I was a STH from 1980 until the mid 90's. Hockey back then was so much fun to watch. You had the Oilers and all those great Battle's of Alberta or the battles with the Jets. Add to that the price of a ticket was a heck of a lot cheaper than it is today.
My passion for the Flames is still there but it's not on the same level as it was in the 80's. Less teams in the league and more games against your hated rivals made the game much more enjoyable to watch back then. Now the league is diluted with too many teams and too many games that lack the passion I witnessed back in the 80's.
