After seeing their strategy and approach since you realize they are either scrimping on their backend office staff or somebody without a lot of depth is (badly) micromanaging everything.

I love the Flames, probably a little too much, and the way this has all played out has been pretty hard to watch.

Just hope it ends with a new building and the Flames sticking around. I know everybody thinks it is a longshot, but man it would be devastating if they left, and for me personally who is right or wrong would become meaningless.

As much as we love the Flames they're not the greatest organizationally.

Pre-game ceremonies are often bad
The anthem still has an organ
At one point had 4 home jerseys
Picked the wrong jersey for Adidas
Retired numbers AND forever a flame
Weird in game experience

We love them, but when you see ceremonies in Montreal for example, you can see how disorganized the Flames are.
