Some of us were around during the original 6 era. Pretty hard to break those childhood allegiances. Then move around, in my case to 3 different cities with NHL franchises, during your lifetime and its not hard to develop a soft spot for the locals over time.
I've always been a Hawks fan #1 and watching them hoist 3 cups in 6 years was awesome. Some teams won't win that many in their entire existence, ahem, but having lived in Wpg, Cowgary, and Edmonton I still cheer for 2 of those 3. Calgary is a big never simply because of their fans. They're like Toronto and Montreal fans for me minus the winning part.
