Flames 2019/20 thread (With a new arena!!)

Jamie · #1 07-30-2019, 05:09 PM

A new season is upon us and with the City of Calgary Voting today 11-4 in favour of a new arena we shall kick this year off! Perhaps the only intelligent thing this council has ever done.

Great way to start the year and can not wait to see the new place.

As well, I am buying a 1/2 season set of tickets this year and will be looking to sell a chunk. Awesome row one seats in the 3rd level. Watch for them to come up. Anyone else have seats for this year?

This is going to be a very interesting season. We just signed Big Save Dave and somehow got stuck with Lucic. MT is needed to be signed and someone is about to get thrown over board as I think the Flames only have $4,000,000 in cap space right now. So obviously they are trying to drop some dead weight as we speak.

I am more than comfortable with our coaching staff and the the front office is a bit suspect right now but what the heck do I know.

Nahhh. It was the season tickets and the new arena today!! Minor hockey starts in 3 weeks. I sure will miss that this year.

This sucks, and again looking like we will run with Brodie this season. I wanted to see more of Juuso, but this could be a career ender or changer at least.
He seems to be very injury prone. So wouldn't be surprised if he just disappears off the cap.

Oil are just up there trying to crack 80 points.

2 man crew????? Are you guys finally recognizing Draisaitl as a valuable player?

Trochu · #14 09-05-2019, 09:48 AM

I see another lockout coming soon.....

"The Coyotes signed Keller on Wednesday to an eight-year contract extension with an average annual salary of $7.15 million."

I like Keller, but $7.15M/season?!? The guy played 82 games last year and put up 47 pts and was -21. I know it isn't always about points, but it's a big factor for a guy getting $7.15M playing on the first line.

Thoughts of Tkachuck signing in the sevens is long gone and even in the eights is fading....

Get out, I thought the story of the Oiler players all have to carry pylons around with them, to remind them of who they really are was just a joke.
Nice of Looch to sign his and give it to a kid, since he won't be needing it anymore.

Oh no.... that’s the pylon that undressed ole Looch. I recognize it. Zoom in on his face. It tells all.

Talking moose · #19 09-06-2019, 05:35 PM

Looks like his arms are getting smaller too.

He is a weirdly proportioned dude.

But still Go Flames Go.

Yep Sportsnet and there is 2 games tonight, Flames V Canucks.. One starts at 7 and the other 8 as one played in each city. I believe Sportsnet is showing all Flames games this season.

Rig-Rat · #25 09-16-2019, 08:37 PM

Nice start Flames. Up 2-0 in both games.

I wouldn't think that bears well for Vancouver, it's not exactly our A squad in Vancouver.

Pretty much as expected. To be honest. Pre-season though so who knows, Neal is over achieving, trust me.
