Was just told a great story about the flags by Popowich.
Whenever Ken King would meet a fan wearing a jersey with them on it, he'd hit them in the chest, say "Calgary," and then he'd tap 'em in the shoulders and say "Alberta" and "Canada."
He apparently even once overruled Bettman himself on a phone call about them. Gary called to say, "you can't do this." King responded with, "we're doing this." And they did it.
