I don't take it for granted at all. I was his age when the Flames won the cup, and it's been that long since a team I've actively been a fan of has been able to win it.
This is rare, this is special, this is why we all love sports.

Our experience was similar... but also different. My son is 10. We both were on the couch laughing maniacally as the Oilers lost. We didn't really care who beat them (no offense of course, 2nd fav team atm, congrats etc), it was just the pure unadulterated schadenfreude.
Full embrace of the dark side. Pointing and laughing at McDavid's tears, and weakness at not showing up for the trophy he didn't deserve.
My Lady told us we were being sore winners. I yelled something about Boston Pizza and got "the look", and the kid got sent to bed early, but we still high fived on the way out.
It was rare, it was special, it was why we hate the g-d damn Oilers!
Oilers SUCK!
