Flames fan here but live in Yukon. I'll be retired before they make the playoffs.

It looks like they're finally doing the right thing and starting a rebuild. They did an AWFUL job of managing their assets over the last 4-5 years though.

Still, I hate them and am happy to watch them lose .

Fair enough. I hate the Canucks and think them a group of primadonna choke artists. Iginla got placed into a franchise position in cow town and was never a franchise player. Implosion once the expiry date became reality.

Agreed

I also hate the Canucks, though I mostly do so because of their fans. I actually like a lot of the players.

Iginla was elite in his day, but he never had players around him to complement his skill set. Craig fucking Conroy is the best centre he ever played with. Put him with someone elite and he would have put up even more impressive numbers. I was a Canucks fan when he was in his prime and he and Kipprusoff were both very frightening to go up against because either one could take over a game.

I've gone back to cheering for Detroit when I actually watch hockey. They were my favourite team when I was a kid.

Agreed. He never even had suitable grinders like in the Lanny days going up against Wayne and crew. Now that was hockey rivalry.

Also agree on the shifting foundations. I find myself also going back to my roots and the Bruins.
