Sweet. Now the Bronco man is stirring things up with Tampa's mayor. Something about sending beer and calgary chocolates if we lose. Not sure what we get when we win.
ha ha ha
looks like he took it well though!!!
ahahaha thats sweet......at least he's not a sure loser and smiling in all the pics.
When does Vancouver get to honor their end of the bargain?
(i think Vancouver's mayor has to come here and help pave a road in town that is under construction)
what does Detroit's mayor have to do?
do tell!
"Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier and Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio have made an appetizing Stanley Cup wager. If the Calgary Flames win, Iorio will send a crate of Florida oranges, a platter of guava pastries and a box of Ybor City cigars to Bronconnier's office. If the Tampa Bay Lightning are successful, Bronconnier will pony up Spolumbo sausages, Bernard Callebaut chocolates and Big Rock beer."
I got that off a canadian news site.
"Calgary, April 6, 2004 - The bet is on! Mayor Dave
Bronconnier and Mayor Larry Campbell this morning confirmed
the details of a friendly wager on the eve of the Flames and
Canucks showdown in the first round of the Stanley Cup
Playoffs.
The road to the Stanley Cup will be paved in Calgary or
Vancouver…literally. Under the terms of the wager, the Mayor
of the losing city will travel to the other city (prior to
the second round of the playoffs if possible) to pay respect
to the winning team. The visiting Mayor will wear the
winning team’s jersey, and operate a team-decorated
steamroller on a city street paving crew.
Commenting on the bet, Mayor Dave Bronconnier noted, "We have
a lot of infrastructure projects in Calgary this year. So
much, that we need to import some free labor from Vancouver.
I'm looking forward to Mayor Campbell helping us out with an
important road project over by the Saddledome."
I think Bronconnier got snubbed by Detroit's mayor.. I heard on the radio when we were playing Detroit.. something like he never got his phone calls returned from the Detroit office or something like that.
wonder if he will smoke those cigars indoors...

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
—Cicero, Roman statesman and lawyer
