With the NHL's regular season coming to a close, many teams are preparing for the playoffs. Among these, are the Calgary Flames, who proved that they are a serious contender back in 2003-2004, who came within one goal of winning the Stanley Cup. The fans in Calgary were loving it, partying in the middle of 17th Ave. each night that their team won. 17th Ave. quickly became known as Calgary's "Red Mile".But, the Calgary police have announced that there will be none of that this year. Any celebrations from fans must be done indoors and at a reasonable volume, or so the cops say. Needless to say, the fans aren't too happy about it. Hockey is Canada's sport, so obviously Canadian fans are going to be excited when there team makes it as far as the Flames have.
The players on the Flames aren't too happy about it either. They loved it that the fans supported them so much and got so excited about their playoff run and are disappointed that it won't happen again this year. Well, actually it probably will happen again this year, but the police are threatening to place "rowdy" fans under arrest it they block off that street this year.
Oh my, haven't the cops got anything better to do? Are there no crimes being committed? No drug dealers out selling cocaine to kids? No convenience stores being robbed? Somebody must've given the Calgary police a bad batch of doughnuts. They seem awfully grumpy.

"what are you in for?" "celebrating..."...i mean really, the next thing, its gunna be like ustria around here. if you want to know what i meant by that last sentence, you gotta buy "Business Trip."
