Arrrgh, what's the world coming to. If the Flames are copying the Oil
they should have their heads shaken too.

I've been to Stamp games that were much worse weather than the 'clASSic'
game. But then football IS an outdoor game, hockey has never been an
outdoor game at the professional level. Therefore the game was a cash
grab. Nothing wrong with that per se, I guess they're trying to raise
money anyway they can, but they won't be getting any of my money thank
you very much.
