The dogs should be sent after him. Then rein them in at the last second and say "sorry, we trained them to fend off clowns".

Doggies might pause themselves if they catch a whiff!

A half goal per game is a huge difference.
It would have easily put Calgary into the playoffs.

Oh, I know. They add up. But it's not "oh that team is fun based on all the extra goals and this one isn't". It's not that much differenrt game over game. Calgary scored 3 and Edmonton scored 3.5 on average.

Everybody is my dog's newest best friend. He is so excited to meet and greet anyone and everyone, but now that you brought this up I realized that my dog completely ignores this clown.

Just in case anyone forgot, Edmonton is, and will forever be NO GOOD.
That is all.

GOAT!

Sportsnet's playoff video with Lay it On the Line playing... starts with "I wanna love you / I wanna make you mine" as they show McDavid walking in a suit lol.
How does anyone ever take that team or network seriously. What a gigantic pile of steaming no goodness the two of them make!

Just leave a huge bag of s**t at both of his doors. He'll think twice about coming out.

Woah, easy pal. Yeah,that was actually my bad. I mistyped that post and meant to say my kid's lacrosse team 'parents' wore oilers gear, which is who I made fun of. Grown, calgarian-living men and women with disgusting orange and blue clown gear on. It wasn't the kids. Kids often cheer for who their parents cheer for. Some say kids who live in calgary and cheer for the oilers is failed parenting...

As I noted in the blues jets game thread, if I never hear that song again it'll still be too soon. I feel like whoever is making the ads for sportsnet needs reining in. Same with the silly curling ad.

Edmonton is fun because they are in the final 8. Winning is fun.
Although this was the most enjoyable Flames season I've had in years. There is nothing like a bunch of hard working overachievers.

That wasn't the premise that I was responding to. The argument was that the dude's friends like Edmonton because they are casual fans and like all the goals. Which is a false premise.

Casual fans like flipping on SN "oilers universe central" and watch highlight reel goals. That usually consists of McDraisatl pulling off some sort of theatrics.
Casual fans also like cheering for a team that makes it in the playoffs because it's a reason to go out and be entertained. The Calgary flames are not providing any entertainment right now unless you are following the draft lotto.
It's entertainment for the majority of casual fans at the end of the day. They pick the team that gives them that. It's not a difficult concept.

Shrugs, I personally enjoy low scoring "boring" defensive hockey the flames play. It's playoff style hockey. I also think coronato is as exciting of a player to watch compared to Draisatl or mcdavid.
