Calgary has traditionally been a more laid-back city than Montreal... or of course Van...

I agree with EldrickOnIce, the two of you must have lived in strange neighbourhoods. There were fights between Flames and Oilers kids and that went on into the early 90s. Heck during the cup finals in 86 and 89 Flames and Habs fans had skirmishes. My family moved from Alberta to BC in 1993. Then 1994 came along and at school I ended up in shoving matches because I was the enemy wearing my Flames jacket during the Canucks-Flames playoffs. The same thing happened in 1989 at various schools and again in 2004. When the Sonics were in Seattle, there were the same problems when the Sonics and Trailblazers played in the regular season. I recall similar problems during the Sonics-Bulls finals in 1996. Wouldn't want to be going to school wearing a 49ers jersey in Seattle or vice versa. Dodgers-Giants, Yankees-Red Sox, you get the picture.
