Default Flames v Canucks, an NHL Cruel Joke, 8:30pm MDT, some amateur SN broadcast

So this is a kick in the nuts.

After watching six really good teams open their playoff rounds today we have the privilege of watching the non-playoff edition of the Calgary Flames in another meaningless game.

The darkest of days for Flames fans.

The Flames’ season is dragging on as long as the pandemic.

Quite the piece of depressing NHL trivia. I imagine we’re one of only two teams in the history of the NHL to play (meaningless) regular season games after the start of the NHL playoffs.

At least it's not totally meaningless. The Flames still have some screwing of their draft position to do.

Things I won't be doing tonight:

Juggling swords
Having a salad for dinner
Staying up until 11:30 to watch the end of this game.

Regardless of all that, go flames

Look on the bright side. Flames are in the running most regular wins after the playoffs started. What an honour that would be. Almost as good as the preseason championship.

Go, Flames. Go.

Simple, don't watch. If you have to create some negative game thread then go outside and relax.

I know a lot of people are down on the Flames after this poor season, but I’m still excited to watch my team play. They are a great outlet for me especially during this crappy pandemic. As always, go Flames go!
