I guarantee you that there will be wayyyyyy more of those than toward Calgary on several sites combined. Guaranteed. I've been watching. Flames fans think Lowe is an idiot, fine, but I've seen a dozen pages of threads over one day on a Lowe-bashing thread; we think Keenan is an idiot but you may see a post on that every few days. If there was ever a murder on Whyte Avenue, I totally expect to see 10 pages of Edmonton hatred in a few hours. There could be a multiple murder in Calgary and it might not even be a thread on oilerfans.com. Nope, you're wrong.

I disagree. You're just not noticing it up here that way because you're an Oilers fan. Ok maybe it has gotten worse since I left, as I havent lived in Calgary since a month after our '04 playoff run ended. I'd imagine the resurgeance of the Oilers in '06 has led the rivalry to heat up. Fair enough, maybe its closer to the same level now. But I fail to believe its actually
worse in Calgary than it is up here. Plus, you're just refering to the hockey message boards, where of course there's a rivalry. I'm talking about the attitude of the city as a whole. Its not even just sports fans. I hear female DJ's on Sonic bashin Calgary alot even. Haha I have Flames and Stamps stickers on my car and I swear to God people don't let me in when I drive it near as much as they do when Im drivin the girl's car, I definitely notice the difference. It's seriously a battle in my car.
