Many Calgarians on the Red Mile spread out into 17th Avenue S.W. following the victory, which prompted Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi to remind citizens to keep it clean.
It's time to celebrate! Remember to keep it fun and safe for everyone,wherever you are! The only cans shown should be for the Food Bank! :-)

Flames fans have officially taken over the street which is often the party place to be after Flames wins during the playoffs.
