I've hated almost everything the Flames ownership has done outside the team management for the past.....I dunno....decade...?
But insurance companies suck, and are the bane of almost everything that is wrong with society today (along with Lawyers).
I kinda hope this lawsuit makes both sides look bad.

I assume these companies will no longer be Flames fans?

Every time I see news involving the Flames and financial related issues, I can't help but think it has something to do with the greedy ownership group.

Nothing short of a sale by the current ownership group will satisfy some around here.

People who's sole focus would be greed, don't invest their money in small market Canadian NHL clubs......because they are crappy investments. The Calgary Flames are a drain on our ownership groups wealth growth potential, they are in it for other reasons.

Losses are losses whether covered by the business owner or insurance.
As you point, the one fundamental truth is the end consumer will always end up paying.

Well yeah... Murray Edwards can go #### himself. But Insurance companies are even worse so I hope they collect. The owners are merely the lesser evil here.

Insurance is organized fraud.
They sell “peace of mind” until they try to weasel out on a technicality.

After the 2013 Flood I imagine the Flames had more than enough insurance for everything.

Not sure I'd go that far but I will say that it's really screwed up that a industry exist whose whole business model is predicated on not delivering the service they sell.

Flames lose this lawsuit and ticket prices go up to recoup losses.
Flames win this lawsuit and insurance companies raise premiums for the rest of their customers to recoup losses.
Sounds like as consumers we’re gonna get ####ed no matter what happens. BOHICA.

I posted a question about lawyering on this site and received multiple response and follow ups.
Not all Lawyer's are Scrum.

Youre neither forced to by insurance nor tickets.

Odds are good a new arena won't be sponsored by an Insurance company now.

'Insurance' isn't a company. Just because one company has a large insurance policy with the Flames has almost zero impact on the overall industry.
It isn't like when a natural disaster strikes and impacts every insurance company
Why would you see premiums go up at all...And if so go to any other insurer
