A hopefully 'fun' thread to pick some hypocritical things I notice from Flames fans.
Flames fans are the worst... They complain about how expensive hockey games are. Calgary has the cheapest tickets available in the NHL. Bleeds cost almost nothing, and even cheaper or free if you look on CP. Flames fans also complain about how expensive concessions are... Again, Calgary has some of the cheapest stadium beer in the NHL. For food, again, discount vouchers are available on CP. Calgary also has a higher median income than a lot of other NHL cities.
Flames fans are the worst... They complain about how there are way too gambling ads on TV. Calgary (and generally Alberta) loves loves loves pouring their money into 50/50s. A Seattle 50/50 might get $20,000 -- Calgary consistently gets to $100,000. Alberta has more casino density than anywhere that isn't Nevada. Calgarians absolutely love gambling.
Flames fans are the worst... They spend 9 years exulting Brad Treliving as a Wizard and the greatest GMs of all time. The wizard does it again! How did he manage to get player X to sign for that cap hit! What a steal of a trade! But, after two (in hindsight) bad deals/signings, he is written off as the worst GM of all time. Completely normal behaviour.

Ya, we're pretty bipolar. But living so close to Edmonton will do that.
Trufuly, I don't really drink that much outside of social events and family gatherings. I definitely don't gamble, ever. I never did support treliving.
I think it’s kind of charming, actually. Calgary Flames fans hating or complaining about literally everything NHL related, including the league, the refs, the other teams, the arena, the concessions, the radio announcers, the tv hosts, the tv channels, the all star game, the olympics, the draft, free agency, the trade deadline, literally any fan who even seems to be slightly too positive, and the team itself (including both players and management) is what makes us unique.
I went to a game not too long ago. Had a great time. Turned on the radio after and the guys were talking about how terrible of a game it was. That’s Calgary, baby!

Have you ever paid attention to what Oiler fans say/do?
Go to any reddit sub for literally any hockey team (or sports team for that matter) and you will find that the behavior on CP is completely normal.
Nothing to see here, move along.
It's true that every team's fans complain about the same on-ice issues, that's for sure.
Seemingly, all teams play down to weaker opponents, are inconsistent, don't give 60 minute efforts, let other teams score early/late, let backup goalies have good nights, let rookies score their first goal, get struggling players off slumps, are eaten alive by elite players, have bad 4th lines that should never be out against anyone at any time, etc.
Calgary Flames fans are the worst...
