The extra greasy part is that the two rinks are pretty much identical but they were asking $200,000 for Messier naming rights and $125,000 for Murray.

It's like they just decided to hit up Messier for more money because they knew he made more.

The city officials must have backed down because the arenas are still named Messier and Murray.
