This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the original 2004 - 2014 thread , 2015 edition, 2016 edition , 2017 edition, 2018 edition and 2019 edition.
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply here as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

Yup, No 2 seed will be in important in the playoffs. That way we will only meet the Greek Freak in the Conference finals. And we will not have home court advantage for some of the matchups. Miami and Indiana have been surprisingly good this year.

Bucks put up 88 last night -- in the first half on their way to a 151-131 wins over Wiz. They look the beasts of the east but Raps took them down last year so anything is possible.

The back story is pretty good, Edmonton billboards showcasing Calgary Flames' Matthew Tkachuk leads to 'Charitable Battle of Alberta' | Sporting News with charities benefiting.
If necessary, round 3 is scheduled for Saturday February 1st back here in YYC.

Oilers spank the Flames 8-3 winning almost every battle in the process and leapfrog over Flames in the Pacific Div. standings. The game had everything from a penalty shot to goalies fighting to McDavid scoring a pair of goals and and a 4-point night for Draisaitl.

The SB tonight will be good, but not how people think. I'm taking the under and I've got SF 23-21. I do enjoy games where I'm not a fan of either team and I can just enjoy good football.

I'm really not sure what to make of it. I'd like to see Andy Reid win one though. Will be somewhat nice to be a neutral for a change though, I agree with you there.
