Unless you live there as a non-Oiler fan, I don't think people truly realize just how arrogant that fanbase can be, for literally no reason. It boggles my mind. 25 year olds talk like the dynasty years just happened and they witnessed them first-hand. Every Oiler fan clings to that history and beats their chest about it still, like it was a recent accomplishment.

Even coming off the 2015 playoff run going into last season, I wasn't nearly as confident/cocky about the Flames chances as the average Oiler fan was about their playoff hopes going into that season. They get amnesia every off-season regarding what happened the year before, every year. Always so supremely confident, I don't get it.
