I don't think that Schultz is all that great either, but why do we get so butt hurt when someone says the Oilers are awesome?

These guys are paid to produce entertainment, not the evening news. Their opinion is that the"hope" being peddled up north is oh so exciting. So what? Opinion is the flavor of the day in sports journalism, not impartial facts. That's the way it's been for decades, and we probably wouldn't be so upset if it wasn't the Oilers.

I think the Oilers will be out of the basement for years to come, but they won't be great...ever, unless they build a proper team. However, I think the problem here it's us, not them. Should they change their opinions to reflect good on all seven Canadian franchises?
