It was almost inconceivable to cheer for a team that made the playoffs consistently, who had a lot of fans and made hockey seem cool.

Felt the same in 86, Flames were a playoff team but in Alberta many were either disinterested in the Flames or cheered on the winner up north. Once Flames got to the cup suddenly all my classmates that never talked Flames or hockey were all screaming Go Flames Go I was rolling my eyes but it was nice to see Oiler fans angry and the Flames get all the attention.
