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.

Ah, the “no true Scotsman” logical fallacy. I didn’t think I’d see you this early in the season, but here you are.
Cripes. Some of us maybe used to be that way but have changed our mind after learning about the life destroying effects of head trauma. You know, using scientific evidence to inform our position rather than outdated emotional bravado. It’s not 1985 anymore. Time for hockey and its fans to learn a new way.
