I remember back when I was a GM how Calgary was a laughing stock. That changed.

u should come back and be active again tbh

Dragons Dynasty was way better IMO, since the site was way more active and a lot of people considered it an actual dynasty, etc

lol so much jealousy.

I'm not mad or jealous. I'm just pointing out that the Dragons Dynasty was much bigger and had a much bigger impact on the site than the Blizzard's current one did.

I didn't even know the Blizzard had won 3 in 4 until reading this article.

No cgy never had 3 in 4 and the roster that they won it with is the roster they have jadt for a long time. The Blizzard 3 cup wins have very different roster in all their wins and this hasn't been done except for the blizzard Blizzard is the beat team in SHL history
