Yeah for the Habs , I don't too often say that, but do anytime they are playing the Leafs .
So here is the dilemma that I had to work out. Unfortunately with mixed feelings.
I originally was a Vancouver Canucks fan way back when they were the only western team. Then came along the Oilers, but just couldn't cheer for Edmonton (guess where I grew up?). So along comes Calgary in 1980 I believe. It wasn't hard to take my dedication over to the Flames, but every year if Calgary didn't do well, I was pulling for the Canucks as a back up. Had mixed feelings when they played each others.
Well then in 1984 I got a job working at the Dome for the Flames. I kept that job until I relocated 20 years later. I have ate, drank, breathed, or basically existed as a Flames fan.
Two years ago, Calgary made their first major mistake.....they hired Mike Keenan as head coach. I just don't like the guy. Still, I cheered for my Flames.
With Keenan as head coach I said if one acquisition was made, the Flames would lose my loyalty until the player in question is gone. In the recent off season, Mike got his way and got his buddy back. I respect the flaming C, but I cannot cheer for a team that has this player on the team. It is a disgrace that he is even in the league.
So I decided the only thing I could do was to cheer for my former team due to the fact I needed to keep my word about Keenan's decision. It is hard to say that I don't have feelings for the Flames, but I just can't cheer for them :wacko: right now.
Well, with the way the Canucks are nipping at the Flames after 2 periods, maybe I picked the right team after all . My new team might end up 2 and 0 so far this year, and my former team may be 0 and 2 .
Let's leave out the fact that the first two games were a home and home series.
Now does that make me a traitor?
