Winnipeg is a great city with amazing culture, food, music, and arts. It has some of the best architecture in western Canada and a fascinating history. And its my home. So eff off.

Why would you care about the Atlanta part of the Flames? Do you understand how this analogy doesn't work? Like at all?
And why do I care? Because when I took my son to Winnipeg for a playoff game a couple years ago we walked past the Dale Hawerchuck statue and it filled me with pride telling him about at one point, our team had one of the best players on Earth. It's part of our shared cultural history as Winnipeggers.
