Also there's always been a good size of Bruins fans around even in this part of the continent and you would see a lot of black and gold jerseys regardless of Iginla. Outside of the Flames and Oilers I would say the next largest contingent of fans when I was growing up was Bruins fans outnumbering Leafs and Habs fans.

couple of points:
in my section there was a few bruins fans, no doubt. I wasn't upset about them cheering on the bruins
what did bother me was how many people in flames jerseys, who were cheering for the flames all game, who were talking about the flames, got so excited when a Jerome iginlaless Boston powerplay was taking over
that's all. maybe they thought he was on the ice, I'm not sure(pl5, row 19, pretty far back), but it was definitely not a bunch of people in bruins onesies and such that were getting hype
