I know you guys are/were as hardcore about your teams as I am about mine. Just as long as the Flames have their own farm team, I really don't care if its in QC, Abbotsford or the Moon.

However I realize if I was a hockey fan in those markets where the Flames 'failed' you I'd probably be as bitter and would post pictures of the awesome attendance at the Mallards game too. I just think that calling out Ken King for that comment is like Pat Quinn calling Jarome Iginla dirty. It may not be totally baseless, but when objectively (which I couldn't be perhaps) looked at it isn't as derogatory as ones chosen lens might suggest.
no worries from my end. i spend all my time defending myself as not a red wings troll or as a hateful qc troll.

i think most anyone who is still around here is able to look at things objectively. some people feel calgary was more or less at fault than others, but thats just the realm of a message board.
