The way I see it is the Flames represent the City of Calgary in the NHL. As Calgarians I don't see an issue using "we" when talking about our team. For that matter I also have no problem when someone who is not from Calgary wants to use that if they are emotionally invested in the team. I spend 90% of my time on the internet on this forum, following the Flames is my winter hobby I spend a lot of my disposable income on going to the games. The Flames make their money from hardcore fans like those on this forum and If those fans want to refer to the teams as we then I am sure Ken King, Burke and friends would be all for it
