It's not, if it's mutual. Leafs fans at the Saddledome act as if they own the f..n' place - obnoxious, rude, in your face repulsive. Calgary hockey fan culture is fairly subdued and reserved in comparison, which results in perceived imbalance of presence at the home arena and disappointment for a home fan. Any Toronto game I've ever attended was like this. Of course, one can say "shame on the Flames fans" for not standing up to the abuse and not supporting their team on par with the Leafs fans; but again, this is more of a cultural difference. I never felt an urge to act like them at the game.
