Are the Flames ownership the best in pro sports? Probably not. But they are far from the worst. And just because they don't go down the road of a rebuild you want doesn't mean they're terrible owners. I guess it's easy to hide behind a keyboard and #### on people you don't know but you don't mock people so there's that.

And while that well may be true on a current financial basis, the value of the franchise itself has increased FAR more than the current cash drain. By probably five to ten times.
I'm not about to feel sorry for any of the poor owners who've had to shell out a couple of million while their franchise has increase by $100-200 million or more.
That is reality.
