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?

If the Flames moved, these people would stop watching hockey? spare your classic anecdotes about you not doing so.
The NFL does just fine in Canada without having a team. MLB does just fine without outside of Toronto
It's not like the Flames don't get any benefit from TV viewers. Pretty sure Rogers pays the NHL a pretty penny for us to get this free lunch (TV dinner?) from the Flames!
The same arguments get trotted out by both sides over and over. Don't act like you aren't contributing to this clusterf#^$
