The Oilers don't need to win. Pro hockey is a business and business is booming in Edmonton. Until the consumer stops buying tickets and merchandice for this team nothing will change. All Lowe has to do is point to the bottom line. From a personal point of view, I don't think I have ever seen the Oilers so popular. Fans are more proud and pumped for this organization than they have been in years. Whatever ownership and management are doing is working cause this team is sold out everynight and probably is near the top in the league for merchandice sold. They must put something in the water in Edmonton. Or they have the dumbest fans in professional sports.
