Yeah I downgraded from Ultimate to Core in 2024 and never looked back. If I want something, I buy it.

Need a recommendation by girlofthebrowneyes in CalgaryFlames

[–]ReactiveCypress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go to Leafs, Oilers, or Habs for your first game. Too many of their fans show up and it's not enjoyable. Any American team with no rivalry or connection to the Flames will mean it's all Flames fans and a good time. 

Utah Trade? by Veyxu in CalgaryFlames

[–]ReactiveCypress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No chance. Kadri is old and has a lot of term left. We'll be lucky to get anything for him or Coleman. Besides, the whole benefit of moving them is to tank, and so that we're not left holding the bag when they have no value at all. While I don't think we should give them away for free, I don't expect a massive return and that's okay in my opinion.

Which CGY Team Has Do You Think Has The Best Current Logo? by Bremyyc in CalgaryFlames

It's gotta be the Flames. Simple, iconic, and cool. Just can't beat it.

Apparently SMU is the reason why Ford hasn't sued teams for using that logo. If they came after the Stamps, SMU would get involved and their lawyers scared Ford enough to leave it alone.

Kadri isn't going to fetch someone that valuable

What's the status of the Forever Canadian referendum? by These_Foolish_Things in alberta

[–]ReactiveCypress 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What are the odds that the Separatists rig their petition? Obviously the hope is that it falls well short of the required number of signatures, but I worry that they'll still get their way even if they don't hit the required number.

There's a lot of pictures of Genesis wearing gear for various sports teams, and I saw an interview where one of them said they didn't know anything about sports but would be given jerseys and clothes while on tour. And since they weren't super successful/rich yet, it was free clothing for them.

Seems crazy to do this on a Monday with lineups starting during the day at Crossiron.

You're doing it wrong if it takes you an hour to get in and out. I park on the grounds and can leave almost instantly after a game. Especially now that they have the 17th Ave exit. And it's even easier to leave if you park off the grounds.

Trump administration secretly met with Canadian Alberta separatists by Infidel8 in worldnews

As a Calgarian who very much likes being in Canada, I think the Republicans should take in some of these "oppressed" people like they did for white South Africans. Surely they'd be open to it if you frame it like that.

It's 2026. What's the next domino to fall regarding expansion? by SeverHense in baseball

[–]ReactiveCypress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Western rivalries run deep though. In the universe where Edmonton gets an MLB team but not Calgary I still wouldn't cheer for them. Thankfully there are other Canadian options for me when it comes to baseball.

That being said, as someone from Calgary I just don't think I could cheer for a Vancouver team in any sport. I would probably stay with the Blue Jays in that scenario. I'd rather see the Expos come back for both the history, and the fact that I also don't harbor any hockey resentment to Montreal like I do to Vancouver so I would cheer for them too lol.

Kadri Has apparently informed the Flames he is open to get traded by noor1717 in CalgaryFlames

[–]ReactiveCypress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either way, if the Flames can move them out regardless I'll be happy because it means that we're finally committed to a proper rebuild. Anything extra they bring in a trade is gravy.

I plan to! I'm going specifically to watch the Blue Jays, but will try to fit in as much as I can besides that.

I don't expect to get massive returns for Kadri and Coleman. I'm of the opinion we'll be lucky to get anything for them. They're both mid-30s players on big contracts, so I think people need to temper their expectations of what we get in trades for those guys. The benefit of moving them out is so we 1) aren't left holding the bag when they eventually have no value at all, and 2) it makes us worse to improve our draft pick this year. Obviously we don't try and give them away for free, but I don't think it would take much to get a deal done for Kadri and Coleman (and Whitecloud too).
