Don't touch one more Canadian team, don't threaten one more Canadian city.
There are few people I've hated so much, and my anger is up again.
Obviously, I'm an Oilers fan, but I don't want to see the Flames leave. Lot of skepticism right now about the timing of this new arena demand and the mayoral election in Calgary.
If the NHL wants to convince Calgary to build a new arena, they have to be a lot more clear about why this arena is "uncompetitive" - by a quick check, they look to have about the 5th most expensive average ticket, and are top 10 in attendance.
The arena might not have all the bells and whistles, but it's pretty unclear how it's putting the Flames at a competitive disadvantage in any way.
