I can appreciate other teams after living in cities for a while, but it takes something significant to actually trigger fandom.

(e.g. if you lived in Dallas, would you be a Stars fan? If you leave Miami, will you remain a Panthers fan?)
Oh, 100% about geography. Plus, I've just always felt that they needed a bit more support (as you can tell from the number of fans in the stands), so I just decided to be a fan. There have been a few good moments along the way, but mostly, they're just tough to be fond of. They do so much to shoot themselves in the foot (expansion draft comes to mind, randomly firing Gallant, poor trades etc.).

In general, I've become a massive, massive Barkov and Huberdeau fan, so I'd probably support the team just for those two.

To be clear, they are far and away my second favorite team behind the Flames.

Lol, the 10 day forecast has partly cloudy skies and a daily high between 75 (24 C) and 86 (30 C) degrees. I may hit the driving range this week, but at the very least I'll go for a few bike rides.

*checks Calgary forecast*

Oh...oh sorry.
