We've always had at least a couple home grown stars on the team whether it was MacInnis/Nieuwendyk, Fleury(I know, but he was popular at the time), and then into the Iginla/Giordano/Phaneuf/Brodie years, it was a let down after Iggy left, but we still had Johnny/Giordano and then Tkachuk came along.
When your biggest stars are new guys we handed big contracts to, who were more or less busts their first year, it's tough to have any kind of connection to anything but the jersey.

Big Z is one of the most out spoken players in the league. He's charismatic and a great human. Having him on the Flames is pretty cool. He's not home grown, but if you can't connect with a player like that then maybe it's you?
