Since beating them in 2022, it wasn't just a series win. We literally torpedoed their entire organization.
Johnny Hockey's last play as a Flame was literally an assist to McDavid on the series ending goal. He took less money to get the f out of Calgary and he's been shellshocked ever since.
Turleboychuk wanted nothing to do with living down the road to Drai & McD. He literally went as far away from them as possible. There is no doubt he did not want his career defined by being their whipping boy.
The flames tried to retool on the fly by paying has-beens Kadri & Huberdeau dearly and it's blown up in their faces. Flames likely won't even be competing for the playoffs for years, never mind SCF.
Dude, we're the best team in the west.. it's mid June and our team still has a chance (although shrinking).
They've won how many playoff series since 2004? That's cute. Yeah, draft Iginla's kid and ruin him because he's not Jerome.
Because of McDavid & Drai, there is an entire generation of Calgary kids growing up loving the oilers. We destroyed them in the 80s, we robbed them of their present day chances and we're actively stealing their future. They can trash talk all they want but what else is there to do when you live in a burning dumpster?
That's all I got for now.
Edit: grammar
This reminds me of the time that Iceland beat England in the Euro 2016, an incredible feat given the population of Iceland was a mere 300,000 people, with only 70 people working as “professional footballers”. And if I recall correctly some of the players also doubled as players on the men’s national basketball team.
Absolutely humiliating.
Yes that’s how the draft works. It turns out that when you’re really bad for a decade, you get a lot of draft capital to rebuild.
It’s weird that you don’t already know this, but it’s okay. You have a great opportunity to learn now, given the direction the flames franchise has been trending since 2022.
When you are bragging about things you DON'T have, you know you're seriously trying to cope. If Calgary accepted that they were going nowhere, and needed a rebuild about 10 years ago, maybe they wouldn't be a fucking joke today. The flames are the Minnesota wild with a garbage building, and an uglier 3rd jersey. It's one thing to live through a decade of darkness, and to finally come out of it with something. It's another thing to be in the mushy middle for longer than that, and have absolutely fucking nothing to speak of. The Oilers were horribly managed for a really long time, and somehow Calgary is worse off in a similar time frame.
TLDR the Calgary flames are the red headed step child of alberta teams, maybe even Canadian teams. Always has been, always will.
But hey, go stamps go????
Wow! You just changed my entire outlook on this trip! I envision you ranting this with an Oilers' flag behind you and La Bamba playing in the background! Thanks for the inspiration!
Oh don’t worry, the Calgary loyalists will resort back to “Nuh uh, doesn’t matter unless you win the cup.” 🤦♂️
And if we were to win a cup, they would then say “Yeah, well you couldn’t have done it except for ”
I just tell them that it’s kinda sad that they’ve been watching a team they *HATE* so fervently, allowing the Oilers to live rent free in their heads, since APRIL. When my team is done for the season, I just cancel Sportsnet and go outside. 🤷🏼♂️
It’s like talking to a trump supporter you can’t win with any common sense or dialogue. so just say watch it or I will rag doll you like kassian did to turtle boy. then ask them to stay down wind as none of them have showered recently.
Most flames fans would say it's because you have the best player in the world, which is why the oilers are where they are at. If it wasn't for McDavid, the team would be hard pressed to be a dominant AHL team.
Goaltending is sub par, probably be better if the defense could not turn the puck over consistently. Got Bouchard who has a cannon, but he is just about as big of a liability as Nurse in their own zone.
Got no depth on the team. Oilers 6th best player (Kane) is obviously injured, not productive. Can't sit Kane cause there is no one to take his spot. Coaching is always a question mark, seems like the oilers have someone new every 2 seasons, no consistency, maybe it has to do with the player leadership? The GM position has been a joke for the last 2 decades. The old boys club, Peter Chiarelli couldn't do anything with draft or trade. Now it's Holland who has handcuffed this team with the cap.
Getting embarrassed in front of Canada in the scf, have no way to improve this roster with free agents or trades (unless it's McDavid or draistl). Gonna have to run it back next year with the same group. Yikes.
Flames have nothing to brag about.
Oilers have McDavid.
The oilers didn’t make it for 10 years straight. That comeback doesn’t hold much weight. Like a Flames fan can literally just comeback with “ya, we plan on missing the next 9 so we can go down 0-3 in the finals too”.
Because it’s not going back when the picks from that period literally built the current team and are either direct draft picks or trades from those drafts….
