, so you shouldn't take responsibility by making your life miserable.

If you need someone to talk to feel free to message me. Hopefully, things will workout for you, and you will be able to find your happy place.

As a lifelong supporter of one of these teams, it’s both sets of supporters and it’s the booze. It’s a terrible blight on the match and country.

To anyone going through a tough time, no matter what sport or team, please please get help. Team losses suck but it’s a sport! Just turn the game off.
