I know it will never happen, but Flame fans need to wake up to the fact that owners are owners for a reason, and they ALL involve themselves sometimes. Not going to try and suggest that ME is a saint, and better than most, but maybe he isn't necessarily the worst, either.

Anyway, Flame away
Not really a personal reason...it was a business reason. He runs an entertainment business and he wanted to keep their 1st so that the Rangers got eyeballs at the venue he also owns for the draft.

So...I'd be ecstatic if ME ran the Flames that way.

Also if they addressed me as a fan the way they do in the first paragraph of that letter, also happy.
