Don't mistake that appreciation as being on CSEC's side. KK and Edwards can eat a big bag of dicks.
Alright, but I sure hope that myth of the brilliant business minds of Murray Edwards, Ken King et al dies at the end of this debacle. The Winnipeg Jets organization has made it a viable business in Winnipeg with a completely private arena, one half the population, less disposable income, and maybe one quarter the corporate sponsorship budgets. I may be a layman but, based on the foregoing, I don't accept that many in the Flames organization are "experts".
