I, too, pulled for the Flames when they were the Atlanta Flames (if we're talking about the same team). Calgary robbed Atlanta of ice hockey, until the Thrashers became the new Atlanta team. I was in attendance when Jim Craig made his professional debut, after winning gold against the Russians. He never made much of an impact as a professional. But, I still remember to this day the chills that ran up my back when he was announced. Everyone in the Omni raised an American Flag and yelled at the top of their lungs. It was the longest standing ovation in the history of Earth.

Sorry for your loss but my association with the Flames is purely Calgarian. My my sister lives there and I get to visit often; occasionally in the Hockey season.
