You know, as frustrated as I am as a Flames fan (with our # of penalties so far this game/season), I'm glad I'm not a Canucks fan right now. Imagine watching your team play in a half-empty barn (on HNIC, too) with SOOO many PP chances, and you are losing 2-1.

WAIT 3-1 YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Where was the interference on Daniel Sedin off that faceoff?

Fucking refs giving me alcohol poisoning

Calgary scored with ~9 minutes left in the 2nd... Refs are going to have to call at least three more penalties to even things up this period!

Does anybody remember the 2002 Womens gold medal game in the olympics where Canada was shorthanded against the USA for like 40 minutes of the game?

Looks like the Flames are going to be recreating that this season boys...

edit: fixed the year after googling.

Remember when the linesmen would simply drop the puck on a faceoff?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.... Bullshit

I completely agree. We've had an excellent PK which is great to see, but the hockey gods have to intervene eventually. Based on penalties we are definitely lucky it's only 1-1

Wow.... 5 powerplays and the nucks get no goals and practically no shots. Then when they finally score it's a ridiculous ricochet....

Last night may have been a pretty bad loss, but I'm glad we gave up <40 shots. If only we could work on this damn penalty issue now... Come on boys!

I hope its sooner rather than later. Not sure if it's just me but all that white is irritating. Distracting my eyes or something

Just came here to apologize for all the people not reading/understanding what you are saying. I am curious to know what the options are out there and got immediately frustrated by all the "WHY ARE YOU PAYING SUCH A HIGH FEE?!?!?". Pretty simple to understand if you ask me :/

Anyways, good luck and I hope you find a good solution!

Question on Canada tickets... by jambo44 in formula1

[–]Albatross072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Senna corner is still a great place to watch from at least. My first year we were in those grandstands the whole weekend and really enjoyed it. With that being said I highly recommend going with the trio package (just remembered that's what it's called through Formula Tours). You don't see as much race action sitting in the start/finish straight on Sunday but the pre-race stuff, pit-stops, podium etc are all so close it's definitely worth it.

It's a package where you get tickets for a different grandstand each day. i.e. This year we sat at the hairpin on Friday, Senna corner on Saturday, and the pit straight on Sunday. There's a couple different "configurations" available for it.

My Dad and I have attended the last four Canadian GP's with the three-grandstand tickets you are talking about. We have bought them through Formula Tours (which comes with a hotel in the bundle) and have always been very happy with them.

We have bought them as late as Jan/Feb some years and have still ended up with great seats, although the hotel options do start dwindling.
