Then I will take a break from hockey for one season max - you know, about the same time that the Calgary Cowboys, or the Calgary Killers, or whatever that new NHL franchise is named. Maybe it will be the Calgary Hurricanes. Maybe I will even change my tune and say that I couldn't be happier that we got Lindholm instead of Monahan.
This comes from a fan of the Flames since 1981. The team is free to move on to another location. I will be free to snap my fingers like Beyonce, and start singing the lyrics to Irreplaceable.
Don't for a second believe that I will be alone. Sad to see the Flames leave? For sure. I will get over it though, you can also be sure of that.

What's nice about this debate is it has made many of us realize that we were giving the Flames too much importance in terms of what really matters in a City.
Also, it seemed like to me that previously stating something like "if the flames leave I will be sad but it isn't worth what they are asking for from the taxpayers, so if it comes to that, that is ok" used to be consider blasphemy, and now, it is a valid opinion.
