Ironically, I'm glad I am going. Sometimes a gongshow is more entertaining than a normal game.

Also, look at many of our recent efforts. It would be hard for us to look worse than we have lately, even without Monahan and Gaudreau. And Bouma's been either injured or invisible all season.

Bennett's going to win the Safeway million dollar challenge and divert all the attention away from the benchings

No problem. Just need one person with season tickets to say they like this call. Please post. All tube fans can shut it.

It's a Leafs game, sell your tickets, it won't be difficult.

pfft conspiracy to keep it quiet as long as they can so they can sell more tickets - says the voices that briefly penetrated my brain when my tin foil hat fell off

Not sure why some are making it like it's such a big deal. If any one of those two guys are injured, would you sell your tickets for the game? I guess that's the distinction from being a Flames fan and being a players fan.

Believe it or not my brother didn't sell his tickets until just an hour ago and in years past he would have sold them at least a week in advance at 10x their price. I'm not sure if it's because of this economy or Leafs fans aren't overly excited about seeing an AHL squad in Leafs colours.

The Monahan and Gaudreau benching will cost the Flames a half mil per year each come contract renewal time this summer...

Stub Hub has lower bowl tickets for as low as $70.

Those days are over for the next little bit with the teams play & economy

This is true. Flames just don't get it yet.

Don't agree.

I think this shows that the team is serious about expectations they set for their players.

You don't scratch those two guys willy nilly, but I doubt the Flames will ever reveal more, but I doubt management and Hartley do this without some serious thought.
I know for a fact that CSW has season tickets - happy now?

Seems a bit harsh of a punishment in my opinion.
If it had been a 10:30 bus, they would've missed the bus if they showed up at 10:15.

They were very late.

Always earned, never given. Remember?
