1. YEEEEE-HAH!!!!!

I was following the game for a while online but got distracted during the third period when they were tied. I'm sorry I forgot to return to the game, but I'm glad to hear they won!

LET'S GO FLAMES!!! :bounce: :headbang: :party: :toast: :party: :headbang: :bounce:

2. Calgary was outplayed, but weathered the storm

3rd period and most of overtime was all Tampa Bay (I told you DUers they were the team to watch this year. See! See!). Kipper even made a couple of blunders that they were able to recover from. In the end, Calgary had a burst of energy and I think it just took Tampa Bay off guard.

3. It's going to be a madhouse.

I wish I could be there for it.

4. People are driving around screaming and honking

Somebody's setting off fireworks nearby. And I'm in a far-flung suburb, I can imagine what's going on downtown. They win on Saturday, and the place is going to go blotto.

8. "the place is going to go blotto"

Yep. That's the word I was looking for. Never knew it existed until now, but that pretty much nails it on the head. :)

5. Heaven on earth!

I'd love to be there if they win.

Hell,I'd love to be in Calgary anyways :shrug:

6. I turned on the local news

The Red Mile (party bar district) is wall-to-wall twentysomethings, I hope they brought in enough portapotties.

7. Wall to Wall twentysomethings?

I'd hope they'd bring enough riot police.

10. I wonder how many show up to work today?

ZenLeftyGirl and I always wondered how many Calgarians can still go to work after a night of wall-to-wall partying. :o

13. It's the Stampede that does it

The annual 10-day party and drunk fest. Calgarians have lots of practice.

[ironflange]

12. They have been well behaved

We'll see what happens if we win tomorrow. I don't expect much trouble though, it's Edmonton where they turn cars over and burn things when they win stuff.

9. hopefully they win in game seven

11. I had to leave for work when the overtime started.

I am a Chicago Blackhawk fan. I will be watching this series.

14. Man, oh man!

Would I ever love to be there! Our cable has been out since we had vicious storms. I've been rooting for Calgary!

15. Half of my office is MIA.

And a lot of people who work here didn't show up either (badoomsh)
We really need a snare drum smilie.
