I'm still baffled they think they need a 5000 seat arena. What will that support afterwards? Roughnecks and Hitmen both have average attendance of over 10,000. Only other team we have that would fit a 5000 seat venue well might be Cavalry FC, but I doubt that will happen, they're already set to...

We're 19.5% through the season, (I'll round it to 20%) and Smith still looks frighteningly bad. His fiery competitiveness that he's known for, I have not seen. He seems defeated and deflated, like he's in his own head too much. Trying way too hard, thinking way too much, too focused on making...

Yeah, that was a total stinker. Everyone who went to that game deserves a refund. Hopefully they'll wake up now. Imo, I think they should've woken up when they allowed 80+ shots in 2 games vs NYR and MTL. Tkachuk spoke up, said exactly what I was thinking, and I thought they'd move forward from...

Personally, I don't mind that as much as stuff like this: https://www.google.ca/maps/@51.0465636,-114.0638846,3a,75y,221.3h,94.09t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sH02MJ9CM-nJN4MvzU8zn5w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 And the bigger problem is, thousands of people walk past this every day. Thousands of tourists too, all...

Fun game last night vs Boston. Got off to a really fast start, 3 goals in the first period. Frolik, coming off being a healthy scratch, had 2 goals, happy for him, seems like a nice guy. I'm still agitated seeing Neal on the 3rd line, but if the 3M line plays every game like they did this one...

Got back from vacation finally :) Smith's had a history of playing unbelievably badly right after a shutout. His game in Nashville was spectacular, and I too, was confident he'd get a well-deserved rest against STL. Instead he rewarded with yet another start. As history would tell you, that...

It also says this: "The towers are connected at the base of the building (podium) which has a height of approx 36 metres." A 120ft podium, wow!

That's more like it ... sort of. Flames win 7-4, with 2 empty netters near the end of the game from Czarnik and Frolik to secure the game. Tkachuk had a 4pt night, Gaudreau, Gio, and Lindholm 3pts each, Lindholm with 2 goals looks like an absolute stud on the first line. Was a close game for...

Do you have the link? Just curious ;)

THIS is what people were complaining about? Screw NIMBY, I'd love to have this in my backyard lmao.

Hamonic's out week-to-week with a facial fracture after that fight with Gudbranson, sticking up for Dube. He's a great guy and he's awesome for sticking up for Dube in his NHL debut, but we signed Prout, Hathaway, and Peluso to handle this sort of thing. Games like these, against Vancouver and...

https://flamesnation.ca/2018/10/05/city-committee-shows-off-arena-renderings/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter So some new renders were released for the arena. I neither love it nor hate it, I like the plentiful windows and all the Flames decorations. The red highlights help a lot too. In...

Kulak traded to Montreal for two likely AHL defensemen, Rinat Valiev and Matt Taormina. Neither have found much NHL success, Rinat is young and might still develop into something, Matt scores a lot of points at an AHL level and will be a good addition for Stockton. I don't see either of them...

Well, the preseason's over and the last few cuts are underway. Lazar, Peluso, and Kulak were all waived this morning for purpose of putting them in the minors. I don't see anyone taking Lazar or Peluso, but Kulak might just get looked at. He's nothing spectacular but he's a decent defenseman...

Respectfully, you never implied only in Calgary either. You said "overall rental/hospitality market," which could mean Calgary's market, Alberta's market, Canada's market, the global market, etc and it's anyone's guess which one you meant. I haven't noticed a ton of AirBNB activity in Calgary...

Biggest thing is Smith staying healthy. We don't have a Halak or a Grubauer to fall back on if something happens, we have Rittich, Gillies, and MAYBE Parsons. We upgraded the forward group and the coaching staff, we should have a better PP, better even strength, and as good if not better PK...

5sqft is about enough room for a person to stand in. If you imagine a 2ft by 2.5ft box on the floor, that's 5 sqft. It's definitely not a lot. 5sqm is more like 6ft by 8ft.

Well, the Flames finished their first of two China games yesterday, and although they came just short, falling 3-4 to Boston in the fourth round of the shootout, it was a really exciting game and all things considered, they played really well. My take-aways: - Both Ryan and Czarnik were...

Yup, for a city trying to convince a private company to pay for this thing, they aren't really doing themselves any favors haha. This came out today, some Councillors are getting behind the idea of a two-arena complex as part of this Olympics plan, with the medium-sized arena and new NHL arena...

For the Olympics, with what we're getting compared to what it costs, I don't know if its worth it. Here, near the bottom, they have their cute little pie chart for how the $3,000,000,000 public investment would be used. What about the remaining $2.6B+? What does that go towards? I see a lot of...
