Does this mean the ice is freezing and it's getting near HOCKEY season again.

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Nice revival!

I ALMOST bought a Flames Jersey while in Calgary! Note: I said ALLMOST!

 

You should have, Mom... by the time they get a new CBA, the Flames (along with 5 or 6 other teams) will have all folded, and the Flames Jersey will be a highly prized collectors item.

 

DAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELP ! GO GET ME ONE!

 

Like Lemmings off a cliff....the league is killing itself

 

Not sure if there are any left. During the Flames height of popularity, those shirts were going for over a hundred bucks a pop. Heck, if some schmuck can sell hundreds of thousands of 4 buck car window Flames flags for 15 bucks each .................
As for folding anytime soon, the combination of getting to the Cup finals and all that OIL MONEY around here, seasons ticket sales will be sewn up for years to come. Calgarians are kinda like gambling addicts in Vegas. Give them a glimpse of the big prize and you've got 'em hooked for a few more goes. Fold? Naw! The big corporations will continue to buy up seats and give them away to strangers when the Flames aren't doing so good and TV rights will be worth millions for years to come (just in case they can do it again).

 

Not if they're not playing!

 

Tv rights worth millions ...have you seen their deal compared to the other major sports....this is half of the problem......