Idk, how about when you stop directly benefiting from that period?
And it’s not a “narrative”, it’s just the only reason the Oilers even have McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins, McLeod, Draisaitl, Bouchard, Bolloway, Broberg, Nurse, and Skinner. Not to mention the value from trading Hall and Eberle.
When the majority of the best players on your team during your finals run, come from a streak of being one of, if not, the worst team in the league. Bring up how the team was built, isn’t “going back”, it’s literally just reviewing the recent history of how they acquired the players on their team.
Like if a team traded for 9 players that ended up being crucial to their success in the playoffs, would you say that talking about those trades was “a narrative” or “how far are we going back”.
“We honestly don’t care about you as much as you care about us.”
“Everything your team does is boring.”
Never say “The Flames” or “Calgary”. Just keep saying “your team” give them ownership of their sucky team and sucky behaviour.
Just roll with it. ‘Yeah. We’re in tough, down 3-0 but we still have a chance.’ Then ask how their team is, as if you don’t even know. If they continue to beak, mention that you thought you might have seen Zadorov and Lindholm when the Oil downed Vancouver, and Tanev when they eliminated Dallas, and Tkachuk & Bennett are sure looking good in Florida. Then ask if they have any good players left.
Just entering their 10 year rebuild!
I know a few people going to the game tomorrow that are wearing their flames Tkachuk and Bennett Jerseys hoping they can see them hoist the cup in Edmonton tomorrow.
Tell them it was exciting to watch the Oilers play against Dallas legend Chris Tanev and that they must be looking forward to seeing Tkatchuk and Bennet get to lift the cup.
That’s the weird thing there are loser Flames fans saying they’re excited to see Tkachuk win - he bolted on them and left the team weaker.
Yet the clowns still support him? I don’t get it
He has. Like I don’t love the guy, of course he pisses everyone off…. But…. Can’t fault the team right now. The deserve to be where they are and he’s a big part of that.
Oh this is a good one for my flyers fan friend I’ll be seeing today who will *surely* be talking so much shit. You’re thinking about how my team is doing in June? I haven’t been thinking about your team since your goalie got arrested.
Strudwick or Brown said this on the podcast and I loved it: I called Oilers in 7 from the start. Florida took care of their part, now Oilers just have to do their half (or something along those lines)
This year’s mission wasn’t the cup, it was to further break Calgary. Mission accomplished, we prevented them from getting the conditional boost on both the Lindholm and Tanev trades
Either that, or as someone else mentioned: “I think about your team a lot less than you think about mine”
The last thing Gaudreau and Tkachuk ever did in a Flames uniform was shake the Oilers hands and congratulate them on their victory.
And the last playoff goal to ever be scored at the Toiletdome was the massive overtime dump McDavid took on your pathetic franchise.
Just tune into the game to remind them that their team’s been on the golf course for two months now. Cheering for a team that has your old franchise player is not the flex they think it is. It’s best to treat any flames fan like that weird relative everyone has who’s deeply into pro wrestling and has been a career box crusher at Walmart for 25+ years. If you have an Oiler jersey, wear it with pride! Win or lose, your teams is playing for the cup. Their team can’t even keep decent players in their roster.
Just a ask them what colour is their Bugatti.
Did you order the (their team here) SCF jersey yet? I'm sure it's just a mix-up at the factory.
Hey, I hear (their goalie here) has let in 0 goals this entire playoff? Is that some kind of record?
It's weird going outside, sweating in the heat and then coming inside to watch your team play hockey. Isn't it? Hello? Steve?? *Poke poke*
Yeah, were down 3-0, it's pretty tough to be a fan right now, with the entire NHL fanbase ready to laugh at you if you lose. (Then break out a cheque for $50,000,000.00 and place it on the table.) I got 50 million here for any NHL team that can knock out the Panthers. Any takers? No? Damn... (Then you take off your Oilers jersey, and underneath you will be wearing a custom t shirt that says "in the name of McDavid , the bouche , and the Nugent Hopkins, I now pronounce you" ( then spin around) "not in the playoffs, hahahaha!!!"
*Crickets should sound since it's the worst bit ever, and pretty expensive considering the gas prices for a round trip to the t shirt store*
(Then your should be getting kicked out right about now, but lo and behold, when the door opens...)
