I know some posters here are saying that some of the stuff that is said here comparable to what is going on in Chicago but it's not. I find the sports scene in the US is VERY different in terms of emotion and hatred and they do take their sports very very seriously. It's not much different than the political shows where everybody get's into their trenches and its a battle.
A little perspective though is that the Blackhawks have won 3 Cups in 8 years and had a run of some sustained playoff success for almost 10 years. The Flames as an organization haven't had ANY sustained playoff success in almost 30 years and frankly, we are overdue and it needs to happen soon. We are talking about an entire generation of Flames fans who haven't witnessed back to back success of anything meaningful.
You can only live on the memories of Lanny and Theo from 89 and on the amazing run with Iggy and Kipper from 04 for so long.
