How many Flames games do you watch in a season?

[Young Guns]

I watch all of them. I also like to PVR them and then start watching the game about 1.5hrs after it began. This allows me to skip commercials and Eric Francis.

[BigFlameDog]

I would say 70 and about 40 are on PVR. The missing ones are usually because I forgot to set the PVR.

Get to 2 or 3 live now, used to have a 9 game pack but as the kids got busier I found I was selling at least half and lots of times giving away so we let them go.

When I was in Alberta I would watch 99 percent of them, it's hard being on eastern standard time, having a 1 year old and getting up at 530 for work. This season I'm on pace for watching my lowest since before satellite tv. I watch part of each game, but can't watch all of them. Early in the week is especially difficult. When I miss a period or so, I'll cheat and watch the game in 9 minutes on YT the following day to get the highlights.

[The Familia]

Back in the day? All 75-82. I would schedule things around Flames games.
This season my grand total is 0 full games (caught a couple periods of various games here and there when they are on CBC). I don't even have Sportsnet at the moment! Once the Grey Cup is over I will switch from TSN to Sportsnet (we cut our cable package down so I'm just running with TSN at the moment). Having a 4 month old has taken most of my time, plus I'd rather watch a movie or series with the wife.

[gilligans_off]

All 82 + preseason + any young guns Tournament/intrasquad games I can get in

[Redliner]

As many as I can.

Sometimes work and/or other commitments get in the way, but generally I attend 5-10 games per season in person and stream the rest. I haven't kept track exactly but I would estimate I miss less than 6 games a year.

I remember when I was a kid there were only maybe 20 games a season on TV, so having every single game televised now is amazing.

[calgaryred]

All 80 or 82 games when I was a kid and teen, now being a husband, Dad and a full time job maybe 20 to 30

Are you saying you don't take my opinion seriously now? Mr Decaf?

[Jetfire]

75+ I'd say, though I don't physically watch every one. About a third I listen to on the radio when I'm at work.

Only ones I might miss are those stupid really early games.

[Mathgod]

At the very least I listen to all 82. As for watching I'd say it's in the 65-70 range.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

Never missed a game? Pfft. I’ve never watched a game. Every post I’ve made in the FOI forum for the past 14 years has been a lie.

[rollie619]

This year I've seen parts of every one, years previous probably only 20-30.

[fastpuck]

Close to 80, might miss a game or two, and I stream them all.

[Sainters7]

70-75 sounds about right.

I'm also a huge football fan, so in the early NHL season (after the first 2-3 weeks when the novelty of it being back wears off), I'm defaulting to Stamps/Saints if they & the Flames are playing at the same time. But once it gets into the New Year, I pretty much don't miss Flames games, barring something drastic.

[GS Skier]

My wife and I TRY to watch them all however I work early and sometimes those west coasters I can handle 1-2 periods and that's it so 70 and 66% of the rest?!?

[Inferno]

As long as I have access to a tv or computer I will watch them. The only exception was last season.

I've gone through some painful season and still watched most of the games but after about 1/4 into last season I just lost any desire. Sutter getting hired sucked me back in but once the new coach bump wore off and they went back to playing Ward hockey I lost interest again. I always knew though that things would be better this season. Maybe not this good but games would be more enjoyable to watch win or lose.

[nfotiu]

75ish if you count the 10/10:30 eastern games where I'm falling asleep on the couch at some point in the 2nd or 3rd period.

[Patek23]

I probably catch about 70 or so on TV. Probably only follow games towards the end of the regular season with eyes glued type of attention though. I find games of the last few years pretty boring. The intensity level just isn't there anymore until games start to really matter.

[calumniate]

I intend to watch around 102 games this season. May even catch the parade but not sure yet

[the_only_turek_fan]

I am going to miss the next three after this one for Christmas parties and my daughters dance recital.

��

I do love Christmas parties though.
