What about other Flames owners?

If someone was giving me millions of dollars, I'd show up with a hat to hold out. And no ordinary ball cap... a nice silk top hat.

They're announcing the signing of Ottawa 67s forward (and Flames 2021 sixth round draft pick) Jack Beck.

The arena will be known as "The House that Jack Built."

No pressure, kid.

Also, don't call it centre, place or arena.

Corral, forum, palace, garden, etc.

If he actually gets that seat on the ATCO board, he's more likely to be manager of the Cavalry than the Calgary Flames.

Either way, the thought of cross-pollinating our revered local sports franchises with that sweaty cheese curd gives me a stomach ulcer.

I would like to thank the Oilers for retaining salary on both Lucic and our arena.

Gotta love the political corruption across the board !! I wonder given the financial hardships of the city, taxpayers and others, that we might get a better deal out of it than before? I am kidding of course but if anybody thinks that significant dollars for bribes was not part of this deal than your kidding yourself. There is no way that negotiations are going to be benefited to the taxpayer.

Bottom line is that the city had a little more leverage and I doubt they used it to OUR advantage.

I was hoping for a different rebuild, but hopefully those in Calgary will enjoy the new facility.

I'm hoping they call it "the ranch," with agrium or nutrigen or whatwver it's called now having naming rights.

Coached by the jolly rancher
GMed by the actually jolly rancher

Players referred to as ranch hands
