The problem is this city is full of transplants. We all know the Edmonton dream as a child is to move to Calgary when you grow up. People flock here from Ontario, Manitoba, and BC with their allegiances intact.
Canadian team fanbase are definitely Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton
Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa brining up the rear.
This current flames team is the most unlikablae in the history of the franchise. At least we had Iggy for 16 years and before him many Flames legends. This current team has no homegrown superstars and a bunch of overpaid guys who either turned us down in the past or played in a market where very few followed the team.
