I've been "up here" since November of 2003 and experienced the 2004 playoffs in the bars here. You have Jack S%^t to worry about in my opinion.
For the most part? Even back in 2004, most of the folks I ran in to were backing the Flames in the final...it's the Canadian thing to do!
Hell? I cheered for the "Grease-bags" when they did their own "Cinderella" thing in 2006. Fair is fair.
Don't try this in Van...they seem to have a "different" mindset in this regard.

Up here, people (grudgingly) accept that we have built a far better team out of superior drafting, despite the fact that we have always drafted lower than the Oilers. This is not the work of one man... it started "way back"...but it continues to this day and WE should be respectful of those (some no longer with the organization) who had the foresight to make this year what it has now (implausibly- at the onset) grown into.
Be humble; don't rub dirt in anyone's face, encourage the folks you meet to get on board the big Red Ship of Dreams.
It's that simple.
