Calgarians pride themselves on being savvy business people. They know Ken King is trying to line his pockets with public money. It's why Nenshi can (and should!) confidently tell the Flames to stuff it. |
Since when did Ken King become an owner?
If Quebec City offered the Flames a good deal they would move this summer. I can see a lot of teams in the east being in favor of such a move to cut down on travel time on western road trips. Nenshi would be stupid to tell the Flames to stuff it. The Flames have options, Calgary doesn't. If the Flames leave the NHL will not come back here not matter what people think. Reminds me of oil--most thought we had the U.S. by the balls forever but look at how that turned out.
