I should stop posting in the hockey forum. I know nothing about hockey. But I can't resist the urge to comment.

Post titties, then talk about hockey, or pretend to. We might get this forum jumping.

Calgary is best hockey town in N. America: Sporting News

CALGARY (CBC) - Calgary is the best NHL city in North America, the Sporting News says.

The American magazine says the Flames run for the Stanley Cup, which prompted rabid fans to create the Red Mile, where tens of thousands gathered to celebrate and mourn, was a major reason the city received the number one ranking.

The Sporting News based the ratings on win-loss records, playoff berths, fan fervour and overall atmosphere.

The nod for Calgary isn't sitting well in Edmonton though, which still considers itself a better hockey town.


"In terms of drawing a crowd, I'm stumped," Oilers president Patrick Laforge said. "I think the Oilers have sold out in periods of drought and periods of success, and the Flames had trouble selling out even when they were winning last fall."

Flames president Ken King says Edmonton's hockey crown is ancient history.

"To the extent that history matters, and for those who can't bring themselves to current history, you guys just gotta get over that," he said.

However, both teams agree on one thing – the choice of Toronto as Canada's best sports city.

"This must be done with a dartboard and blindfolding," Laforge said.

I agree with this Laforge dude. Big Grin

Well, for that last x many years - yes. I agree with TO. But, this last year, Calgary rocked as far as being an NHL city. There was more people on the streets cheering when Calgary lost than in Tampa Bay when they won. Plus, girls in Calgary show titties during play-offs. Toronto? I don't think so Wink


Calgary - MarkyGman - 08-05-2004

Yeah I'd have to agree with ya in Calgary it looked like it was quite a fun time on the "Red Mile" there.

But i've been to Toronto for a few playoff games and if they ever get to the finals(crosses fingers)it will be just incredible in TO.

mind you i do find people outside of ontario are friendly and generally have a better behaved communities.

oh and yes they show more titties too.
