Interesting contrast. A friend of mine was in Montreal in '89 for the last game of the Stanley Cup. He was wearing his Calgary Flames jersey and a white stetson. When Calgary won the Cup, my friend got nothing but congratulations from the home-town crowd. I'll take civility and good sportsmanship every time.

That said, I was watching the same game with maybe half a dozen other Calgary fans at a bar in Ottawa. It became apparent that the other 200 people in the bar were Canadiens fans. As Calgary's lead grew, there were more and more 'f*ck Calgary' comments thrown our way. We felt it prudent to change venues between the second and third periods. Maybe we should have just gone to Montreal.
