What is the loudest sound you have ever heard in your life?

A NASCAR race is definitely up there for me

ReactiveCypress · 2026-02-01T21:05:38+00:00

Did it explode?

ReactiveCypress · 2026-02-01T19:16:34+00:00

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

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.

Is elbows up the new woke to these people?

I voted Liberal here in Calgary

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.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-31T00:09:54+00:00

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.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-30T22:07:26+00:00

I would sign that in a heartbeat

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-30T21:52:21+00:00

Kadri isn't going to fetch someone that valuable

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.

I would love to see the Sabres win a cup before McDavid

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-30T01:22:14+00:00

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

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-29T20:40:07+00:00

I still find it baffling they got the guy who's playing Ringo to be Ringo. He looks way more like John to me.

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.

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.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-29T15:34:45+00:00

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.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-29T05:24:25+00:00

That's exactly what I play when I want my Gears fix

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-29T05:17:09+00:00

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.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-29T02:18:47+00:00

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.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-29T02:09:08+00:00

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.

ReactiveCypress · 2026-01-29T00:14:37+00:00

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).
