Im just curious as to what the NHL has targeted in Alberta that has you thinking they have been treated poorly.
Well, for that, you have to go back to my other post.
The NHL has a history of overlooking Alberta in favour of American markets.
Again, why haven't we hosted an Allstar game in over 30 years?
Why does the NHL feel the need to separate the Heritage classic game from the winter classic game?
It's because they know marketing Alberta events/teams is less desirable than marketing American teams and cities.
I'll just add one more thing. If the NHL is truly concerned about safety and minimizing Covid-19 exposure, why not play in Winnipeg?
Hey, it's ok for us to disagree on this.
