Yeah, I was surprised at how coldly I was treated in Victoria while wearing Flames gear. It's not Vancouver, you think they wouldn't be completely surprised to see other teams being represented. I know residents that hate the Canucks, and choose to cheer for the Habs instead.
Yet funny enough when I was living in Lethbridge for a while, I noticed there was an overwhelming number of Oiler fans to Flames fans. A couple bars there came across as pro-Oilers and some fans went as far as to rip the Flames flags off my friend's car. But really, it isn't Calgary, despite being geographically much closer to city one than the other, you can't really call it Flames territory.
