I understand that it's just a regular season game, but I love hockey so damn much, and regardless the scenario of importance, I always have the 'jump' for a goal because it's just a reflex for me.

I watch every Flames game from here in AZ and obviously after every goal in the regular season, regardless of any team, it will have some flashes of the crowd celebrating. Seriously, from camera point of view, majority of Flames fans just sit there like they're too lazy to get up to celebrate.

Monahan scored a beautiful goal off of something he beautifully created with a great around the back pass and all I see are people just clapping and sitting in their seats.

I haven't been in Calgary since the 2004 playoffs when we had the run, but it seems so weird to see people not excited about goals anymore at the Saddledome.

I'm sorry to offend anyone, but I truly felt compelled to make a thread about it. Why aren't we as excited for goals as Jets, Canadians, Oilers, and kill me for saying this, Canucks fans?
