And the fact that he keeps using Edmonton as an example is so irritating. I'm not even going to make a bad joke about Edmontonians being stupid, because they're not, and it's not the point, but when they made that deal, they got money from the province as well as the city, and the world was a different place. The Flames could have caught that wave, but they stood still and waited for a better one, but that did not come. And now the Flames are pretty much blaming it on Calgarians.
The new arena has been a topic since the Flames went to the SCF in 2004. They finally "presented" their "knock your socks off" idea in 2014. But now it's our fault that we play in the oldest building in the league. Yeah.
