Yeah, Scholars/The Library used to be fairly Flames friendly. I haven't been there for a game yet this year, so I'm not sure if that's still the case. The TVs there aren't that great. It's probably your best shot, though.

And, yes, Hudsons is a chain of pubs up here in the 'chuck. Even though they bought Scholars, they've only barely changed the inside. A lot of people go to the Hudsons on Whyte to watch games, but I would definitely avoid it as a Flames fan. It's a bit like Melrose was to the Red Mile.

I went to Schanks (by West Ed) a few times last year, but only during the playoff run. There were always a good 20-30 Flames fans there, grouped together. I doubt as many go during the regular season, though.

Unfortunately, I think you're pretty much SOL in Edmonton. There's an Oiler bar in Calgary - why not a Flames bar in Edmonton? Those of us going to school are dying up here.
