FS91 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Any fans planning on making the trip down? Me and a friend will be driving down tonight to Calgary and was wondering if there will be any others that will be doing the same so that we can make the trip together. Or if there are Canucks fans already in Calgary and know of a good place that we can get together before and after the game. Cheers and Go Canucks!

Mathew Barzal Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That's comforting haha I wouldn't underestimate the combination of hockey fans and booze. At the least bring a jacket to cover up pre and post game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono2009 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Dont go anywhere near the saddledome or red mile wearing canucks gear... its bad this year, lots of assaults already. and thats what lawyers and assault charges are for! I was at the game last night. Quite surprised. No idiot flame fans that I saw at all. They were pretty quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Dont go anywhere near the saddledome or red mile wearing canucks gear... its bad this year, lots of assaults already. Quite the idea there actually. Just have another buddy with a camera follow a few feet behind you and rake in the dough in civil suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Impersonator Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I've eaten on the red mile a few times.....almost thought I'd get kicked out of restaurant's for not being a meat head with tattoo's....very interesting seen there. ...........

Phil_314 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I was at the game last night. Quite surprised. No idiot flame fans that I saw at all. They were pretty quiet. Can't blame them, they did lose the game, plus Backlund made quite the statement all by himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Be safe, cheer loud, have fun!! Honestly, the day and age we can't go enjoy a hockey game is a sad and sorry day...that's why we have police. For morons who don't know how to accommodate that. Trash talking is one thing...if fans there don't behave they don't represent their team well. No, at all...they are then on their own as idiots. GO CANUCKS GO....great that you'll be there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 http://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/flames-organization-tells-fans-to-stop-harassing-women Calgary Flames executives Ken King and Brian Burke are asking hockey fans along the Red Mile to stop behaving in an illegal, offensive manner after reports of sexual harassment, violent language and intimidation of women during playoff games. Women say they’ve been feeling threatened and unsafe along the Red Mile with fans yelling at them, asking them to take their shirts off, carrying posters that say things like “Show your cans for Monahan.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucklehead Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Calgary is not Phoenix. Or most any other somewhat normal place where you could attend in your colors and take a mild ribbing from good natured fans. The mind set is numbing. If you haven't experienced it yourself you really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Strangelove Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Dont go anywhere near the saddledome or red mile wearing canucks gear... its bad this year, lots of assaults already. I was there for games 3/4 and I'll be there for game 6 I was fully decked out in gear and got a few dirty looks and stupid comments but no one came close to laying a finger on me. There are plenty of police officers around and lots of decent fans as well. Canucks fans going to the game wear that gear and be loud and proud :towel: edit: I didnt go near the bars and I would advise that any canucks fans do the same thats where the idiots congregate and the liquor flows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I was at the Merchant pub in Calgary for last night's game. Was in full Canucks gear and was only slightly harassed after while walking around. I had my husband with me in plain clothes so it wasn't too bad. If you're looking for a friendly pub check out Merchant or even Pig and Duke.

Dr.Strangelove Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This thread did not go the way I wanted haha. I was looking to find some travelling partners for a good time but instead I am now worried about coming back in one piece Id offer to meet up but Im already going with a friend and a bunch of his friends (their lames fans ) Some advice 1) Dont get aggressive if someones talking smack let it bounce off 2) Avoid the bars post game thats where the drunkest idiots are located 3) Dont be a loudmouth bashing the Flames constantly 4) Dont make yourself a target wearing gear and cheering for the Nucks wont unless your in a section of idiots in which case security is your friend 5) If things get out of hand in or outside the arena don't hesitate to phone the police of threaten to 6) Don't drink seriously alcohol a hard fought series and being in enemy territory doesn't mix trust me 7) If people are seriously crossing the line and trying to fight you or your afraid they might assault you take a photo and let them know if they dont stop you'll report it to the police/security and you have their photo to show the police/security. 8) If anything happens inside the arena and security doesn't do anything about it phone the police or tell security that you will this produces immediate results All of this comes from my experience with other teams arena's including Calgary. I wouldn't worry too much though for the most part things are pretty good after a game just don'tbe a dick and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaft Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I was minding my own business and still got somewhat harassed. I don't think there's anywhere you can go where you can avoid it. As others mentioned, don't get too drunk either. Might result in fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two drink minimum Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Dont go anywhere near the saddledome or red mile wearing canucks gear... its bad this year, lots of assaults already.That's what happens when you don't make the playoffs for 7 years.
