Not the winning part. They’re not ready for that yet. I’m talking about the free beer part to get some asses in seats:

Calgary’s a playoff team even after losing Johnny Hockey and Matthew Tkachuk and they’re giving away free beer for the home opener. Flyers fans are watching Nic Deslauriers and paying full price. What gives? Ant thinks there are going to be a good amount of fans tonight at the season opener and I can’t blame him. Flyers fans have to experience this trainwreck in person at least once. For the other 40 games, the Flyers are going to have to get creative. I wouldn’t hate a Dollar Dog Night. I think “Shoot Chuck Fletcher Out of a Cannon Night” would sell out. You could even have Tony DeAngelo read an original copy of Huckleberry Finn. The ideas are endless.
Kinkead: I always loved how Barry Melrose would pronounce Calgary. “Cal-Gary”
