Even though Bret Hart made me hate an antire generation of Canadians, I'm routing for Calgary all the way, and am happy to see the nation gets it's cup back (hell, it's your game).

Sorry, if it doesn't snow in your town or are a major metropolitan city, you shouldn't have an NHL team (Sorry San Jose!)

heheheh why thanks. I can't believe I'm talking to a female who knows so much about hockey. If you can down a molson faster than me, we're getting marrried.

Tampa WISHES they could be the Sea of Red. The only reason they passed out the shirts last night was in response to the sea of red, which consists of fans who shelled out probably more than 50 bucks for a jersey.

Plus, I hear the different chants at Flames games...in typical American fashion, the PA guy needs to play the organ to get the crowd going the way Calgary just starts the "GO FLAMES GO"., Very soccer-like high school crowd...and I love it, and hope Darryl's boys feed off of that.

Don;t get me wrong, I'll always be an Avalanche fan, but it's great to see a city rally around a team like that.

Well I don't know if I can down a molson quicker than you...but I can try!

I love hockey. To me it's the greatest game in the universe. Not only am I a fan, but I play too (and 100% hetero!)

And I can guarantee you that those flames fans shelled out more than 50 bucks for those jerseys. Cheap ones start around 80 bucks (that's Canadian) and depending on store and if you want letters on them and how popular they are you could easily spend $200 on a jersey ( my brothers Leaf Jersey was $120 bucks without a name and his Buffalo Sabres jersey with Stu Barnes' name was $140)

My b/f and I were going to drive into Calgary this weekend for the game, unfornately he's throwing me a grad/birthday party tomorrow night - so no partying on the red mile for me; but we will have the game on at the party.

I knew Tampa would do something like wear white after seeing the sea of red. I wish Vancouver would do something like that - fans used to wear all white back in the day - "white noise". But at least we have the towels and can claim "ownership" of that!

Go Flames Go!

No....that was the Steeler's idea

Lady Pi Phi · #11 06-04-2004, 01:56 PM

Didn't the Jets used to do something like that en masse?

Was it towels? White shirts? I can't remember but I'm pretty sure they did something.

The "Terrible Towels" from the Pitt Steelers

Oh yeah duh! I remember the last game in Manitoba when the Red Wings killed them like 6-0. The place was so surreal, all wearing white and cheering them on for the last time.

Well, I wonder who started that first

I realized something: When Winnepeg would play San Jose, we'd have West Side Story all over again!

Yeah it would be interesting to know who started it first.

I wonder how these things start. Obviouslt Tampa wanted to do something to beat the Sea of Red. But who started these traditions? Was it a couple of fans? Were they marketing ploys by the teams?
