Default Reddit Roast of the Calgary Flames

It's starting to be a slow off season and I found this somewhat entertaining, though kind of lame compared to the other roasts.

The reddit hockey community is doing a roast of each hockey team this summer and today was Calgary's day. I didn't see a thread about it, but please lock if it's being discussed elsewhere.

Enjoy? You can check some of the other teams' roasts on the subreddit as well.

"With Mike Smith as their goalie, the Flames can definitely be sure that it was in" - Random Bolts Fan.

That one stings.

Some of those are pretty good--like the one about Scorch's self-immolation to avoid staying a Flames fan, or how we don't want a new arena as bad as we want a new arena for Anaheim. Those are clever.

But man--there are a lot of people on there who "roast" the way Michael Scott did...

How about this post. State of California has had three droughts stop and start while the Flames drought continues...ouch.

"The goaltending situation has been so brutal that fans are genuinely optimistic to have Mike Smith as the starter."

"You guys are somehow the little brother in your province to a team that spent the last decade tanking"

Ouch

I've never seen this comment before:

"They don't live up to their name except when they're burning out in the playoffs"

Damn. That's so savage.

There are definitely some really good ones in there. Reddit is great for that sort of thing.

You guys are like that little brother that always gets overlooked.
Sure, you just got accepted to a pretty good university, but we just got accepted to Harvard, full ride.
Oh what's that? You just started dating your highschool crush? Mother####er, we just got engaged to Wanda Gretzman, AKA Ms. Universe.
Okay, you worked hard and are about to graduate with honours! Oh yeah, we just finished up degree number five.
Finally, the fam falls on hard times, we lose our job, the wife leaves us, we move back in with the parents, but you're too proud. Ma and Pa are behind on their mortgage, we're about to lose the family house! Hold up, your fourth quarter sales figures have earned you a raise! A fat raise too! You're going to be okay, and you can cover mom and dad's mortgage payment! We don't have to give up the home! Finally! You get to be the hero!
"That's great news dear, but did you hear about your brother?" That dreaded phrase that has dominated conversation since your birth. "He just won the Lotto Max!"
Time to start that business we were always talking about. Wait our phone's blowing up, maybe we'll just take some cushy upper management job. Mom and Dad? Get ready to retire to the beach house courtesy of your favourite son. Sorry little bro, looks like it's time for you to go back to where you belong: our shadow.
Oh by the way, you were adopted from some couple in Georgia.
I feel like this is one of the big reasons I hate the oilers so much.

Gotta admit - that analogy, however false, was pretty humorous ! He gets an A for creative writing.

I've only read the ones posted in this thread, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised. I thought it'd just be the usual stupid Oiler fan tired joke of "what's the difference between the Flames and a bra?" thing. Oiler fans take note that good chirps are about present day/recent history, not 30 fricken years ago.

It's like chirping a Red Wings fan that they were terrible in the 80s. Like, yeah, true, but ...

I could only find last year : https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/4tjnpg/rhockey_roast_of_the_edmonton_oilers_1730/ , so I'm guessing not yet

Thankfully not true, but it's sad that I had to think about it for a second.
