you know, i agree with this partly as it did suck around november when we were almost last and it did suck. but from december on my heart was sewn back on. maybe because of the signs :) ON a side note, flames had the best goals for from december on in the whole league. Just saying!

@TheThumwood - The comeback was pretty good; what was that in December or was in January where we were cleaning up? I try to pretend like I don't care when we miss the PO's but when it's so close I can't shake the disappointment. The posters were about as much of a fun graphic design idea as it was about the Flames ... just one of those ideas you can't leave alone until it's completed.

Hopefully Calgary picks it up soon, Vancouver vs Calgary games are not as exciting as they used to be!!

@gurjeet3 - For some strange reason, I'm looking forward to the Winnipeg matches with the 3 western Canadian teams.

Loved the banners, and thought they expressed the feeling of the city quite well. Hopefully you repeat the project next season... but with Stanley Cups!

[RoyStallin]

@Resolute45 - for a cup run, I'd definitely think of another batch ... more of the festive variety to be sure. Cheers!

@cman1138 Ouch. Why so crabby? Gosh, I'm just having fun. You assume I do nothing for charity. I think the project IS cool, or else I wouldn't have "wasted my time". People drink their faces off at the dome 3 hours a night for home games and you're not accusing them of wasting their time. Why does the internet need to be such a place of negative trashing on others ideas? Wow, sorry for breathing sour puss!

@RoyStallin It did suck when we didnt make it but I have no doubt in my mind that we wont if we continuee with that same mentality we had last second half of the season. on a side note, i think maybe you could do something to get the dome "red" again. It still is pretty red but you get some people who come not wearing a jersey OR RED. LIke come on! the C OF RED! Just a pet peeve...

Ya it does suck when we miss the playoffs alot... The posters were really cool but i think next time you should do something that makes everybody cheer on the flames even MORE

@sollostyles

@gurjeet3 Why in God's name would you want 4 Canadian teams in one division !?!? Check your head son !

@RoyStallin

Yes defiantly

If the NHL sticks to 6 divisions in 12-12, Then Van, Edm, Cal, Win, and Col would be a sick division.
