Well, maybe it's not unexplainable:
1.) I hate the Sharks.
2.) I really, really, really hate the Oilers (Stars/Oilers playoff series have always been rough).
3.) Our local minor league team is a Flames affiliate.
4.) I hate the Sharks.
5.) I really, really, really hate the Oilers.
So, go ahead and win this one, Calgary.

There is also that Iginla was traded for Nieuwendyk. Of course Iginla would have been fantastic for the Stars, but Joe did help win the Cup. Seems like a win-win deal.
I have the same preference for Calgary over San Jose, just like Nashville over Detroit and Minnesota over Colorado. But sympathetic feelings like that go straight out the door if the teams beats Dallas in a series. I do not want to dislike teams, so they should not beat the Stars.
