Well the NHL awarded Rogers the big TV deal despite fully knowing that Rogers put on an inferior product. Apparently Bettman had an adversarial relationship with George Cope (Bell) to the point where TSN didn't even get a chance to match or up Rogers offer. TSN (Bell) also got shut out of the World Cup Hockey broadcasting rights so the NHL is not above sticking it to those that don't play by their rules. It's safe to say Nenshi has an adversarial relationship with Bettman and the Flames and I certainly believe they could stick it to Nenshi and city council. Do I think it will happen? No. Do I think it can happen? Yes.
