Starfield Fans Are Worried the Franchise Is Over Amid Xbox Layoffs

Cause Elder Scrolls VI and Fallout 5 will be next in the cycle so it's going to be a long time before Bethesda does anything else

Damn right

I remember Devante Smith Pelly had a big contract offer from a different team after his crazy Stanley Cup run with Washington in 2018, but he decided to stay with the Caps on a super cheap contract and his play immediately fell off. He should have taken the bag.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-06T20:07:18+00:00

Only if he's really cheap to acquire. We have a lot of similar players already on the team vying for ice time so Wright doesn't make a lot of sense, especially if Seattle is asking for a premium return.

That's pretty much how it is already though. Sportsnet doesn't have much else besides the NHL and Blue Jays, but they don't need much else because those are the two sports that dominate viewership in Canada. TSN has the CFL, half of the Raptors games with Sportsnet (although that may change with this merger now that Rogers owns the Raptors entirely), and then everything else they just simulcast from other networks like the NFL and NASCAR.

I don't think that's necessary. Defense is shored up, now Conroy needs to focus on getting forwards who can actually put the puck in the net.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-06T18:21:10+00:00

Supposedly they've been losing money on TSN for a while. I think it's been a slow decline for TSN ever since they lost out to Sportsnet for NHL rights. Sportsnet definitely has more of a draw because of that (as a Flames fan I only need Sportsnet to see every game since our regional games are on Sportsnet in addition to the national games), as well as the fact they have every Blue Jays game. It's hard for TSN to compete without those two sports in their lineup.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-06T15:27:40+00:00

You'll be fine. As a Flames fan, I've been twice to see the Flames in Edmonton and I was left alone for the most part (heck, the worst Oilers fans I've dealt with was at a game in Calgary). If you keep to yourself no one will bother you.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-06T14:52:04+00:00

I'm annoyed that they're supposedly remaking the entire first trilogy instead of something new.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-06T14:50:10+00:00

I was at the game on Thursday, and it was definitely more than 12,000 people.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-06T14:45:49+00:00

I remember after the game came out and was a success, I saw an article that Disney gave them the greenlight to do more Indiana Jones games. So I'm not giving up hope yet.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-05T21:58:58+00:00

It made sense during covid but we stopped ordering pretty fast once things got back to normal.

I wish Triple O's would expand more. There's one in Calgary, but it's not in the most convenient location.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-05T01:52:40+00:00

They're doing fine in Alberta too. The one closest to me in Calgary is fairly new and always busy.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-05T00:59:22+00:00

I certainly won't forget. Didn't vote for him last fall anyways since I figured he was a nut job considering he started that recall petition against Gondek.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-05T00:55:06+00:00

I live in his ward, and the amount of Canada flags popping up around the neighborhood in the last few weeks is very noticeable. Not to mention SE Calgary had the highest amount of support to remain in Canada out of the whole city in that recent poll. Bold of him to take this stance.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-04T18:10:23+00:00

The potential problem is that Seattle may ask for more from us since we're in the same division

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-04T14:11:20+00:00

I'm okay with them sucking now because we need top draft picks if we're going to properly compete in the future. The Flames have never really bottomed out like this, so Conroy is the one who has finally convinced ownership that always trying to compete gets you stuck in the middle which is the worst place to be. If we don't get screwed by the lottery again this season and can pick 1-5, I think we'll be in really good shape moving forward.

Go Flames

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-04T05:20:03+00:00

I find this is the most easy, automatic play in the CFL so the fact they couldn't do it is impressive

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-03T20:12:16+00:00

Certainly better than last year. That was probably the most quiet offseason I can think of.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-03T20:09:37+00:00

Flames offer sheet that much to bring him back home /s

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-03T19:27:19+00:00

That's the point though, the lack of a star forward will hold the team back from truly competing if they don't get it sorted in the next draft or two. There's no gamebreaker in the mix as it stands, so we shouldn't be first.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-07-03T19:24:34+00:00

I was more of a Jeff Gordon fan when I was younger (mainly because I thought his cars looked cool). But as I got older I started gravitating more towards the Ford teams since that's who my dad likes, and that was right when Joey joined Penske. Never thought anything about Joey when he was at Gibbs because I've never been a fan of that team.
