Flames and Oilers fans are polar opposites. Flames fans are almost overly critical of their team and overreact to losses.
Oilers fans buy their managements hype each year despite being the laughingstock of the NHL.
Neither option is great but one is definitely better than the other.

The Flames team is at opposite ends of the spectrum at the current time but in relatively similar positions that said look at the hype that surrounded Baertschi (who will turn out of to be a very good player) leading up to this season, where people were expecting to slot him into a top 6 role on the team in which he would contend for the calder after putting up 30+ points, helping push the Flames into playoff contention.
People love to overhype the unknown just look at Kari Ramo is the best goaltender out of the NHL, before it was Henrik Karlson. In the Oilers case the fans hype the unknown aspect of youth.
