Calgary has a LOT going for it. In fact, we ranked #5 in the world's most livable cities ranking for 2017. They only rank the top 10,000 cities, so Edmonton unfortunately didn't rank.

Am I doing this right?

The inferiority complex on this forum warms my heart. The Oilers lock up a critical piece of their future for 8 seasons and we're playing the "Calgary is a more livable city" card!?! It's embarrassing really. Do better!

Calgary is guaranteed to be more livable for the next 8 years. It's not guaranteed Leon will be a critical piece each of the next 8 years.

Go read the signing thread and then come back and tell us again why this signing is going to screw the Oilers in the next year or two.

Quite the irony speaking about an inferiority complex while actively trying to defend your team/city on a rival's message board

"We're playing"? You're an Oiler fan, doing some concern trolling.

Flames fan living in Edmonton. Have lived in both cities for 15+ years each. Wife is an Oilers fan. Many of my friends are Oilers fans and will say unequivocally that the narrative on this site is exactly why Oilers fans think we're losers. Take a tour of the Oilers HF thread and you'll notice that 95% of the conversation cebtres around Oilers hockey while the majority of the conversation here centres around the Oilers. Can't we just be proud of our team and city without drawing comparisons to other teams and cities?

The Oilers "around the league" thread hosts their very own GDT every time the Flames step onto the ice

Nothing makes me smile more than a sports team fan posting on the message boards of their most hated rival, in a thread specifically designed to mock their team, on the subject of "inferiority complex".

I still wish we would have left the 10 year thread open. Because they really are that no good.

Yep, that's not true. There may not be a thread, but the ATL thread as well as many others become Calgary centric. There is a thread on the mains that is exclusively oilers fans with the title "flames goalies that bad or overrated D"... Something to that effect. And I've seen plenty of city bashing there too. Plus we could each tell one another a million anecdotes of entitled clueless oiler fans. Doesn't really mean anything.
Also, there are dozens of oiler fans on this site that rush to their team's defence and try to inflame the rivalry. Are they losers? Does that make them a city and fan base of losers? Does your coming onto this site and saying that we are a fan base of losers make you a loser? Maybe. I don't have the answers, but it's fun to speculate.
Have fun living in Edmonton as a flames fan surrounded by oilers fans while refusing to run your mouth when your team gives its rival the sweet sweet chin music over and over again this year. Sounds like a blast!

Oilers fan's awareness when it comes to future sustainability is suspect. When in comes to goal tending for example, Talbot played 7 more games than any other goalie last year, and played 494 more minutes than any other goalie during the regular season. Yet, Oiler fans and media are expecting a similar performance with a similar work load. Talbot may be a good goalie, but he is expected to face more shots than any other goalie in the league. Good might not always be good enough. Over working a goalie is not a sustainable model.

A Flames fan should be able to spell Iggy's first name correctly.

You kidding me. I view hf daily. HFOil is a cult and way worse. Anytime a flames fan posts in the hfoil forum it's an auto ban, or anytime a flames fan offers their opinion against the Oilers on the main forum it gets deleted.
