I'm interested in what Tre's plan is for this offseason. Right now it sounds like the Flames are in on everybody under the sun. I've heard OEL, Kuemper, Markstrom, Holtby, Palmeiri, Lehner, Josh Anderson, Korpisalo, Dumba, Laine, and more. It would be peak Calgary Flames to have all those rumors...

What an absolutely dominant series for the Flames. You could tell every single player really bought in, and every line played well. People will point to the Scheifele and Laine injuries, sure, but that's part of playoffs. Jets had lots of other guys who could step up, and they didn't/couldn't...

I absolutely love all of the fun angles on this one. There's WAY too many buildings in Calgary that are just flat, uneventful boxes. This one isn't overdone either, which is nice. I think it will fit in really well with our skyline.

What's up with the side of that tall building on the right of that picture? ^ That's hideous ... Also not 100% sure what it has to do with The Royal ...

Yeesh. I'm a bit of a sucker for some good old fashioned chaos, but that draft lottery last night was something else. Despite Ottawa and Detroit having excellent shots at getting the first overall pick - and DESPERATELY needing it - an unknown team will get Lafreniere, as determined by how this...

I could be wrong but I don't think the Rosetti Bowl design has ever been tried before. It definitely looked cool but there's certain aspects of it that definitely could be problematic. Upper-level seats might be watching the whole game from between their legs because they're at such a steep...

Rumored for a while but now seems to be confirmed. Dialog and HOK will design our new arena. HOK has designed Little Caesar's Arena, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Rogers Place, Stockton Arena, and the Sprint Center. Dialog worked on the New Central Library. I'm pretty pleased with this, as Little...

No clue what a road has to do with a godawful podium design. Fact is, DT Calgary is still primarily a workplace. Yes, we're getting more residences lately but until the roads arent so heavily relied upon by suburban commuters they will stay as they are. The road being there isn't what made them...

I have never understood the asterisk argument in the slightest. The only scenario where that might be the case is if Chicago or Montreal won the cup. Basically all 22 other teams were either in a playoff spot, or realistically close enough to jump into one at the time of the shutdown. Only CHI...

Looks like we're getting started back up soon again!! Pending a final decision today the league will start preparing for a "24 team playoffs." That is deceiving, however. Really, it's a 16 team playoffs as normal, with a play-in beforehand. The top 8 teams in the league get byes and will play a...

Does it look anything like the concept renders they released initially? Can't wait to see what it looks like.

HOK worked on Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Little Caesars Arena (both absolutely gorgeous and innovative imo). Looks like we're in good hands.

Damn it how do I always fall for this ? You're taking advantage of my love of tall buildings man

I love what we did with the deadline. You saw the product of it tonight vs Boston. It allows us to slot our defensemen where they belong. We no longer need guys like Stone in the lineup most nights (though I will admit he looked decent tonight ... a rarity however.) I thought both of our new...

Not quite sure where to post about this, but here it goes. I see this arena as a major opportunity to find new and innovative ways to drive fan engagement and provide an exciting atmosphere. That idea was really stressed in the Rossetti Bowl promotional video, and I think it's imperative that we...

At long last, a fantastic effort by the Flames last night vs Vancouver. It's really up to the guys at this point. When they're at their best, as they were last night, they look like contenders. But all too often we've seen them listlessly pack it up early this season. This game will either be...

Give that survey a go guys, you could win Flames tickets and jerseys (or don't, I want to win them ;)) Does that timeline indicate that we should be getting finalized renders by the end of the year? I hope this survey isn't all they're doing for "public engagement." There's lots of specific...

The closed-door arena deal negotiations had no effect on Calgary's housing & office markets weakening lol. I don't see it being 1/5th of the cost either, but it's definitely closer to 1/2, which is much better than 4/5th's. Like you said, Edmonton's got a good arena district going - are you...

Considering they're gonna be looking for public feedback on the design this January (<2 months away) and will have a completed proposal by April, we will most definitely be seeing something much sooner than that. Something like the Sprint Center would be perfect. Love the exposed wood idea. Good...

Sorry I should've specified, that would make sense. But this structure is in the parking lot along Crowchild, east of McMahon. It basically looks like a huge metal carport, like 3 storeys high. It's probably for the Grey Cup but it just looked really bizarre when I was driving by.
