The Oilers are a huge part of the Edmonton identity. Jerseys, hats, shirts are still out in the summertime, all year round, not so for the Flames in Calgary. Even as a hardcore fan our hockey team is so far down the list of what I consider to be a Calgarian. The Flames haven't done it but the threat of a move won't have the same impact it did in Edmonton. If King and company every go down that route don't expect a cave in from the day-to-day citizen of Calgary.
