How did Calgary become the Palm Springs of Canada? The place where old hockey players go to retire.

I have a feeling there are more gays in Palm Springs per capita than Calgary. So I don't think it's the Palm Springs of Canada.

Came here for a thread about the unseasonably warm weather these days, stayed for the impending meltdown.

I thought people retired to Florida. We’re supposed to go to the middle of the desert in California?

Calgary will be Palm Springs in about 15 years with global warming.

Maybe some of you are too young but this was always the price of a Darryl Sutter coached team. Complain long and hard but it's not going to change until he's gone.

Its very much a careful what you wish for, or gift of the magi scenario maybe? I might have my fables mixed up.

Old core is immature and undisciplined. Need better coaching. We need Darryl!

Get Darryl...

Old core is blown up when 2 top players move on. New core needs someone other than Darryl.

Guess that had nothing to do with Palm Springs. So, on topic, these Flames give off more of a dry heat.

Pfffffft. As if. That's Okotoks, where there are a number of things to do.

Palm Springs has the 144th largest television audience in the US and the average daily high during January is 21.4c.
