Jut because I don't gargle the balls of someone/something doesn't mean I don't like or appreciate them. Calgary is one of the best cities in the world IMO. Doesn't mean they can support or deserve an NHYL franchise. Love Darryl Sutter too, but don't think he's the right coach for this team. Sam Bennett? Yup, I'll give you that. Not a fan. Think he's a no skilled bum, which he's pretty much proven with his useless production. Glad he's gone and won't lose a second of sleep over his departure. But thank you for trying to put words in my mouth.



Thank your for the correction, because it does matter. 4th most economically powerful in Canada is like 40-45th in the United States and Canada combined. Keep that in mind, because it does matter, especially for a league trying to earn NFL level broadcast rights. Canadian teams are a detriment to getting broadcast rights, not a benefit, and when the vast majority of teams are US based, Calgary is measured accordingly.

You are comparing being the third (or 4th) string team in Phoenix with being the number 1 team in Calgary. It might be closer than you think.
