Pretty well so far, I'd say.

I’d even add arena talks progressing quietly behind the scenes to the list. Heck even our frustration with the previous coaching staff seemed to be heeded and they delivered on replacements!
It was roughly two years ago while working that I listened to an arrogant Ken King wax condescendingly about the stalled arena talks and the not-so-veiled moving the team threat.
So started a personal boycott of Flames’ merchandise or Saddledome games (I was fortunate enough to watch them on their first Vegas/Arizona earlier this season).
But I agree this season has been a remarkable turn around both on and off the ice.
With this latest news I’m just so pumped that the boycott is officially over. Tomorrow I’m going out and buying a new retro jersey for my niece! Her “Go Flames Go” is coming along nicely.
