Same arguments over and over. There tends to be a few hundred thousand people watching games and - in an amazing coincidence - they almost all reside in southern Alberta. It's almost like fans tend to have a connection with the geographically local team.
If 'TV fans' don't care about the Flames, why do we have this board? why do we have countless threads having the same discussions? why is there so much angst towards KK and Bettman whenever the idea of moving the team is brought up?