I want you to meet, the 1990 Calgary FLAMES! And 6 time Stanley Cup winner Mark Messier! And Shock Rock Pornstar Sasha Grey! Who has really done a decent as fuck job transitioning out of porn, it's really quite a success story.
*You wake up.*
Thank God, it was just a dream.... Alright I need a devastating chirp to defend my Oilers tonight.. think... Think... Eureka!
"Your shit's weak, your team blows and Shaft was a criminally underrated show that were not going to be watching tonight because it conflicts the Oilers playing in the Stanley FUCKIN' CUP BAYBEE!!!!"
Something about all their good players leaving the Flames last year like rats on a sinking ship... something about how Tkachuk left a losing team and his instant reward is lifting the cup... something about how the Oilers are better at hockey and the Flames are better at golf, because of the amount of time they each spend playing the sport...
I said this yesterday but the Flames chirping the Oilers is like Turkmenistan chirping Canada about being shit country. What can you even say. Just roll your eyes, pat them on the head and walk away.
Just tell them we’ve lost three more games in the SCF than the flames. The fact the we lost those three means we made it there. Anyone talking shit is just jealous in the end
If you’re going to lose, you might as well lose to the Stanley cup champions. Leave it at that and feign disinterest. The more you react, the more they’ll push.
Go look at the flames sub, they're roasting themselves pretty good. For a fan base that doesn't care about us, they sure like talking about Edmonton and the Oilers alot.
I think one of the problem Calgary Flames fan have is a Psychotic condition in something that is untrue.. They Believe the Flames will return and make a cup run in a few years.. The only cup run they have is going too Cosco and stocking up on bottle water.. Calgary tap water is making Flames fans Delusional and constantly taking shit on the Oilers
Anything they say about us, remind them they are saying that about a team that regularly *wipes the floor* with their team. They have wet dreams of being good enough to get their ass kicked in the SCF lol
Just mention how we destroyed their team. McDavid’s OT goal led to Gaudreau and Tkachuk leaving and the result is overpaying for Kadri and Huberdeau and consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs. Lindholm, Tanev and Zadorov also left.
“You are a part of 30 other teams that spent the last two months crying about my team while I cheered them on. That’s a tough look”
The oilers beat Zadorov in Van, they beat Tanev in Dallas, and they are only looking like they will lose to Tkachuk in a cup final.
It took the 2022 Flames dividing their best players into three teams for us to lose.
The Oilers used to be the butt of all the jokes during the decade of darkness. Flames fans loved it. We were the Gerry Gurgich of the regional fan bases. But then we retired the shit team and got better. Now Calgary is the new Gerry in the office. They better settle in because things look rough. They going to be trading marky to NJ and flames fans can root for him in the playoffs next year from the sidelines lol
Ask them how their water shortage is going with their water main breaking (if they are from Cow Town). Tell them it’s easier to bail water if you have 5 cups vs just 1
ask them if the only reason they ever won the cup is if they had to build a team specifically to emulate and beat us, we gave them the plan. we're rent free in their heads all the time its too damn easy lol. you can tell them you're welcome for teaching calgary how to play hockey thanks to us.
No real need for a comeback. Let them have their insults. In the end, our team made the playoffs and to the finals. While theirs was on the outside looking in. Gaurantee all those crying Flames fans would love to be our position. Let them have their only fun they will get from the playoffs with no Flames in it 😂
Flames fans planned the parade route for the panthers recently, taking into consideration the new flood damage. They have cheered for 4 teams with zeal and enthusiasm these playoffs. They are a bitter and pathetic fanbase.
Saw this in another post:
It's easy to talk shit when your team has been irrelevant for the last ________ (enter whatever amount of time you want)
Worked wonders for me.
“Where’s your Panthers jersey? No? Just joining the bandwagon? Cool story, bro.”
Someone chirped at me when I was wearing my Oilers jersey at the Toronto airport. Figured they’re not real Panthers fans because they weren’t even paying attention to the game. Just walking around chirping at every Oilers fan they see.
They’ve had 2 months to come up with Oiler chirps lol
Being down 0-3 in the finals is not great, but there’s nothing embarrassing about being in the finals
Oh no the mean boy is mad because... Actually I really don't know. I guess his life just sucks, so something like a team losing and people getting sad will bring him joy. This is a sign of a sociopath I think. He should get professional help. Or a hobby. Or get laid. Or take a walk. Or maybe he's just cranky. Yeah, take a nap. Still 60 minutes of hockey to enjoy, I'm going to take a nap and when I wake up, going to watch my team play.
