Просмотров 917 месяцев назад
After general manager Craig Conroy vowed to give young players a shot, arguably nobody has grabbed hold of those opportunities more than rookie forward Connor Zary. We took a look at some key plays Zary has made in the first half of the 2023-24 season to determine what makes him so effective.

Stampede Park construction update, Sept. 22
Просмотров 4710 месяцев назад
A quick tour of the various Stampede Park area road construction projects as of mid-to-late September 2023.
I predict Gavin McKenna will score the first goal at the fire pit!!
Great design. Edmontons looks like a giant bed pan. Thankfully they didn't do anything as ugly as that.
I've nick named Scotia place the *** FIRE PIT ***
I don't find it impressive at all.
Looks horrible. Disgusting, hideous “MoDeRn” architecture. Literally all they had to do was build another Saddledome except 4-5,000 seats bigger. Instead we get some woke monstrosity. I will never set foot in that building. Dome or bust. Bust? So be it. Bust it is.
Does anyone have an opinion on the new arena has 800 seating less than the Saddledome? Doesn't that make it a bit harder to get seats?
when they were talking about the four elements, i thought they were going to shock us all with a opening roof, to represent Air.
Fire Place
Calgarians better not complain about high taxes and inability to update water mains.
the design fits in well with the climate recently of Alberta wild and on fire like hell add some crazies drugs drunk hoodlums and local indigenous art you got trashy just like rest of victoria park.
After all the hype and anticipation of this new arena I was expecting a much more spectacular design …..this was not it.
Tell city politicians you're willing to pay more taxes for something nicer. You can have anything you want if you pay for it.
Lol this design is insane what did you expect a bed pan like Edmonton 😂
Scotia Fire Place
Scrotum Fire Crotch Laaaaaaaame. Dome or bust.
This Building Will Be Built At The Convergence Of The Elbow & Bow Rivers A Natural Floodplain, I Hope The Have Done Some Floodproofing This Time!
No problem, taxpayer money is free to billionaire team owners.
From Saddle Dome To Hot Seat!
Laaaaaaame
12:41 exactly what Stampede does with Sneak a Peak. Great chance for a first run, iron out the kinks before Day 1 after parade. Stampede know what they're doing.
Thanks for a great update, Ryan
Robert hayes seems like he’s a lot better than Bean. Both him and the coo seem like they’ll do great things. Both are keeping fans informed which is important.
The deal to build this with city, province, Flames is a joke
Keep crying
Thanks for paying for Alberta’s biggest cities arena!!!!!
Can't wait for the Calgary taxpayers to ante up to pay for the Ice District infrastructure - or is Danielle Smith only giving money to Calgary for that?
get over it 😂
You need a tissue?
Can't wait for it!! The Saddledome is Iconic but as you said way past it's prime/what it was designed for. Unfortunately the Saddledome is kind of isolated and solitary to a point, If the new building can do as others have in major sports markets and be a focal point that more community projects get built around and help build/express the Identity of Calgary today/spur on other local business I think the money from tax payers being put towards it is more than worth it!
There's a couple pretty unique ideas in there. I'm excited for a fresh arena with a fresh core of players! Thanks for the video as always Pike!
Rogers Place has 3 Parkade Vestibules with Elevators 🛗 ,for guests attending Oilers, Oil Kings & Concerts to use after they have their tickets 🎫 scanned & go through security check in the parkade. Wonder if Calgary’s New Arena Parkade area will be similar or not?
Will Calgary’s New Arena Parkade Entrance /vestibule area be similar to Rogers Place in Edmonton?
👍👍👍👍
Scotia Firepit 🔥
Literally just typed that in a comment above and then saw this. I like the way you think sir.
From "Saddle" To "Hot Seat"!
Lame, lame, lame, and more lame.
My hope is the cool looking fire pattern up along the top of the place will be lit up with LEDs in a way to make it look like the fire is flickering. That would be a really neat effect and give it an even more unique look.
hopefully! they said largest LED board in Canada so I think it has to be like that
Trash
@@JesusFriedChrist Okay.
I like it guys...The Scotia Fireplace.🏒🔥🔥🔥
Lame
i love the look of the exterior but the name is awful. they should make it scotiabank cauldron or dome or something cool... hell, even arena or something better than place. scotia place is brutal
Fire Place
@@jerryjay-vv6wu It's gotta be the Fire Pit
Scotiabank Corral or Scotia Corral I think would have been better/tied back to the origins of the team in Calgary playing in the Stampede Corral for the first 3 years they were here.
Ya this ain’t in Nova Scotia name makes no sense. I will just refer to it as nudome
Ryan's Lines: Sharangovich - Kadri - Kuzmenko Huberdeau - Zary - Mantha Coleman - Backlund - Pospisil Pelletier - Rooney - Lomberg Weegar - Miramanov Bean - Anderson Bahl - Pachal
Not enough talk about how there's no room for Coronato in flames land eh? I dont mind it, as the Wranglers looked pretty great, but behooves the team to make space for Matt if he comes into camp and earns it. I could see a situation where if Kuzy starts the year off on fire, we trade him by December and Coronato comes up and takes a top 9 spot and runs with it.
Have a good time off. Maybe Pelts with Backs and Coleman if he has a good camp.
What’s up with Oscar dansk is he still with the Wranglers?
Thanks for doing these videos Pike! Not sure if you read these comments but I picked up your book and there are some fascinating tidbits in there. That cross sport trade thing was crazy.
Be a lot easier to follow if you left the lineups on the screen. while discussing them
Great suggestion! Still getting the hang of managing graphics effectively!
Ryan you look like you just finished a shift serving tables at red lobster!! I beleive William Stromgren will crack this line up.. I hate the Mantha signing becuase it will be tough to give minutes to Coronato now and goos luck Pelletier getting any playing time.. I expect top 3 lines to look like this Huberdeau,sharangovich,kuzmenko or Mantha... Zary,Kadri and Pospisil... Steomgren,Backlund and Coleman..
I've been shat on for that exact take. I don't understand putting more established middle 6 wingers in the way of coronato and Pelletier. There's already enough wingers to have a solid competition in camp and throughout the year. But mantha is signed, hopefully gets flipped before long.
so if grindin plays in the Q this year, is he eligible to play in the ahl next year?
Yes
What do you think of Jaden Lipinski, do you think he could make the Wrangler team this season
Another good vid Ryan! I think Ignatjew's name is pronounced Ignat-chev
Who would you pick for a rookie type getting < 10 NHL games at the start
as long as our new arena isn't the "Tuna Can" like Rogers. Damn that thing is ugly.
Lomberg ✅ Cooley ✅ Bean ✅ Mantha X.. Frk ?? Others Fart!!
The mayor of Piketown ……Ryan Pike. Sounds like a Northern Pike . Solid review. I give it 🐟🐟🐟🐟out of 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Shillington is a backstabbed plain and simple. Piss off traitor
Welcome back Ryan! Thanks for the vid. Are you going to a recap video of the development camp too?
Welcome back. Thanks for these great vids. They should weaponize the cap to get picks
I'd like to avoid fixer upper contracts. Let's get players that have some recent proof of effectiveness. The banker thing, for picks would be interesting
Really appreciate your breakdowns Pike! I've got about 30 pages left in Theo's book and then I'm moving on to yours! Excited to read it, I've heard good things.
Flames draft was almost as good as the Sharks 😉 Good stuff cuz
I don't recommend this channel
Pike Bomb!
