SBN's Flames vs Blue Jackets Coverage
First and foremost, here's the explanation of the title, which of course had to be "cleaned up" for publication. This (NSFW!!!) clip is how I feel/felt about last night's game:
I honestly don't have a lot else to say in preparation for this game. Blah blah blah, never outworked. Brick by brick. Please for the love of God, score a goal and don't allow seven goals. Also of note, after last night's game, CALGARY IS NOW THE WORST DEFENSIVE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE!!1! What could possibly go wrong?
So, uh, Jackets, you guys should maybe just suck it up and go to White Castle.
