Perhaps it's been the six years without any playoffs, or maybe the years of first round exits prior. Either way, it's beautiful to be witnessing the revival of the C of Red!
Without loyal fans, there is no game. There is no league, there is no celebrating victories, there is no Flames fever gripping the city right now. Any hockey game can be awesome, but it takes the fans in crowd cheering every play to make a game truly memorable.
Flames fans are amongst the most loyal fans in the league, sticking by their team through the years of disappointment and heartbreak.
