Flames win game 3 and being the proud Flames fan I rub it in a little, but his response was this "Honestly I see the Flames winning in 6."
Either Canucks fans are weak or they actually don't belive in the team Desjardan puts out there.
So my theory is that Canucks fans don't have any faith in their team. Some are still optimistic, some are quiet about their lack of faith, and some try to cover the pain with extreme hatred towards the Flames.

Honestly I and many others were the same way after that crushing 2006 game 7 defeat. Flames were so inconsistent with so many holes even when they made the playoffs I had zero confidence in them. The Canucks fall from grace has been much faster and more pronounced, winning only 1 playoff game over the last 3 years
Thankfully the feeling I get from this year's Flames is closer to the 2004 squad than anything that came after
