Calgary has always been a harder sell due to the climate and relative islolation. If you don't have "winning", it becomes all that more difficult.
Ultimately, I do believe that winning and money are the 2 biggest factors, and right now we only have one of those. Iginla helped temper the "not winning" aspect a little, since as long as he was there, you knew the Flames were trying. Now that he is gone, we can't even pretend anymore.
