Tonight I'm gonna party like it's 19...89!

Last night, the C of Red in the Saddledome spilled onto 17th, turning it in the so-called "Red Mile" (Shouldn't we be using the metric system?). Got to see Vibe 98.5's Chicken-Suit man in person, a lot of people celebrating (even the cops were high-fiving folks as the went by them), a few sets of headlights (not too impressed), a few idiots (climbing up wet traffic signal signs) and finally here's proof that Elvis is alive (and he's a Flames fan)!! Guess his favorite colour is now red not blue.

Oh yeah, the game itself was pretty awesome. It went by really quick, not too many penalties which I think totally favours the Flames' style of play. Wanted to get one of those Western Champ caps after the game to go down 17th with, but the Fanattic only had the t-shirts ready. It was totally loud throughout the game, tons of standing O's, especially in the 3rd period. Had a totally jumpy gal in front of us. Good that she had one of those women's fitted jerseys on, bad that she blocked me from seeing the half the ice.

Three Words: Stanley Cup!!!
