But I think this is from more of the casual fan. You don't see people in Calgary supporting Edmonton in '06 (or vice versa in '04) at least not to the level you see in other cities around the Country. I don't think you would see Toronto people supporting Montreal if they went on a run (and vice versa).

A south americans I worked with in calgary while vancouver was in the finals said I should support the canadian team... I told them if vancouver wins they'll riot and if they lose it will be worse. He came to work after that game 7 and apologized and said he will never cheer for vancouver again. He was more canadian after that day
