A missed opportunity IMO. Flames and oil...what could be more Fort mac that that?
"So, I realize you just lost everything you own to a fire, but if you give me $30 to watch a hockey game, I'll make sure at least $5 of that money goes into a fund to help you and the rest of the people affected by that fire."

I would rather the Flames just make a sizable donation to the fund, take their tax write-off, and use the preseason games for what they're intended for: evaluating the new players and getting some rust off the old ones.
