That is kind of a jerky thing to say. You can say nice things about Denver without comparing to Calgary. I suspect that is more immaturity than anything else. Having lived in both cities I do believe there are many similarities. About the only consensus opinion would be that Denver's weather is preferable. As for which city is better? That is in the eye of the beholder.
\He said it's nicer because the weather is warmer and there are more things to do (I can't refute that, can you?). Not exactly jerky when you actually take a minute to read what was said.

Yeah I read what was said. "A nicer version of Calgary". With a couple of examples included in the article.
Have you ever moved? You probably didn't tell people from your old neighborhood or city that where you live now is just a nicer version of where you used to live. He's just a kid and like I said this isn't a big deal. But it meets the exact definition of jerky the way I interpret it. But at least he qualified it with "Honestly...". Now I assume everything else he said was a lie.

I'd have no issue telling people I like the new area better because of the weather or there are more things to do. Nor should anyone else. Seems to me like you just have a really thin skin.

I guess so. That is why I moved to America. It's just a nicer version of Canada.

From everything i heard that city is like a Calgary clone just double the size so yeah its going to have more to do, just like Vancouver has more to do.
Eventually the "more to do" gets tired too and then you start to see the worse side of living in a bigger but still not "big" city. I thought Vancouver was awesome the first time I went there. Now I couldn't ever spend more than a weekend there. Once you get over the fact that theres more bars and restaurants, you start to see the crackalackin crack heads sleeping on every second block and the unchecked clusterf*** Granville is and you start wondering if 25 extra different places that serve the same sushi as the other 100 or 15 extra bars that are clones of every other bar is really worth it.

Your post started so good then went to just plain ignorance.
Larger cities are more than just a few more bars and restaurants. There are more options for entertainment, which IMO is the biggest difference; Denver has the NFL, NBA and MLB, while drawing in better musical acts. Colborne also knows what he is getting in Denver as he went to college there.

Yeah I didnt think of the other leagues cause I was using Vancouver as my comparison.

Just being a major US hub plays a part too, especially for entertainment. I think even Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal end up being afterthoughts for alot of entertainment that travels due to them having to deal with customs. Even things like WWE don't seem to come to Canada as much as they used to since border security has increased.
Just like with most things when you compare America to Canada, Denver is going to be a more extreme version of Calgary. The stuff that's good is going to be better, and the stuff that's bad is going to be worse.
Denver is a pretty happening place these days. I'm sure if you have a ton of play money, it's pretty awesome.

I couldn't care less what Joe Colborne thinks about Calgary vs. Denver; this part of the article stuck out to me most:
Quote:
“They’ve mentioned they want me to play with some of their skill guys and bring a size and a net presence and puck control,” Colborne said of the Avs. “That’s what I was given the opportunity down the stretch at Calgary and I had some really good results. Hopefully I can pick up where I left off.”
Joe Colborne might bring size with him, but not net presence. He doesn't use his size to his advantage; never did. Have fun with that, Avs.
