It's pretty evident that's not going to happen. Even here, the most hardcore element of the fan community, fans are charitably (to CSEC) split 50/50 on the issue. In fact, my sense is CSEC's tactic has actually soured a lot of fans on them. Turns out we aren't as irrational as King and company hoped. My sense is public support for the Flames, never particularly strong, is actually weakening.

I'd be guessing, just as you are, but I don't agree.
Nenshi has pretty solid numbers, assuming you can turn one of these vanilla opponents into an upset in 6 weeks would be pretty naive.
I think they wanted the whole thing public to get it moving. Done
