[oldschoolcalgary]

awful

[Jiggy_12]

These all have a certain cringe factor. But that was a 2 on the scale of 1 to Edmonton.

[soreshins]

Hahaha. Michael Buffer. Bit different at least.

[Johnny Makarov]

Jesus that was pathetic. It was chuck e cheese/enchanted castle/ bullwinkles like.
and now Michael Buffer? You lost me.

Go Caps Go!

So his ticket is guaranteed ~1.4 million - interest on a 2 week loan if he decides to hedge (Or sell off the bet as you stated above to a high roller)

Only an idiot would take the 1 million as some are suggesting.

This is a perfect example of people not understanding the proper math and getting ripped off.

Thank you for calling me an idiot.



I won't suggest you are an idiot but I don't think you're plan is as bulletproof as you think.


1. Do you think you can convince a bank to give you a loan for a Las Vegas bet? No matter how much you try to prove it's a "sure bet", I doubt they would give it to you.


2. If you did get the loan, what guarantee do you have that another Vegas casino would accept your $1.075M bet? They can refuse any bet, especially for unusual bets.



Whereas he has a guaranteed $1M sitting in his hand, but I guess he'd be an idiot to cash that in eh?

I love Buffer announcing this is awesome!

[GioforPM]

Total cheese. But such good cheese.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I find they are innovative and a fresh look to the old school stuff you see in every arena. It’s hype.

[Looch City]

Criss Angel?

Ew. Worst show. #### Vegas, hope they ####img get swept!

[Johnny Makarov]

I hope all the knights pull their groins after having to wait that long on the bench.

[oldschoolcalgary]

well, its appealing to a town with no history of hockey...

highly doubt fans in any original 6 city or Canadian city would want to watch that every night...like nashville, they had to create tradition and passion

which is fine, just wouldn't want that in calgary

They don't do it every night. And I think as they go on more seasons they will tone it down. I don't blame them for blowing it out this year.

To each their own but I find the dome in game stuff boring. I’d love to see this kind of stuff. The dome is a library but CGY is a conservative place. Vegas games look like a lot of fun to me.

I went to a game in the regular season with a shortened version of the opening and I'll say one thing, the kids in the crowd absolutely love it. If the Knights had been a bad team, it would have been a good way to at least pull the kids in.
