So thats why the arena deal hasn't been done yet.

The CSEC had to pay out the ass for two directors for our promo video.

Michael Bay: Explosions
J.J Abrams: Lens Flares

In the past their opening videos would actually give me chills. This one just makes me cringe. Seems amateurish from the song, to the lens flare, to the fireballs around players making a hit.

Flames video crew, what you’ve just presented is one of the most insanely amateur things I have ever seen/heard. At no point in your boring, lens flare-ridden video were you even close to anything that could be considered motivating or entertaining. Everyone in this dome is now sleepier for having watched it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Is this the actual home opener pre-game video, or just the video promoting the game/season? The title and the actual end of the video seems like its an ad, not the actual opener video.

Regardless, relax folks.

These idiots need to just keep working on these things until they guarantee that the finished product will make every single human being happy!

What's with all this "Country" talk? I hate country too, but this isn't country. It's classified as "southern rock".

The song itself falls flat. Still better than Nickelback though.

That video is terrible. Why is the focus on the lead singer of the dumpy pop country band?

Ok, a simple 'it's not good' would have done just fine...

"I see red" is a comment from CSEC about how they're a revenue sharing team now.

Quote:
The phrase "red" is used widely to refer to companies that have not been profitable within their last accounting period. This term is derived from the color of ink used to by accountants to enter a negative figure on a company's financial statements.

The first paragraph are my honest thoughts.

The second is an edited quote from Billy Madison, maybe I should have used green font.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that is freakin terrible. But at the same time, it's only a video. Doesn't have any bearing on the actual product on ice.

i feel like instead of making a terrible music video for a terrible song by some southern rock/country group no body has heard of, they could have just used Dustin Lynch's "seeing red" and have a montage of the team for cheaper and less embarrassment.

The savings could have been put towards the new arena

I don't mind the song, at least there's no fake country twang voice.

Has anyone played the video in backwards yet. Is there any subliminal messages about CalgaryNEXT in it?