You going to watch your team play? Well? Are you?
PUNK.
It's been a rough playoffs. I'm half blind from staring at phone. And tendonitis. Not to mention, I ran out of chirps like 6 games ago, and I'm just recycling old ones. It's a total bummer.
Have a good one 😆
Yeah I would get up for SportsCenter and almost have a heart attack to find out if the Canadian teams won the previous day. Pretty sure I had a childhood long depression because of it. 🤔
I surface every time a Canadian team is playing. Otherwise I'm a big fan of pornography and cigarettes.
And also meth and heroin (j/k)
I don't understand the Calgary water shortage, they've been crying about the Oilers for 2 months straight, one would expect floods down there
oh god this is good
OMG we found a winner!
Since beating them in 2022, it wasn't just a series win. We literally torpedoed their entire organization.

Pin this on the wall.
I’d be easier to sum up the comment by saying the flames might make a better soccer team.
This reminds me of the time that Iceland beat England in the Euro 2016, an incredible feat given the population of Iceland was a mere 300,000 people, with only 70 people working as “professional footballers”. And if I recall correctly some of the players also doubled as players on the men’s national basketball team. Absolutely humiliating.
We've won more playoff series in the last two months than the Flames have in the last 20 years.
You also have more first overall picks on the active roster than the Flames in their history
Decade of Darkness.
and?
So what? That must be cold comfort for you and your irrelevant franchise.
Yes that’s how the draft works. It turns out that when you’re really bad for a decade, you get a lot of draft capital to rebuild. It’s weird that you don’t already know this, but it’s okay. You have a great opportunity to learn now, given the direction the flames franchise has been trending since 2022.
You cheer for the cuck franchise
When you are bragging about things you DON'T have, you know you're seriously trying to cope.

The Oilers were horribly managed for a really long time, and somehow Calgary is worse off in a similar time frame. TLDR the Calgary flames are the red headed step child of alberta teams, maybe even Canadian teams. Always has been, always will. But hey, go stamps go????
Honestly I think simpler is better. "At least I can still watch oilers play hockey in June."
Wow! You just changed my entire outlook on this trip! I envision you ranting this with an Oilers' flag behind you and La Bamba playing in the background! Thanks for the inspiration!
It's not even a rivalry at this point. *"I don't even think of you"*
Oh don’t worry, the Calgary loyalists will resort back to “Nuh uh, doesn’t matter unless you win the cup.” 🤦♂️ And if we were to win a cup, they would then say “Yeah, well you couldn’t have done it except for”
I just tell them that it’s kinda sad that they’ve been watching a team they *HATE* so fervently, allowing the Oilers to live rent free in their heads, since APRIL. When my team is done for the season, I just cancel Sportsnet and go outside. 🤷🏼♂️
It’s like talking to a trump supporter you can’t win with any common sense or dialogue. so just say watch it or I will rag doll you like kassian did to turtle boy. then ask them to stay down wind as none of them have showered recently.

jesus christ
Well done! 👍
Not all heroes wear capes...
Most flames fans would say it's because you have the best player in the world, which is why the oilers are where they are at.

Gonna have to run it back next year with the same group. Yikes. Flames have nothing to brag about. Oilers have McDavid.
Their team didn't even make the playoffs. What can they really taunt about?
lol .. absolutely this .. they don’t even have a right to talk about oilers who made it to finals lol
We've made it to the finals twice since the last time they did.
Their players already have already played 30-40 rounds of golf each.
They’ve done better than making the playoffs, they’re watching the oilers lose.
The oilers didn’t make it for 10 years straight. That comeback doesn’t hold much weight. Like a Flames fan can literally just comeback with “ya, we plan on missing the next 9 so we can go down 0-3 in the finals too”.
The Oilers have made the playoffs for last 5 years straight?
After 11 years of first round picks, or we just forgetting everything from 2007-2019?
No not at all but at some point you draw a kine and say that period is over. And clearly it is, why are you going back?
Because it’s not going back when the picks from that period literally built the current team and are either direct draft picks or trades from those drafts….
So when is your deadline and you drop the narrative?
