What ruffles most people's feathers is that the Leafs, Habs, Canucks and I believe the Sens all built their own arenas. Folks think Murray Edwards and Co should pony up their own dough for an arena.
While those folks have a point, and there is precedent, teams like the Oilers and CFL clubs have received public funds to build their venues.
So it's a muddy situation.
