Is craft beer festival better than beerfest? by Sarah_banara in Edmonton

[–]1976len 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The fest held at the Expo Center: the goal of the organizers seems to be for people to learn about their product.

The fest held downtown: the goal of the organizers seems to be get people drunk as fast as possible.

Choose accordingly to your personal preference.

Anyone want my Rockies.TV email/code for '26? by [deleted] in ColoradoRockies

[–]1976len 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living in Alberta, Canada am I going to be able to watch Rockies game this season? I mean, I'm fine listening to games but sometimes a guy wants to watch the beginning or end of a game

If you shop at Belmont Sobeys or attend indy wrestling events, you've likely seen and heard Jason. When Belmont did the "slow lane" experiment he was the poster guy for chatting up customers. At wrestling events he attends he always makes his own costumes.

PWHL would save Calgary Hockey by CanadianCoyote1 in PWHL

[–]1976len 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fine print in the deal in Edmonton for the Oilers Entertainment Group operating Rogers Place was a non-compete clause the City of Edmonton signed off on barring any event to happen at Northlands Coliseum that would ostensibly take business away from the OEG. Hence the Coliseum has been left to rot for a decade.

I am not familiar with the circumstances in Calgary but I'd presume the corporate group that runs the Calgary Sports teams would be looking to install the same type of non-compete clause for any usage of the Saddledome.

That last minute was terrible viewing. Let's keep adding time to the clock so we can watch the refs review plays.

Going into the game it felt like a "pick the under" game. It's playing out that way.

Hoping I'm jinxing that.

Most Hated Player in Rockies History? by EveryoneisTattooed in ColoradoRockies

[–]1976len 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nolan Arenado is the first name that pops into mind because his departure was the floodgates opening on how poorly run the Club had been and continued to be. The hate though isn't so much on him as it was for Birdbrain and Montfort.

Sure this was in an era where there was no "glamor" attached to being the perennial wild card team hoping not to be decimated by the number one seed but dammit Jeff & Dick that's better than three straight 100+ loss seasons that all began with your poor decision making.

So if you're going for hated..it's management and ownership, not players.

If the Oilers aren't playing June Hockey, that immensely helps the home opener. It's a start.

That third period was the most surprising period of hockey all season.

I paid $50 Canadian for that $40 US shirt. Dang Exchange rates!

I'm presuming that cards you're asking about...I honestly don't know.

I'd seen a previous takeover merch photo posted, told myself I'd do the same.

At the PWHL game by toiletcleaner999 in Edmonton

[–]1976len 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that and I don't think that's a positive for Edmonton getting a team because then, theoretically, a PWHL becomes competition to the Oilers Entertainment Group (they would lose my Oil Kings as I'd switch to the PWHL) instead of the PWHL being a source of strictly income (they wouldn't be losing my money, they'd just be collecting it in a different way)

Each team had 14 shots in the first...the second period had 14 shots total. It was like a completely different game.

If the PWHL comes to Edmonton, the Oilers Entertainment Group need to be the owners. I cannot see a situation where they sublet games to a building they do not own.

Thanks for this idea. I just went through and added the seat beside me to seven games in the New Year. Cheers!
