My name is a good luck charm for the Flames. It commemorates the red underwear I wore for every game during the 1989 playoffs.
The underwear is long gone, unfortunately.
Anyhow, during the San Jose series this year the Flames lost 2 in a row to a team coached by Tim Hunter (see below) so I felt I, and the Flames, needed a change for good luck.
I chose the French version of the word red as an offering to the hockey gods who had seen fit to punish us for being the only team to ever win the Cup in Frenchland (Montreal). As we all know -- the Flames immediately turned it around and trounced San Jose.
Sadly, I think the French aspect of my handle gave some strength to the French aspect of the Tampa Bay Lightning and they were able to take out the Flames in the end.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened had I changed my name to RedGinch after Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.
