Plus that era had genuine fans. Anyone that was paying to see that product, truly cared. It wasn't the duckface / self portrait / with the ice in the background place to be seen.

I actually have some really fond memories of that era, because the team was such a rag tag, cobbled together, piece of crap... especially in the late 90's. Kinda like a beat up old car you didn't have the heart to get rid of.
It was an awesome/or ####ty time for Flames fans. They hit rock bottom after the cup win and tried to recoup for so many years.

I miss the old hot stove lounge. $4 pitchers. It was just a different time for fans, but the casual bandwagoner decided to abandon ship.

Tough economic times in the 90's, but hey, Calgarians helped keep the oilers in edmonton.........

Damn i miss the old school dome beers.
