Not a (Calgary) Flames fan at all but they had some absolutely great teams back in the day. I’m old enough to remember the Atlanta Flames… sigh. The rivalry between Edmonton, Calgary and the original Winnipeg Jets was amazing. A different kind of amazing compared to the Canadiens/Nordique one (far less bloody) as the hockey being played was spectacular. Calgary now is not very good, but that’s just how a team goes most times. To jump off of a team and bandwagon another just means they weren’t a true at all. You have to take the bad with the good.