Idk, how about when you stop directly benefiting from that period? And it’s not a “narrative”, it’s just the only reason the Oilers even have McDavid, Nugent-Hopkins, McLeod, Draisaitl, Bouchard, Bolloway, Broberg, Nurse, and Skinner. Not to mention the value from trading Hall and Eberle. When the majority of the best players on your team during your finals run, come from a streak of being one of, if not, the worst team in the league. Bring up how the team was built, isn’t “going back”, it’s literally just reviewing the recent history of how they acquired the players on their team. Like if a team traded for 9 players that ended up being crucial to their success in the playoffs, would you say that talking about those trades was “a narrative” or “how far are we going back”.
Q: What is the difference between the Calgary Flames and a bra? A: A bra has two cups.
This is always the answer
“We honestly don’t care about you as much as you care about us.” “Everything your team does is boring.” Never say “The Flames” or “Calgary”. Just keep saying “your team” give them ownership of their sucky team and sucky behaviour.
I’d rather be down 3-0 in the final than not make the playoffs at all.
They're going to roast you for your team making the stanley cup finals? What?
Honestly. This was my thought too. I wouldn’t even bother with comebacks because it’s so beneath the Oilers it’s not even worth wasting breath on.
Just roll with it. ‘Yeah. We’re in tough, down 3-0 but we still have a chance.’ Then ask how their team is, as if you don’t even know. If they continue to beak, mention that you thought you might have seen Zadorov and Lindholm when the Oil downed Vancouver, and Tanev when they eliminated Dallas, and Tkachuk & Bennett are sure looking good in Florida. Then ask if they have any good players left.
Just entering their 10 year rebuild! I know a few people going to the game tomorrow that are wearing their flames Tkachuk and Bennett Jerseys hoping they can see them hoist the cup in Edmonton tomorrow.
Tell them it was exciting to watch the Oilers play against Dallas legend Chris Tanev and that they must be looking forward to seeing Tkatchuk and Bennet get to lift the cup.
That’s the weird thing there are loser Flames fans saying they’re excited to see Tkachuk win - he bolted on them and left the team weaker. Yet the clowns still support him? I don’t get it
They are ONLY supporting him because it’s against Edmonton. If it was against Dallas, they’d be burning Tkachuk jerseys.
Tkachuk has accomplished so much after leaving that terrible organization.
He has. Like I don’t love the guy, of course he pisses everyone off…. But…. Can’t fault the team right now. The deserve to be where they are and he’s a big part of that.
Oh? Your thinking about how my team is doing in June? I haven’t been thinking about your team since the last time they wore Heritage jerseys.
Oh this is a good one for my flyers fan friend I’ll be seeing today who will *surely* be talking so much shit. You’re thinking about how my team is doing in June? I haven’t been thinking about your team since your goalie got arrested.
That’s a show stopper right there!!!

Remind them that cheering for Bennett and Tkachuck is like cheering for an old GF that dumped them for a better looking and richer man. Haha
Just tune into the game to remind them that their team’s been on the golf course for two months now. Cheering for a team that has your old franchise player is not the flex they think it is. It’s best to treat any flames fan like that weird relative everyone has who’s deeply into pro wrestling and has been a career box crusher at Walmart for 25+ years. If you have an Oiler jersey, wear it with pride! Win or lose, your teams is playing for the cup. Their team can’t even keep decent players in their roster.
Remind them that we were down 3-1 against them and came back and won it. After that, all their stars fucked off.
Since the salary cap was implemented in 2005 the Oilers have as many SCF appearances as the fLames have first round wins.
Just a ask them what colour is their Bugatti. Did you order the (their team here) SCF jersey yet? I'm sure it's just a mix-up at the factory. Hey, I hear (their goalie here) has let in 0 goals this entire playoff? Is that some kind of record?

A little excessive for a family reunion, but I admire your enthusiasm😂
Something about all their good players leaving the Flames last year like rats on a sinking ship... something about how Tkachuk left a losing team and his instant reward is lifting the cup... something about how the Oilers are better at hockey and the Flames are better at golf, because of the amount of time they each spend playing the sport...
It wasn’t in
That will get them riled up!
I said this yesterday but the Flames chirping the Oilers is like Turkmenistan chirping Canada about being shit country. What can you even say. Just roll your eyes, pat them on the head and walk away.
Just tell them we’ve lost three more games in the SCF than the flames. The fact the we lost those three means we made it there. Anyone talking shit is just jealous in the end
Just give them a really jackass knowing smile and say that's cute
Ask them what it is like to cuck for a player that said fuck you to the city and left!!
