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 sure that there a lot of single working mothers/fathers and struggling families that have more important needs than their starbucks and flashy new arenas. I'm willing to pay extra for it, but I can completely understand why others would not.
