Those of you saying they will just give stop payin attention until the front office figures it out is, in my opinion, part of the problem.
If fans turn a blind eye and don’t support the team with their dollars and raising awareness amongst friends and community, acting like you don’t care so to speak, is part of the problem. Not part of the solution.
Those thinking that this is all smoke and mirrors, think again. Losing this team is a very big reality. And I’m not ok with that. As a fan base we need find a way to to make it loud and clear that it is not okay if the Flames move.
This would never have been a possibility if Harley or Doc were around. And the fact that this team was a major part of their life’s work, they would be so utterly disappointed in all parties who are travelling down this road..
Just disgusting.

the relocation fee would be almost as high as building an arena. Likely they would be moving to a lesser market. They have to pay to leave almost as much to stay, so it seems a very hollow threat.
