First off, I would just like to say I'm a big Flames fan. I lived in Calgary for almost 2 years, and I love the city and it's people. I wore a Jets cap I bought at a sports store, and on occasion the good citizens of Cowtown would stop me, and say "awesome Cap" or "I miss the Jets, they reallty deserve a team back!" I even would run into transplanted Winnipeggers, and they would chat me up about our native city.
Calgary is a first class city, and perhaps the finest city in Canada. Having said this, I cannot in words, describe my disappointment in some members of Calgarypuck. The majority of people posting here are good people, but unfortunately there is a small minority that seem to take great pleasure in trying everything in their power to mock the believers. It's sad, really. People have hopes and dreams, and that is what makes people interesting.
It's a shame a few of the CP posters seem to take pride in crapping all over the idea of the Return of NHL hockey to Winnipeg. It makes one wonder what kind of people they are in real life if they crap all over someone's dream. They must lead fairly sad lives.
I don't really understand how the idea of a return of NHL hockey to a similiar sizes (slightly smaller) NHL city offends a few CP members so greatly. I've even heard a number of cracks about the city of Winnipeg. Luckily I have a sense of humor, and dismiss it.
I sure hope and pray the Jets return in the next decade. However if that fails to happen, then I'll cheer for the Flames. It' as simple as that. So for all the haters (HOOT, Resolute14, valo403,the2bears, Locke, J pold, etc.), I'm sorry the return of NHL in Canadian cities bothers you so much. So until the Jets return, I have one thing to say:
GO FLAMES GO!!!
