Chicks love his personality, silly. Duh.

But seriously, good point about Calgary, as the old Dome is in need of a replacement. I’m guessing Katz will get his money in some form or another, and once the hubbub has died down in a few years, the Flames will get a similar deal.

I’d hate to see either team leave, as Canada needs MORE teams, not less. But I also really hate the game of chess owners and politicians play with one another. And with that said, downtown Edmonton needs a shot in the arm more than Calgary does.

Man, I hate these stadium shenanigans even though I love urban development and architecture.

The flames will be watching the province closely if they throw the oilers any money. What they do for 1 they will have to do for the other and I’m not sure the province wants to dole out $200 million for 2 new stadiums

“Granted, that limit wasn’t technically exceeded as the total contribution was split into smaller donations from Katz’s family members and employees.”

The Charbonneau commission has equated that to corruption and revealed that this is the standard operating procedure of the mafia.

The NHL and their lawyers Heenan Blaikie are nothing more than mobsters.

Just who is this supposed to be surprising to? This is how politics work.
