Plus, there's more Oiler fans than there are Flames fans is this market (provincially).
When the Oilers has one of the most marketable players in the league right now, are a team that makes the playoffs each year, and have the media hype that always expects them to be a cup contender (whether that's valid or not), they're going to get a lot more attention than a team that can't make the playoffs, and has... Who?
Flames can get attention again when they're worth talking about.
