Don't underestimate the effect of a highly motivated cleanup effort. If federal money pours in like it would in the US, there will be lots of economic considerations and keeping the flames playing in Calgary next season HAS to be considered critical to the local economy.
I put my money on the Saddledome seeing the majority if not ALL of the home games next season. I got no evidence to back that up, but I've seen many fast-tracked repair projects for US disasters finish well ahead of schedule or even anyone's wildest dreams when construction crews are given financial intensives to finish on time or early.
HEARTBREAKING the news of lost memorabilia. Photographs, banners and paintings can be repaired.
Best of luck to the citizens dealing with THEIR property nightmares. As much as you all love the Flames and the Saddledome, most important is the well being of the citizens.
GOOD LUCK ALL!!!
