The Calgary Flames radio station has become "the Official Voice of the Carolina Hurricanes." Local sports media are urging people to cheer for the 'Canes. Most Flames fans are cheering for the 'Canes and can't understand how anyone that calls themselves a Flames fan could be cheering for the Oil.

Well, I've been a die-hard Flames fan since '86 but I'm cheering for the Oil. The reason is simply that I feel more affiliation to them than any other team besides the Flames. They similarly experienced the awful nineties, seeing the rich teams rob them of Messier, Cujo, Arnott, Weight, Guerin while we were robbed of MacInnis, Gilmour, Nieuwendyk and Fleury, etc. So it's easy for me to hate Toronto; Edmonton - not so much.

Go Oilers!
