Flames and Oiler fan dedication

[TalonVelocity]

Ok,

Switch roles for a sec.. The Oilers are in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Flames didnt make the playoffs.. Would Calgary be goin nuts with flags and signs and billboards over the Oilers like Edmonton is over Calgary? I think this is ridiculous, I am an Oiler fan, not an Alberta or Canada fan.. Im hoping for TB, only because I am an Oiler fan, and I CAN'T root for Calgary.. I am very dissappointed in my city right now, but anyway, would Calgary have the same support?

not from me

I Am From Edmonton

I Want calgary to win because they have worked extreemly hard all season to be in this position.They are exciting to watch and Well Coached.I Want calgary to win the cup, i chear when they score, however i won't buy a calgary jersey or flag.If that makes sense.


I think if the oilers were in the same situation, calgarians would support us.

last year, i went out and partied for vancouve..had flags and everything...didnt cheer for edmonton, cause i had 4 dalls players in my hockey pool
but we were mostly (me and my friends), bitter at edmonton cause calgary didnt make playoffs again...so i wouldnt see why you would cheer for us in first round, but i could see in the later parts, such as now, i'd be boosting edmonton sooo much...

I grew up in Edmonton. I live in Calgary now.

I am a hardcore oilers fan. I watched almost every regular season game this year.

Sadly the oilers didnt make the playoffs. It was crazy close though.

You need to get over it man. Calgary is full of great people, the fans are awesome. Calgary is an awesome city and I love it here. You are hating a team for no reason at all.

Iginla is from St. Albert, about what, 10 minutes away from Edmonton? Ryan Smyth is Calgarian. Do you hate him?

This year the flames have proven how dedicated they are to the win. They have been the underdogs in EVERY SINGLE SERIES thus far. And now they are 1 win from the cup. There is no team that has worked as hard as the flames that was in the playoffs.

Why the hell not cheer for them? They are a great team, they are canadian, they are albertan. It's not like you are dismissing the oilers as your favourite team. They just aren't in it right now. Next year I'll still be cheering for the oilers.

Get over it.

I would most certainly go for the Oilers over Tampa. I am Canadian...lol There is no way I'd go for an american team for the cup before a canadian team.

born in calgary, live in edmonton. I want the flames to win even though i am an oilers fan. I would cheer for calgary always, except if its calgary vs. edmonton. other than that, any canadian team that doesnt start with "T" i'll chear for.

[Weapon_R]

Calgarian first, but Canadian second! If the roles were reversed, and it was an American Vs. Canadian Team (yes, even the oilers), you bet i'd be nearly as proud to cheer them on! I drove to Edmonton a few weeks ago and say this sign as I entered the limits:

WELCOME TO EDMONTON
WE ARE STILL THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS
But We Are Cheering For You, Calgary. Go Flames Go!

I thought Edmontonians showed a lot of class with that sign. It made me feel comfortable sporting my Flames flag in Edmonton

[C4S]

I came from Edmonton, and a big oilers fan, and I am not really an flames fan, however, Flames did so well this yr, and I really want them to take the cup, and can show to those american teams, MONEY CANNOT buy the CUP ! and hopefully both oilers and flames will do well next season !

Go Flames Go ! take the Cup back to Alberta !

[Wildcat]

your cheering for tampa bay, just in spite of the flames??? get real buddy.

BOOOOOO THIS MAN!!!

[Moonracer]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! hehe

[Hakkola]

I've always cheered for Edmonton in the Playoffs, especially back in the day when Cujo was playing so well, those were entertaining games.

[403Gemini]

i wouldnt be wavin a flag and gettin shit faced cause of the oilers, but i would cheer for em!

[cman]

i would definatly be cheering for the oilers if they made it to the finals.

[Redlyne_mr2]

I would totally cheer for the Oilers, theyve always been a great team. Alberta is one of the greatest places to live in North America and I think that any team from our province wether it's football, hockey, lacrosse, whatever deserves full support from everyone in the province.I don't want to see Alberta get turned into a fucked up province like Ontario where Toronto people hate Ottawa people and vise versa. I mean seriously banning people from wearing Maple Leaf Jerseys in Ottawa's stadium...wtf is that...nice example those fags in Ontario are making for young kids. stupid loser fucking province. GO FLAMES GO
