holy fuckars

i just got home from 17th ave. what a nut house. watched the game at a buddies house. went down to 17th to find 35,000 other people down there. The cops had 17th blocked off from 4th street to 8th street. I parked at the saddledome as there was no one attending the parking lot and it was empty since everyone was trying to get out. Started at 1st street and 17th ave and walked west. From 1st all the way up to 4th is was packed with cars and I rand up giving high fives to everyone in the cars. Once we got to 4th it was just a sea of people. At 5th street it was the most crowded i've ever seen in my life. It took me about an hour to navigate from 5th to 6th. Good thing i'm not closterphobic. I'm, suprised no one got trampled. It basically was a huge ass mosh pit. there was probably 5-10,000 people in that one block alone. There were some chicks dancing on cars and roofs so thats probably why. Walked up to 8th where the roadblock ended and realized that I had lost two of my buddies in the sea of people. Stood around for another hour waiting for them to come to us. Finally got them on the phone and one came up to 8th. We went a block south so we could get on to 16th ave to avoid the mosh pit and got back on 17th at 4th street and walked back through the cars where by a sudden miracle we ran into the other lost friend. We went back to the car and drove home. Spent probably 3 or so hours down there. Incredible. Coolest thing i've seen in my entire life. a lotr of cops. a lot of beer. cops were cool though. they went up to people and took the beer and dumped it out. no fines or arrests. waste of beer though. some cops were even giving high fives to drunk people. rock:

As for the game, talk about clutch players. Iggy and Gelly. Thats why Iggy is the captain. Where would we be without him. And Gelly is the eliminator. The Flames beat all three division champs to get to the finals. Including the presidents trophy champs detroit. No team has ever done that before. Best in the west baby! Now we get to raise that new banner for the rafters next year!!! Hopefully there will be another one beside it with some silver looking thing on it. rock:
