I grew up in a non NHL city but as of this summer will have spent half my life in Calgary. It is home. It will be home for the foreseeable future. My observation with a bit of an outside looking in perspective is Calgary seems to have a little brother, almost small man complex. I’ve never really understood this mentality.
As a city we’re pretty superior to any in the prairies. Going to university everyone wanted a co-op job in Calgary. Those who didn’t were envious of those who did. The industry, the vibe, the climate, the mountains are right there. We’ve got nearly everything. We’re missing a legacy of Stanley cups is all it seems. I wouldn’t trade everything Calgary has for a few more nearly 40 year old banners. Let greaserville flaunt their superior luck and their 3 generation old success. We should be sitting back content in the knowledge we have everything else.
