Either way it is kind of silly to call him a perennial loser.
As a Flames owner he is. His team can't get into the top third of the NHL year after year, and he can't get even close to getting an arena done.

Seems like a lot of failure to me. What are his great successes as a Flames owner? I guess when it comes to making money, he's done pretty well - even as a Flames owner.

I guess if money making ability is what made a hockey owner great, then the Leaf and Rangers would be the biggest winners for the past several decades.
