FlamesNation Radio Episode 11: the arena deal episode

This past week, the Calgary Flames arena deal hit the ditch somewhat with some very public disagreements between the city’s mayor and the hockey club on costs. This week, host Ryan Pike and co-host Shane Stevenson break down the whole situation and try to figure out where things go from here.
All this, plus some discussion of what has been one of the weirdest fortnights in franchise history.
