Anecdotally, I'm shocked at how many in Calgary are cheering for or okay with the Oilers winning the Cup. Lots of people that I've gone to Flames games with as fans.

In 04 I would say 75% of Oilers fans wanted a flames cup. Only they old hard-core guys from the 80s were cheering for Tampa. Way easier to cheer for the rag-tag underdog flames than the whiny lottery snobs though.
