Re: 2007 NHL awards/draft/off-season/training camp/preseason running thread

I think most of the bitching was based around how it messed with the NHL schedule and condensed everything making for some brutal stretches of games. I remember it was an issue to somedegree with the CBA and I actually will be somewhat surprised if the NHLers are still part of the Olys post-2010.

Flames not moving out of Saddledome any time soon ...

Ken King understands the excitement.

As president and CEO of the Calgary Flames, he can relate to the anticipation fans feel about a new home for the team.

Think of moving into a new house: Everything is so shiny, clean and -- in the case of hockey arenas being built in the last few years -- state-of-the-art and top-of-the-line.

Still, King has a warning for those who are starting to count the days: Don't get too anxious just yet.

"It's important to remember we're not building a new building today," King said. "We're not building a new building tomorrow. We're planning for the future."

When that future is -- you know the Flames won't call the Saddledome home for another 25 years -- isn't set in stone. But that's not to say there are no clues.

King has said in the past, plans for a new arena are five to eight years away.

Another inkling is the fact the lease is up in 2014.

Haven't heard a peep about him since the development camp.

I would have added NSFW when I posted the link if it was required.
