Emotions always run high on election night but Sean Kelso, the director of communications for the Calgary Flames, should perhaps have known better. The post was swiftly deleted, but it’s hard to avoid the impression that the folks who run our resident hockey team are a touch upset by Naheed Nenshi’s win. To move, the Flames would need the approval of 24 other team owners, most of whom would ask for some kind of, um, financial incentive for the nod. “Any team that would want to leave Calgary is going to be asked where they are going to go. They’d be talking about selling the franchise.”So, just to keep score: Calgary re-elected its mayor, despite his indifference to the pitiable plight of its wealthy hockey owners.
