I know I am right. I'm a die hard Flames fan, and have been since the early 80's. Our fanbase took a generation shift between our years of being horrible in the late 90's until our Cinderella ride to the cup finals in '04.
At that time, our Flames gained alot of young fans who claimed they were fans all along because they went out and bought a red jersey during that run. And there's nothing wrong with that - every team needs new fans, but ours came in a large abundance!
Most of us, including myself, boo'd Bertuzzi like crazy and called him a criminal etc.... Yet we had no problem cheering for a guy accused of sexually harrassing an under-age girl. So who is kiddiing who? We cheer for clothing. If Burrows gets traded here (he won't, but hypethetically) we would all love him on our side. Call him cheap, dirty, diver, whatever - he's an effective hockey.
I just find the hate for the Canucks seriously laughable. Yes they are our biggest rivals, but the Flames goggles that alot of you wear either shows a lack of humour (cause not much has been all that funny) or a lack of intelligence. I hope it's the former.
Anyways, 1-0 good guys after 1.
