Sound might be hard to find on a Friday.
Pig & Duke
St. James Corner
Tipperary's
Peanuts Pub is re-done in the Carriage House.
Most pubs are inconsistent - really depends who the bartender is that night.

I live on 17th and usually go to Mugs Pub or Watchmans for games - both always have sound

Just throw a plug in for my girl's restaurant. The Swine and Sow has happy Hour all day on Flames game days. If you buy Happy Hour you get entered into a draw for free tickets and/or gift cards for dinner at the restaurant. Food is awesome.
They have a bar with a ton of big screens.

It is really random - depending on the night, some pubs won't even know there is a game on. If there is UFC on, forget about it.
Tipperarys is maybe the most reliable, but not truly Kensington.
FATS was primarily a sports bar, but is now a gastropub. They tended to favor NFL over hockey.
Regal Beagle probably a good bet.
OJs and Yardhouse unreliable.
Molly's could be good, but had DJs on the weekend.
Sports are secondary at K Pub.
Oak Tree is live music.
Bottle House usually deserted.

I hear good things about Sliver's Garage. Just don't keep sharp things in your pocket.

Yah they usually have the game on and sound. Though I am unsure how many other fans are there though. Been a while since I have been.
Hudsons on 12th is another good choice (ill be there tonight), always have sound, and wing and beer deals.

The Pint on 17th Ave is probably the best spot I've gone to. Even on UFC nights they put the sound on for Flames games on the lower level.
I've said it in another thread but this city is a disaster for trying to do something as easy as go out to catch the Flames game somewhere with sound. Should be easier now that its almost playoffs and everyone is on the bandwagon, but mid-season, its pretty tough to find.
Best solution is to invest in a nice TV, buy some beer and watch at home.

Every Boston Pizza I've been to has the sound on for the Flames games.
Not helpful if you aren't near one.

Flames Central advertising doors at 5. Food and Drink specials for the game tonight. I might do that. Seems rare no concert is going on with a flames game i'd like to watch there!
Everyone should go... let's make it a good atmosphere

If/when there is a we-can-clinch game we should have a CP Summit like we did in 04 at Players.
