I'm sure that if the oilers were lost to Houston in the late 90's (it took Bettman to stop the sale as commish and save the team personally) we here in Calgary would welcome back the Oilers despite it possibly costing the team revenue as being the only game in town in Alberta.
Perhaps we should extend the same courtesy to our neighbors 2 provinces away. All this anti Winnipeg sentiment on this board is pretty exclusive for Canadian team message boards and perplexing, frankly.
