Human Torch: Years ago...

I think Sidney Crosby's Hat is right too, he's a Bruins fan first, but I've only ever seen flames and bruins in that comic. It's one of my faves.

I had never been to Canada until recently and never been to Calgary (although going to see a three game homestand in Nov. thanks habernac!!!!) and have been a Flames fan since the late 80's. Probably don't have an allegiance to another team because my dad was in the military so I never lived anywhere for longer than 2-3 years. I think I liked the name and logo when I was a little kid and just stuck with it.

A good cartoon. Just one thing...

...has anyone ever heard that expression before? I haven't. Thought it was pretty funny though.

Which expression, the "like moths to a Flame" one?

I've definitely heard it.

And according to this website, it was mentioned in "The Merchant of Venice"

Yep, that's a really common expression.

LOL, but then I havn't gotten to the Dome as much as I would like, so perhaps there is some truth to it?
