Yeah. When chicks in Cowtown dress up for a night on the town, they put on their good sweats. Of course you don't have to worry about going out much when you have three kids before the age of 18.

Remember when the '04 Flames bumper skied their way to the Final with nary a visor to be seen? Fuck those dudes were tuff bro.

Iggy is probably the first black guy to ever be embraced by the city of Calgary. Most of them just figured he had a tan.

I recently noticed that Calgary retired Mike Vernon's number 30.....they did it a while ago, I just never noticed.

That means that the jerseys they retired belong to a coke-head who played almost half of his career for other teams, and Lanny McDonald, a guy who played less than half of his career in Calgary.

I imagine we're going to see Theo Fleury, Joe Nieuwendyk, and Al MacInnis go up at the Stanley Cup banner raising ceremony on May 16th. I mean, going by Rummy's take on things (and why wouldn't we?), the Flames are going to be given the Cup by default as all of the other teams will fold once they see how badly they outclass us on Wednesday and Friday, and they will need to get the ceremony over with right away because the league is going to present them with the 2016 Cup for the opening game of the 2015-16 season in October.....why bother waiting right?

Hey Rummy, did you hear that that 2016 Cup will be the last Stanley Cup ever presented? The NHL has decided that due to the sheer magnificence of the Calgary Flames they have decided to fold the entire NHL brand. They will restart the NNAHL (New North American) with the same franchises, but the Flames roster will be distributed throughout the league via forced trades and re-draft in order to provide some parity. The NNAHL will then require Calgary to re-brand as the Calgary Flames trademark is now far too historic. Also, all teams will sport a Calgary Flames honorary crest on the the upper chest of the jersey, and each team will wear a limited edition Calgary Flames 4th jersey when they host the newly re-branded Calgary Stampeding Mullet Fire.

I see you found the new jersey concept.....nice work.

There was some talk that the NBA, MLB, and NFL, would all pay homage to such sports greatness by having limited Calgary Flames uniforms made and worn for the first month of their seasons. Unfortunately the legalities were a bit much.....and the Stampeders ownership in Calgary made a huge fuss about the fact that the CFL wasn't included in this honor.

Oh, I almost forgot, they are going to strip Montreal of all of their Cups and give them to the Flames.

And they win every fight and the officials always favour the other team .

What's the over/under on the number of sweat-stained John Deere hats in the stands of the Saddledome for game three?

So how many Flames fans will be showing up to Rogers Arena in their acid wash jeans and their best Who Farted t shirts ? Sounds like quite a few of them are flying here from Calgary from my perusing of calpuck.

I tell ya, I lived in Calgary for almost four years, it's when I first became a Canucks fan. They are the unfriendliest, stupidest, red necks around. They actually think the stampede is a great thing. It's not. The one hing they did right was the Olympics. But other than that I hated Calgary, the city is butt ugly, the people are trash,mthe weather sucks. Stupid red neck right wing extremist shits. And I'll tell you what, I went to a playoff game there in the early 90's, the place was half full and pin drop quite, first round game. They came very close to losing the franchise when fan interest almost died. But the inbreds like to forget about those times.

But ya, Rogers place is dead as the Red Sea some games but it will be rocking come playoffs.

My experience with Calgarians has been different. I actually find most of them to be pretty friendly and outgoing, but as soon as the Vancouver Canucks or Saskatchewan Roughriders are brought up in conversation, they just completely lose their shit for whatever reason. Like they can't even say one positive thing about either team. They hate Vancouverites and Saskatchewan Roughriders, but haters are gonna hate. Calgary isn't as cool as Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal as far as cities go, but it's not too bad and it's very clean!

We will have to agree to disagree with the Stampede. Stampede is awesome!

But you know what else is awesome?! The Canucks beating the Flames, Jets, Hawks, and Rangers en route to their first Stanley Cup Championship since the Millionaires won it in 1915!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOOOOOOOO CANUCKS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey troll-leader...your hopes lie in a scrawny little smurf who's gonna be a shit smear on the glass right from the puck drop. Your top line is gonna get totally punished and shut down leaving you with what...mason Raymond and lance bouwma to fill in the scoring? Hahahahaha
The reason you had success against VCR early in the year is Cuz they felt so fuckin sorry for your pathetic ass failure of a team that we mailed it in each and every single game. Oh sorry...you won a cup once, before the internet and mullets had become cool.

Like playing street hockey against kids in the cul-de-sac...

Come back trash talking next year or the year after when your hopes and dreams have at least had their balls drop


First 2 games will be close but we own them in their barn and they crumble like shitty cheesecake.

Those are slowly being replaced with with hunter camo hats. In fact, it isn't just hats, it's coats, shirts, pants and even a selection of clothing for the ladies. Not sure if it is saying "I just got back from a hunting trip" or "I think this looks really good for any occasion"

If I was a Flames fan, I wouldn't want to be seen either. ;)

Man, so much gold over there right now.
Other teams may have more depth on their defence, but they also don't have 3 players like Brodie, Russell and Wideman.
What? :lol:
And right now I wouldn't trade our defense for the Canucks defense.
Really, 'cause 30 NHL GMs would Shortbus.

Also, the Canucks are a trap team, Gio will be back this series, Bieksa and Burrows are notorious cheap-shot artists, 2004 Flames were super-talented, it just goes on and on.

I don't think there's any Canadian hockey market that knows so little about the other 29 teams. Pretty funny.
