I'm sure it'll be awesome to watch the Oilers in Edmonton while The Flames are in Houston.
It's a privileged to have a pro sports team in the city, not a right. I see MOST Calgarian's online want nothing to do with contributing in regards to taxes to make it happen, some prefer to see the team leave. WTF???
What the hell is going on up there?? Such a huge piece of pride and a true gift that the team exists there.
I'm awaiting, Coyotes, glendale blah blah blah.. I personally see the Coyotes gone barring a miracle so spare me.
I really don't understand it. So what if The Flames owners want a Katz deal? Guess what? HE GOT IT! and people in Edmonton seem pretty happy about it

I'm stick of seeing billionaires hold city after city hostage with their sports teams, threatening to move if they don't get millions of dollars of free money for a new building that they will profit from. The Flames ownership and NHL itself have been extra disgusting with Calgary, going as far as trying to influence an election
If the Flames relocate I won't give a damn at this point, my interest in the NHL is at an all-time low. And even if I was still invested, it wouldn't make a difference where the Flames play to me. I can't afford to go to games anyways because it's so damn expensive, and would be even moreso in a new building
I hope Nenshi and the council sticks to thier guns and don't offer a penny more than they already have
