Buckle the fuck up its time for another BoA. And a reminder thanks to u/the_violet_wizard.. is on prime!

MCJESUS has apparently arisen up there in the great white north of deadmonton and accumulated 63820 points, but he is no match for the raw power of the one-two punch of the parekh griddy.

Will mcjesus continue to rise?

Or will the boy wonder gridin dance on them hoes?

Hearing some rumblings of "missed engagement" in the GDT's.. so if anyone has any suggestions.. I'm always open to them. And as usual Drop them booze time rules and them adorable pet pics.

So tune in at 630 pm for the rootenest, tootenest is that even a word GDT this side of the 78th parallel.

Thanks for u/weschester for pointing out that "Reminder to everyone that this game is exclusively on Sportsnet+ which is dumb as hell for people who still have regular tv."

Its fucking fire hockey day.

Before the last 5ish games, it wouldn't be nearly as exciting.. but top 5 PP? top 10 PK? Who even is this team.

Many fun. Such excite. Glad to be almost back again with you magnificent mother fuckers.

Do you think to yourself, eh we may be playing well.. but i still need a fun excuse to drink? Drop them drinking game rules!

Do you down a few of the bubblies, see your fuzzy, furry or feathered friend also scaley, sorry lizardy bois doing something cute and think "OTHERS NEED TO BASK IN THE CUTE GLORY THAT IS MY PET FRAND/CHILD"? Then drop them petspokemodel pics for a chance to be the highlighted, glorified pet of the game.

Puck drop at 630 pm, live from grandpa saddle.

Will we get two goals?

Will we continue to chase the Ottawa redblacks in the basement standings?

Everyone had the chance to catch their breath yet since that whirlwind of a trade deadline?

Hopefully! Because tonight at 8 pm we are back. For a kadri'less, weegarless, 7th round draft pick'less edition of fire hockey. Now including more vitamin strome! he was rushing here trying to make this game apparently..

God it feels good to see this organization really accept the rebuild although I'm in the camp that's it's been a rebuild since he took over.

Probably won't be a pretty game but who cares! We got more draft picks than the US army.

So drop them "2nd OA let's gooo" drinking rules and them "we also have a multitude of cute pets" spokepetmodel pictures and lets really enjoy the end of this great season.
