[PGT] Flames burn Leafs 5-2 (ATL in post #189)

[djsFlames]

Not going to lie, the last two wins have made me chirpy and proud.

Don't want to get too high, but you've got to give those digs when they're earned.

Especially on the filth that is Toronto and Vegas.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet but I just saw it.

The Calgary Flames continued their winning ways Thursday night in front of a loud crowd at the Scotiabank Saddledome, but some fans are questioning whether all capacity and masking rules were followed.

The Flames have to not only make money but makeup or try for what they lost and if people don't feel comfortable going then they shouldn't go. If it becomes an issue and games become spreader events then we can deal with it then.

Quite right. We should just ban fans at hockey games forever, because you can never be too careful.

Except most people are vaccinated and Omicron seems to have run it's course, plus games in the US were going without the 50% capacity the whole time we were doing it up here.

How can someone judge if they are comfortable or not if they can't rely on the Flames to enforce what they are supposed to? If someone went to last night's game because they were comfortable with a 50% capacity 'dome what can they do?

[Macman]

As per that article I posted there has been no comment from the Flames although fans knew going to this game that food and drink were back on.

Is 50% capacity really any safer, you're still in an enclosed environment.

Polite suggestion - take the Covid/dome discussion to a different topic?

That's not what I said, though.

But my comment was a bit tongue in cheek on taking a reactive approach to something when it might be too late. I do think we're at a stage where a sensible approach to getting back to near normal is fine.
