CalGARY... like he is saying 2 names, Hi my name is Cal Gary. he could just refer to them as the flames but nooooo he has to annoy me to the point where I have to post a new thread to rant about it!!!! Go Gary. I mean Flames. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I hear it too. Very weird. But I remember listening to an old comedy sketch called "Boot to the Head". It's the reading of a last will and testament. In the end, the deceased decides to leave all his money to the city of "Cal Gary" so they can afford to move someplace decent Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroseed Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 What... a... game.I'm mainly watching this to find out who the Avs play in the next round, but man, I can't even believe that the Flames came back from 4-0 to take it to double OT! And yeah... that Cal-GARY thing is kind of annoying after hearing it for like the 328492th time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I think the one saying that is the awesome Kelly Chase.He should talk more, cuz he's way better than the play by play guy or Roloson.

STL FANATIC Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Well Chase hasn't been saying that much, so maybe another anouncer is doing it also. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 and it's pronounced Cal-Gree---2 syllables... ...or at the very worst, CAL-guh-ree (3 syllables, accent on the first, the last two syllables jumbling together). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Cal-gary seems to be a prominent pronunciation amongst Canadian announcers, I've noticed. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

zer0dotcom Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Agrred. I was catching the end of this one up at the Campus Pub. Lots of people there were pumped watching that one go down. Great effort by the Flames to come back and tie it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Wow, what a heartbreak for the Flames and their poor fans... an amazing hockey match all around. Yeah it is--but it would have been a heartbreaker no matter who lost...There's still game 7 (and has anyone else noticed, but all the Canadian teams are going to a game 7! well, except the Oilers who didn't make it) Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
