yes, exactly this, I have lived in Calgary since 1985, I'm 40, I don't know a single Calgarian who cheers for the oilers, ie people who were born and raised here. If someone cheers for the oilers and lives here, it is likely the immigrated from stinkerville up north.
The only people i know who are born in Calgary that cheer for the oilers at all, are kids who like McDavid, and I don't count kids, they don't know yet that E = NG.
