One correction, not,”maybe Buffalo now” always Buffalo the whole time. We have a very strong and loyal fan base.

True. I should have said that more clearly. It's Calgary "now," but Buffalo has always had a strong fan base. It's slowly changed simply because so many Canadians have relocated there over the years, and they now have a large critical mass of hockey fans who support the team.

Calgary has always been a very corporate town where the fans could never match the intensity of blue-collar Edmonton.

In addition to its loyal fan base, Buffalo also lays claim to having the guy who I honestly believe is the best play-by-play announcer in all of North American sports -- Rick Jeanneret (not to be confused with Rodney Dangerfield, LOL):
