Pre-Game Talk: The Week of Raising the Banner and Facing an Old Friend (CHI, @CGY)

[dahrougem2]

It needs to be game time already. I'm almost excited for this one as if it's a playoff game.

Too bad JMFJ already has scored the season opening goal against us.

I can't wait for Boston/Washington to go into double OT and we get to miss the cup raising.

You know its going to happen lol Even if it ends in regulation the panel will talk about the game for an hr and we miss puck drop.

I see coverage begins on TNT at 7:30PM MT after the game before. Is the banner raising going to start then or are they going to miss the whole f***ing thing when the prior game inevitably goes to OT?

We'll likely miss it, cause like every game that's the 2nd half of a doubleheader on network TV, the game before will go into OT, and then probably a SO.

With "friend" you mean Zad, right?

Because all the other names on the Flames roster sound unfamiliar to me ...

The old friend is clearly Stanley Cup Champion Jack Johnson.

I'm surprised there's no game day thread up yet.

The emergency ones are my fav anyways

Holy shit they actually did it…

The Avs resurrected Blink 182 and nobody will convince me otherwise

The Jared Bednar Avalanche Coach's Show?

Who the hell came up with that name?

I can't wait for Boston/Washington to go into double OT and we get to miss the cup raising.

It will be shown on TruTV instead.

I though Mikko was gonna bury that backhander, would have been text book Mikko.
