One goal game, team had worked hard and played a good game, that was the time to get behind your own team...not to cheer for the other team to tie the game.

Sorry, and not to single you out, but it's time for some fans to get off their high horse.
Fans don't owe this Flames team anything - support has been very strong in the midst of one of the more challenging era's of Flames hockey to date. In an otherwise grim looking season, this Boston game was one that everyone had circled on their calendars. To that point in the game Iggy had done very little, so when there was an opportunity for him to score it's not hard to understand why they were supporting him.
No need to condemn the fans who paid a good chunk of change to cheer on the most popular Flame of all time IMO.
