How about we keep it PG and go with
"Shirts tucked for Tkachuk".

That's a good quote for when the Flames aren't shooting during a game.

I for one hope the Red Mile is kept relatively classy this year. Rowdy but appropriate. I'd hate for us to end up on the news and lose the moral high ground we've enjoyed over edmonton and vancouver for all these years.

In 2015 game three? maybe four. A garbage can got in inadvertently knocked over. A group of us stopped picked it up, put the trash back in it while chanting "we're better than Vancouver."

All we have to do is keep the sweatpant ratio below 50% and not burn our city down. It's a pretty low bar they've set. I think we're good.

That's a pretty low standard. Vancouver had their riots.
Edmonton's "Copper Mile" was interesting. I lived in Edmonton then, a few blocks off Whyte (on 87th by campus). It was utterly ridiculous. After the Oilers won round 1, a bunch of us went to Whyte. We saw a guy driving a truck full of pallets on the way, asked him what he was doing with all of them, and he said he was going to go to Whyte and light them on fire. He was a man of his word.
Saw some girls in a shopping cart lifted up flashing, so what happens, but someone pitches fireworks in. Just troglodytic behavior.
Also saw a lot of people trying to shimmy across the wire traffic lights and falling off into the crowds below. Throwing bottles at firefighters on top of buildings. What good times.
Calgary is going to have to go out of their way to get to that level, because a lot of that is just Edmonton culture. It is inherently more blue collar and violent. Gods, I miss it sometimes. I don't even know if Calgarians could find a load of pallets to torch in the middle of a major street, let alone even consider it.
FTR, I lived in Edmonton for 8 years, absolutely loved it, would move back again (probably because it was during Uni, so best years of your life). It also really solidified me as a Flames fan that hates the Oilers.

I don't understand the irrational hatred for sweat pants. They are damn comfortable, and don't hurt my gut when I sit. This, coming from a middle class working professional.

It's not the fact that you wear them, it's when and where. Do you wear them to work?

There was nothing inherently wrong with the swastika as a symbol, either, until it became associated with the Nazis.
... to be clear, in this analogy, Oilers fans are the Nazis.

If someone gets a doctorate in 8 years, they are by all accounts a genius and an over achiever.

Moderation fun for everyone. Yeah that’s this year’s new slogan for the not so red mile.

I would love to hear how some of the young women from 04 feel on the matter now.

I was 21 in 04 and it was so much fun. Now I would feel like that old guy that’s creeping on some young women. But with that said, I’ll probably hit up a pub and hang out with the same people that I did back then. And my wife who was also with me in 04

Of course not, but what people do/wear on their personal time is their own business - providing that it does not infringe upon anyone else's right to do the same. If people choose to wear sweat pants in public (I do it too, it feels good, and frankly I don't give a damn what anyone thinks), who are we to judge?

This town does need another '04.
From the business boom aspect to the roudy fun to people simply coming together as a community to celebrate. Nearly half the population was imported since that time and don't know what its all about. Some don't even know Iginla as a household name today. It's a travesty. This all must change and new legends made. And this time redemption against those wicked Shazams of the east.
