It would be nice if the very vocal minority can stop assuming that what they like is what the majority of Flames fans like. Calgarians are a tough breed and like their hockey tough, the hockey teams take on the persona of the City they represent. True Albertans like Darryl Sutter understand this and built teams tough and his teams were arguably the most popular in franchise history.
True Albertans?
