With all the new Calgary connections on the Vancouver Canucks one wonders if perhaps it will suddenly be a tiny bit harder for Flames fans to despise their fiercest rivals.
“I hated them after the first exhibition game,” laughed former Flames winger Brandon Prust hours before his first official game as a member of the Canucks.
“It’s not hard. It’s been a long time since I was (with the Flames). You know it’s going to get ramped up. I wasn’t here last year but I know the boys are hungry for some revenge.”
Okay, so maybe not.
