I remember that run. First year out of high school. Electric Avenue wasn't yet a scene (basically just the Keg) and sports pubs weren't a thing either. Hotels had the big bars back then, so that's where you went with friends to watch the game. Bought my first flames jersey, a white home jersey, at Woolco for (I think) 20 bucks.

Of course, it was virtually impossible to get single game tickets, what with them playing in the Corral.

Flames fans were pretty lucky to get a half-decent group instead of an expansion team that would takes years to gain respectability.

Now I sound like Grandpa Simpson. No onions on our belts, though.
