Pretty much the same here, I first started watching hockey around 1987 while living in Estevan, Saskatchewan. I fell in love with the Oilers, since then moved around, lived in Edmonton and then Red Deer. Didn’t have an actual hatred for the Flames until I moved to Calgary in 1999.
Calgarians have this unhealthy obsession with the Oilers, It didn’t really come out until after their 2004 cup run. But talk to any Flames fan here in Calgary, they just spend more time obsessing about the Oilers and their failure than cheering their own team. Their Stanley Cup every season is when the Oilers are officially out. They are in my mind, easily the worst Canadian fan base and I’d even put them as the worst in the entire league.
