The on-Ice product is stale and lacking in originality. The Flames the only thing keeping me interested since I've been emotionally invested in this team since I was 4, so about 19 years.
That said, I'm not a Flames fan first, I'm a Calgary fan. If the Flames want to pack their bags and leave then so be it. WHL hockey is fun and the Hitmen are actually a well run team. I could get behind them easily.

Burke, IMO, really came off poorly and that people that were leaning towards supporting them are now leaning towards saying Go F yourself...
