Thank you Carolina.

I go right back to the original days, I have cheered for the Flames since day 1. I have never really associated with people from Edmonton, so it have never been rubbed in my face. But no matter how you slice it and dice it, the Oilers never didn't deserve a cup they won, and they never cheated and dived their way to a cup. They were just the best hockey team ever assembled for the better part of a decade. They could have laced up that dynasty team, against the rest of the NHL in an All-Star game, and they probably would have still won. I can't besmirch them for that.
Yet somehow, Canuck fans, are cockier and more arrogant than a team like the Oilers that has won everything. It is mind bottling.
