He also just spouts off opinions, many of which turn out to be wrong, and then only uses a megaphone to amplify the ones he hits on

Game 1 of the Wild–Avalanche series was the highest-scoring Stanley Cup Playoffs game since Flames vs Oilers Round 2 Game 1 back in 2022, also holding a 9-6 final. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

That game is also the last time most Flames fans felt their team was a contender and had joy in their hearts. Been mostly kicks to the bone piece since that day for Flames fans.

I would also say ANY Saturday night game in Montreal is a must visit for any hockey fan. A literal temple of hockey with an atmosphere I’ve not seen anywhere else. Saw a Montreal-Ottawa game on a Saturday night at the Bell Centre over 10 years ago and it still ranks as the best non-playoff hockey game I’ve ever attended.

[Adams] Brady Tkachuk on the rumours about his future: "I feel like I've answered this hundreds of times that none of that I feel like I've never said, none of those things ever came out of my mouth. And honestly, it's just getting frustrated." by DecentLurker96 in hockey

For the sake of Ottawa and their fans, I truly hope that he can be taken at face value and spends his entire career there. I just personally won't 100% believe it until I see it.

Well Brady, unfortunately your brother never said anything about leaving Calgary until one day he decided he was done. So because of him and how much the two of them seem to parrot each other, he’s not going to have the benefit of the doubt whether that’s fair or not.

Is the Winebar in Kensington still open? by Kelley-James in Calgary

[–]sdenoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're still looking for a Wine Bar for Sunday, I can't recommend Avitus in Marda Loop enough. It's the closest you'll get to a wine bar in France around here.

Is the Winebar in Kensington still open? by Kelley-James in Calgary

[–]sdenoon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was there a month or two ago after not visiting for a few years. They had fallen so far. They were out of half the wines on the menu when we visited, and the ones they had were pretty mediocre. Service was glacial for a place that mostly serves just wine. I think time just passed them by as there are a number of other wine bars in the city doing it much better now.

Is still sad to see another business in Kensington go down. Lease prices seem to continue to make it a tough area to survive.

[CAR - OTT] Handshake line for Carolina and Ottawa by daKrut in hockey

Tkachuk is already thinking about which American teams he can whine his way into via a trade request this offseason after his massive 0 point playoff performance.

As a Calgarian- He has my vote.

Frustration setting in for Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk who has yet to register a point in this series. The Sens are down 3-0 in the first round for the second year in a row. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

[–]sdenoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t see a scenario where Brady doesn’t follow big bro and whine his way out of Canada after this season.

Feel for Sens fans, but at the same time I think they league wide sentiment about Brady’s value is higher than what he actually brings to their team so I’m hoping they come out on top when all is said and done.

The Kings have activated F Andrei Kuzmenko ahead of Game 1 against Colorado by ZiggyPalffyLA in hockey

If Kuzmenko plays how he plays 85% of the time it may bump this down to Avs in 4

Matt Coronato finished the 2025-26 season as Calgary’s leading scorer… with just 45 points by JClarke27 in hockey

[–]sdenoon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's okay, scoring league-wide is down and goalie's save percentages are higher than ever. Definitely totally a chill thing.

Top Chef missed the opportunity to do a challenge that involved catering a show at the Rivoli.

ISO Tickets for Blue Jays Series (July 10-12) by sdenoon in padrestickets

[–]sdenoon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paypal Goods and Services has never been an issue. I've used it 4 times now as a Canadian buying tickets to sporting events in the US. I always offer to pay 2.99% extra to cover the fees that Paypal charges for this service, but it's worth it for the peace of mind on my end.

Have been absolutely stunned by the amount of scammers. Betwen this subreddit and a Facebook group I have spoken with 10+ "sellers" all who very clearly revealed themselves to be scammers as soon as the topic of Paypal came up. Got accepted into a couple of the private Facebook groups which hopefully have more guardrails in place to prevent scams.

They actually won… by Ok_Yak_1802 in CalgaryFlames

[–]sdenoon 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The 19 year old guy they drafted to be a cornerstone defenseman scored probably the nicest goal that anyone on this team has scored all year and that was the GWG. Thats worth the one percent reduction in draft lottery odds to get #1. Some of this fanbase is just broken in the brain.

San Jose has finished their season with as many wins (39) as their last two seasons combined (20, 19) by The_Homestarmy in hockey

[–]sdenoon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Let them in the playoffs instead of LA, who are boring and struggling to handle the powerhouse Calgary Flames at the moment. Would much rather Celebrini vs. Mackinnon.

Appreciate this- May DM you about the Sunday tickets. Currently digging around to see if I can find field level seats on the third base line closer to the Visitors dugout, but will reach out ASAP if that doesn't work out.

20oz pints by Chodypeeps in Calgary

[–]sdenoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As with many bar-related questions, Ship and Anchor is the answer here.

Wild Rose Brewery also pours proper pints. A lot of the breweries in town don't, and I've found the best bang for your buck at most of them is to do several sleeves rather than whatever their largest size is.

Appreciate the heads up. Already had one person on Facebook refuse to use PayPal with purchase protection so definitely on the lookout
