Though in reality, that goes both ways. There is a dislike of both cities for some reason by all parties. Although in my case, although i live in Calgary, I cheer for the Flames for no other reason than I have since I was a kid. It has nothing to do with the fact the Flames are in Calgary. So I dont dislike Vancouver as a city at all. I just don't like the Canucks, as they are a Flames rival.
If the Flames were to move cities, I would still cheer for them, no matter what.
Anyways back on topic, Vancouver has done a great job for these games. I was there for a couple days, and the party atmosphere is nothing like I have ever experienced in a long time. Great job indeed.
