Who is selling that $98 PL seat LOL

First row press level, dead center, are actually really good seats.

This is the way. $11 seats and $24 worth of beer, a malt and you can leave after 2 if the game sucks. #cantlose

If?

If you like hockey, those may be the best seats in the house.

Place I used to work at had second row, one seat from dead center on the second level. Those were excellent seats.

During Covid when they did the 50% capacity thing, they let us sit anywhere. Every tv timeout I’d move around and try new seats. My favorite is 212 row 5. Close enough to the action to hear all the players, short row so not much standing to let people through, and super easy access right from the doors to get in and out super fast.

I’ve sat 300 row 1, restaurant row 1, just a tad too high for my tastes. Restaurant seats are nice tho, just because your table and food is ready during intermission and drinks delivered to you non stop. It’s an amazing way to get fucked up haha.

I appreciate your perspective on this.

Why Calgary Won

Vancouver was distracted from the Flames Jersey
Vancouver came off back to back nights = tired
Vancouver gets taunted by the preseason game

So if my math is correct, Vancouver is among the best team in the NHL right now, so can we expect the Flames to start a winning streak?

Until they play anyone in the bottom half of the standings, then they'll sink to that level, and somehow lose.

The Blue Jackets are doing great these days. I wonder if Johnny wants to come back to Calgary, we can give them #10

Johnny Gaudreau 17GP 1G 5A = 6 pts
Jonathan Huberdeau 16GP 3G 6A = 9pts

both 30 years old and has massive contracts. Get JG back while Huberdeau's value is slightly higher right now

[ExtraSlow]

Why in gods name would you want to do that? I don't love Huge-bird-poo, but Johnny isn't any kind of answer here.

[schurchill39]

I still think at some point in his tenure here Huberdeau will turn it back on. Thers obviously some huge mental block going on, you'd think he was a goalie. I'm more wishing we could ship Kadri to the moon. Its to bad he's playing reasonably good with Zary and Popisil, now if he only realized he could pass the puck.

[ExtraSlow]

Let's get 8-10 wins here asap, ship all the expiring guys out before the trade deadline, pile up picks and prospects, let the kids play, be good in time to justify higher beer prices at the new rink.

I'd get behind that much more easily then grasping at the middle of the pack, which looks like our ceiling even if the current guys play much better.

last night was fun lol
dang canucks top 3 pt getters
soooo, salary floor 61mill
tanev, zadorv, lindholm, hanifin under 20mill combined what a deal haha
dump them all and get prospects in return + replace with wrangler kids
tell murray no playoffs but we save you 20mill payroll and tank
cup or bust?
is that how it works? haha

[ExtraSlow]

No no no, you eat salary and package the payers at a discount to get picks. Eat dead money. Mandalorian.gif

Markstrom was deemed too sick to play after the roster transaction deadline, meaning the Flames were able to sign goalie Dustin Nickel to an amateur tryout agreement to serve as the backup against the Golden Knights.

Nickel, a 32-year-old native of Calgary, played with Mount Royal College and the Calgary Canucks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League over a decade ago.

so cool