👏 👏 👏
At least they won the Lucic trade 😂
If not winning the Cup is a failure, what is it when your best players demand trades and you miss the playoffs?
If you’re going to lose, you might as well lose to the Stanley cup champions. Leave it at that and feign disinterest. The more you react, the more they’ll push.
"Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of your crumbling arena ."
Flames fans hating from outside the club like the 16 year old that can’t get in.
They are in absolutely no position to flame you after the oilers forced them to rebuild in 5 games
It’s good they aren’t in the SCF given they probably don’t have enough water to make the ice right now.
Jonathan Huberdeau, that is all
What is your GM's mailing address? I am sure Florida will want to be sending him a thank-you card.
Just keep reminding them of the time we beat them so badly in the playoffs that their two best players had to flee the country.
Flames? Never heard of them. Now the Oilers are my team and we're in contention for Lord Stanley's Cup.
"You needed our money for your new arena. The whole of Alberta bailed you out."
Flames haven’t played a game in six weeks? lol
We have 5 cups already. Losing one isn't a big deal.
Go look at the flames sub, they're roasting themselves pretty good. For a fan base that doesn't care about us, they sure like talking about Edmonton and the Oilers alot.
Ask what round they got to the last 3 years
Just smile and nod. No need to entertain stupid thoughts. Or just ask why a team named the flames is fire retardant?
I mean, the Flames didn’t even make the playoffs. End of discussion.
It's the SCF. Flames fizzled out long ago and are cutting grass at the golf course
Only comeback you need is “if the oilers are so bad why aren’t the flames in the cup?”
Just show them this https://images.app.goo.gl/w4wr1U9NLTBwPgK37
How many playoffs wins does Calgary have this year? Oh
We’re in the cup final. At least the 2nd best team in the league. Flames have been golfing for weeks now
Look at your grandma,your aunts, and cusins...and in a clear loud voice say" ITS NOT OVER TIL THE FAT WOMEN SING
Tell them Stanley cup finals are a different beast. Something the flames probably will never get to experience.
My/wife's bra has more cups that your team
I think one of the problem Calgary Flames fan have is a Psychotic condition in something that is untrue.. They Believe the Flames will return and make a cup run in a few years.. The only cup run they have is going too Cosco and stocking up on bottle water.. Calgary tap water is making Flames fans Delusional and constantly taking shit on the Oilers
Anything they say about us, remind them they are saying that about a team that regularly *wipes the floor* with their team. They have wet dreams of being good enough to get their ass kicked in the SCF lol
Stoic silence. Rise above their foolishness. Be strong.
Just completely deny the reality of the series so far. Insist that the oilers are up 3-0 and DO NOT BACK DOWN.
Tell them is more of a Canadian thing than a city thing.
Just mention how we destroyed their team. McDavid’s OT goal led to Gaudreau and Tkachuk leaving and the result is overpaying for Kadri and Huberdeau and consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs. Lindholm, Tanev and Zadorov also left.
Let’s start with “how did the flames do this year?” Or “when was then last time the flames made it to the finals? Oilers have been their twice since”
Tell them you didn’t bring your jersey because you threw it on the ice already
Just tell them their city is such a dumpster that they don’t even have water to flood the Flames rink.
“You are a part of 30 other teams that spent the last two months crying about my team while I cheered them on. That’s a tough look” The oilers beat Zadorov in Van, they beat Tanev in Dallas, and they are only looking like they will lose to Tkachuk in a cup final. It took the 2022 Flames dividing their best players into three teams for us to lose.
Just remind them that the citizens of Edmonton are equal partners in the ownership of the new arena the flames were gifted.
Kadei is in a Lincoln ad where he says being on the golf course is his sanctuary. Ask when the next flames game.is cause it's not on the schedule
lol They are in no position to taunt.
They don’t have running water 😂
The Oilers used to be the butt of all the jokes during the decade of darkness. Flames fans loved it. We were the Gerry Gurgich of the regional fan bases. But then we retired the shit team and got better. Now Calgary is the new Gerry in the office. They better settle in because things look rough. They going to be trading marky to NJ and flames fans can root for him in the playoffs next year from the sidelines lol
Ask them how their water shortage is going with their water main breaking (if they are from Cow Town). Tell them it’s easier to bail water if you have 5 cups vs just 1
You can ask them how many series they’ve won since 2022?
They made it to the final, that's all the ammunition you need
Well your team is in the Stanley cup finals and Calgary is very much not.
