As a neutral bystander in the BOA I disagree with you BP. Listening to the radio in Edmonton (I live in St.Albert) all you here about is how sick fans are of finishing 8th or lower. I am in Calgary quite a bit through out the year and it seems they have accepted the fact that they will lose in the first round every year no matter what. Both cities have very loyal fans but they are very unique in their own ways. Edmonton fans may be the most negative fans in the league (get over the 80's!)!!!! Flames fans have not yet learned what it can be like to have a consistent playoff threat in their city. When that finally happens Calgary will not know what hit them, it will be fantastic!!!
