I feel so dirty and slimy - I've been cheering for the Calgary Flames

[HEyHEY]

blech...the dirt's not coming off!

1. What is it with hockey fans hating the Flames?

I really don't understand it:shrug:

[HEyHEY]

5. Hey man, I'm born and raised in Vancouver - I'm supposed to hate ...

all things Calgarian

[bubblesby2002]

2. I know exactly how you feel

me too. It's difficult to reconcile my eternal hatred of the Flames with my joy at a Canadian team still being in the hunt.

I shower after every game and still feel dirty.

[HEyHEY]

even bleach won't get it off

;-)

[frylock]

3. i don't feel to good supporting the sharks either..

at least it ain't the Ducks.

[camero]

4. I'm with you there

I can't see getting into the fighting spirit over ducks.

6. Cheering for the Flames

You may hate them but they sure have put the boots to every team they've played so far. How can you continue to hate a team that has different players and a different coach from the original team you hated.

[HEyHEY]

7. Hey, a new Duer from Calgary!

Welcome to DU you stinkin stampeders lovin' flames worshipping peice of garbage. (Just kidding) Hey, the best thing about sports rivalries is hating for no reason. .... all that's getting me by now is the fact the Flames really do deserve it.


- This ain't Ironflange is it?

10. Do not fear the Dark Side, my son

Together, we can rule the Universe!

BTW, I think tonite's game was the Flames' best of the playoffs, though they still got a little lazy in the second period, as usual.

[HEyHEY]

11. well, it was a nice lift

to see real hope of a canadian team in the playoff final

[ironflange]

9. Your avatar sure is nicer than mine

Welcome, neighbour!

[chenGOD]

12. You think you feel dirty....

I'm from Edmonton. Since Calgary is the last Canuck team left in the playoffs I guess I have to root for them by default. But man, why did it have to be Calgary? I'd take any other Candian team (even Ottawa) gladly...but Calgary.... :(

[HEyHEY]

14. yo - a Canuck I ain'[t met yet?

Yeah, as a Vancouverite..I feel terrible. But truly this team does deserve it.

[drumwolf]

13. well, you SHOULD feel dirty and slimy.

But then again, i'm biased -- I'm a Sharks fan. :evilgrin:

And the Flames are up 2-0 against the Sharks, which is not a good sign from my perspective. :(

15. Hey, I'm the one who has to stand up for his die-hard Red Wings wife.

Now that is a touch job in a city that has gone Flaming. And she won't shut up.
Anyway, I'm supporting the Quebec Nordiques this season. I think they're this year's dark horse.
