Flames vs. Canucks: Nenshi looks for mayors' NHL playoff bet ideas
What does Calgary want from Vancouver, Nenshi asks on Twitter
Mayor Naheed Nenshi is asking Calgarians to help him and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson work out the perfect playoff wager.
Help me and <a href="https://twitter.com/MayorGregor">@MayorGregor</a> out with the terms of our playoff bet. Since <a href="https://twitter.com/NHLFlames">@NHLFlames</a> will win, what do I want from Vancouver?
—@nenshiThis isn't the first time Nenshi has initiated a friendly bet between mayors:
- Nenshi makes Grey Cup 2014 bet in support of food banks
- CFL Battle of Alberta sees mayors place friendly bets for charity
- Rob Ford accepts Naheed Nenshi's Grey Cup wager: Loser donates his weight in food to charity
<a href="https://twitter.com/nenshi">@nenshi</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MayorGregor">@MayorGregor</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NHLFlames">@NHLFlames</a> how about the loser sends lunch to the winner. (fresh seafood vs Alberta beef) :)

—@nenshiWith hundreds of suggestions flooding in on Twitter, it could be tough for Nenshi and Robertson to work out the terms of the bet.
<a href="https://twitter.com/CBCScott">@CBCScott</a> if we win <a href="https://twitter.com/MayorGregor">@MayorGregor</a> has to ride a bull the the stampede. If the Canucks win <a href="https://twitter.com/nenshi">@nenshi</a> has to ride a salmon up the coast to N.Van

—@debrawp_debiThe two mayors will have to work out the terms of the bet soon, as the Calgary Flames take on the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the playoffs Wednesday night.
