Because it exemplifies the uniqueness of sports to bring us together regardless of our circumstances. The fact that someone who is about to die thinks the greatest thing is to get an autographed Mark Giordano photo, well that speaks a lot about how much the team, the sport, and the players really mean to us. They give us an escape from the things that really mean something and can do us harm on a daily basis. Regardless of our political affiliation, our race, our sex, or sexual preference, or any other thing that divides us, for 3-4 hours on game day we are all members of the same tribe and hope for the same things. That reparative power is something special. That's why he celebrates it and why he tells that story.

Decorum? For who? the man who wants to rob this city? Screw that noise.

It's called a conversation. And he is not trying to rob anyone. His enterprise brings a great deal of value to the local economy, through good and bad. He's just looking out for his interests just like Nenshi is.

Why is it a badge of honor to shake KK's hand? Is he like a person who lead to positive change in society or something? or a business man?
|
Because King, at one time, was a symbol of the positive change that happened in the club. The game experience changed and the team wanted to be more competitive. That was a massive improvement over Rod Bremner. A lot of people, some in this thread, saw value in that and went out of their way to shake his hand and then tell the story about it on this board. Oh, I'm sorry, milk the story about it here on this board. Amirite?

I hope the Flames move to Seattle and have a hard time selling even one ticket.

Why are you even on this board if you hate the team so much? And yes, the owners and management are a big part of the team. If the team is sold and moves to Seattle I doubt they have any trouble selling tickets. If they do, it will be another owner and their problem to deal with. The current owners will have made bank off of their investment, and you'll have nothing to do all winter. Yeah, you'll show them!
