For some of us younger fans Blasty is associated with winning. I associate Blasty with the rise of Jarome Iginla, the first real superstar to play for the Flames in my life. I associate Blasty with the 2004 team, the first and only time I’ve ever seen them in the finals. I associate Blasty with the 2006 team, the first and only team to win a division title (when I wasn’t a baby) in my lifetime until 2019.
I understand why older fans might not be fans but lots of us have good memories of the jersey.