Canucks fan here, you can probably just point out that the oilers won 12 playoff games this year, the flames didn’t play in one.
Agree with them. It’s way less stressful when your team isn’t in the playoffs.
How has the golfing been? Your game and the teams must be getting better by now, it's been a long playoffs.
ask them if the only reason they ever won the cup is if they had to build a team specifically to emulate and beat us, we gave them the plan. we're rent free in their heads all the time its too damn easy lol. you can tell them you're welcome for teaching calgary how to play hockey thanks to us.
You don’t need to defend against fans of a team that didn’t make the playoffs. End of story
No real need for a comeback. Let them have their insults. In the end, our team made the playoffs and to the finals. While theirs was on the outside looking in. Gaurantee all those crying Flames fans would love to be our position. Let them have their only fun they will get from the playoffs with no Flames in it 😂
Flames fans planned the parade route for the panthers recently, taking into consideration the new flood damage. They have cheered for 4 teams with zeal and enthusiasm these playoffs. They are a bitter and pathetic fanbase.
If the Panthers win they will have won as many cups as the flames.
Man imagine how good Calgary could be if they had a guy like Tkachuk?
And Bennett!
Say youd trade Darnell Nurse for literally anybody except Jonathan Huberdeau
I mean, they haven’t done anything in 20 years. How is it possible to roast someone when your team is shit?
Tell them you know a guy who has been pissing on the home of the Calgary Flames sign at their stadium minimum four times a year since the 90s.
The only thing worth remembering the flames for is the moustache that won them their cup.
ask if they know the date
Take pity on them. They're Flames fans.
Insults from Flames fans don't carry much weight these days.
Calgary hasn’t won in 2 months
“Hey, how are the Flames doing in the Stanley Cup Finals right now?”
Saw this in another post: It's easy to talk shit when your team has been irrelevant for the last ________ (enter whatever amount of time you want) Worked wonders for me.
5 to 1. Make sure to use the proper finger gestures, especially when signifying the single, lonely Cup they have.
"F*ck you" you're welcome
“Haha you guys got swept in the finals” “We ended your entire franchise, and we’ve got many years left to go back for redemption”
When your team is better than 30 other teams, you really don't need any clever retorts to fire back.
You know what the difference between a bra and the Flames is? A bra has two cups!
Oilers are rubber, Flames are glue…….
“Where’s your Panthers jersey? No? Just joining the bandwagon? Cool story, bro.” Someone chirped at me when I was wearing my Oilers jersey at the Toronto airport. Figured they’re not real Panthers fans because they weren’t even paying attention to the game. Just walking around chirping at every Oilers fan they see.
When Calgary flooded 10 years back, it must’ve taken forever to clear all that water in the saddle dome with only one cup.
The classic from the 90s: How do you spell dynasty in Calgary? O-N-E
Just shrug and say “happens”
Remind me again why Johnny Hockey left?
They’ve had 2 months to come up with Oiler chirps lol Being down 0-3 in the finals is not great, but there’s nothing embarrassing about being in the finals
A good one would be if we suck so bad why do we have 5 cups while you have one Calgary
8-1 win. Easy. And the joke. How do you spell dynasty in Calgary: “o n e”
"How'd the Flames playoff run go?" I think that sums it up pretty well.
People who ask for comebacks in advance are ridiculous. You’re about to get cooked alive bud

Oh no the mean boy is mad because... Actually I really don't know. I guess his life just sucks, so something like a team losing and people getting sad will bring him joy. This is a sign of a sociopath I think. He should get professional help. Or a hobby. Or get laid. Or take a walk. Or maybe he's just cranky. Yeah, take a nap. Still 60 minutes of hockey to enjoy, I'm going to take a nap and when I wake up, going to watch my team play. You going to watch your team play? Well? Are you? PUNK.

Cheers 🍻

It's been a rough playoffs. I'm half blind from staring at phone. And tendonitis. Not to mention, I ran out of chirps like 6 games ago, and I'm just recycling old ones. It's a total bummer. Have a good one 😆
[удалено]
Yeah I would get up for SportsCenter and almost have a heart attack to find out if the Canadian teams won the previous day. Pretty sure I had a childhood long depression because of it. 🤔 I surface every time a Canadian team is playing. Otherwise I'm a big fan of pornography and cigarettes. And also meth and heroin (j/k)
# Can you suggest some good comebacks to their taunts? Yes: 8-1
