Nobody's talking about raising banners.
But the notion that the Flames' franchise has been just as bad as Arizona's over the last 20 years is simply nuts.
In the cap era (19 years and counting), the Coyotes have made the playoffs four times. They've been through bankruptcy, lost one ownership group after another, lost two arena leases, tried and failed to find a site for an arena of their own. They were taken over by the league because nobody wanted to own them. They've consistently lost tens of millions of dollars per year, and are now in immediate danger of having to relocate.
This is what you're comparing the Flames to? Seriously?
