Yup, I'm organizing a potluck for all of us to watch the playoffs if we make it.
People really have to stop saying annoying crap like this. There are plenty of Panthers fans, more than some other American fan bases. When the team wins they show up, but when they're losing, they stay away. It forces ownership to put a quality product on the ice in order to make enough money. The Flames ownership group has never had the same impetus from the fans. Take that for what you will.

It's not a little brother syndrome. I mean, the only reason anyone in Calgary (or Edmonton) even cares about Regina is the fact that Rider fans are some of the biggest a-holes in sports.
What it is, is the idiotic narrative about Canada's alleged "Stanley Cup drought", and a backlash against the idea that we, as Canadians, must cheer for any Canadian team to win the Cup for our nation's glory.
So there's two big ways this goes: either one can end up cheering against all Canadian teams because they hate that narrative. Or they end up cheering against all Canadian teams because they buy the narrative, but desperately want Calgary to be the team that pulls it off.
Most, I suspect, don't care one way or another. We just hate Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto and are generally indifferent to Montreal, Winnipeg and Ottawa.
The other side of this is that you also just know that whatever Canadian Team wins it, their fans are just going to be absolutely insufferable.
Toronto? We're still hearing about 1967, could you imagine if they won in the modern era?
Insufferable.
If I have to put up with insufferable fans they'd better at least be Flames fans.

Hell, as far as Toronto goes, we're still hearing about a missed high sticking call from 1993...

Like usual I'll pick an eastern team and a team from the central division to follow. My picks have always been Boston, Nashville and St Louis. Probably will follow Boston the most this year

When the team wins they show up...so bandwagon fans? Last time I was down you could exchange a losing lottery ticket for a Panthers ticket lol.
Flames ownership spends to the cap every year...they do what they can to put a quality product on the ice. Pretty silly comment honestly...
Amount of people cheering for the Knights surprises me.
They are a division rival for one. But more importantly, they are an expansion team. That fanbase needs to understand pain and disappointment. They haven't earned a cup yet.
