TBQH, I watch more Oilers games these days due to the fact that they are very exciting to watch.

Also, seeing as how this team is in a downward spiral, I am surprised the Dome is still packed. I'd much rather watch a young team with good/decent prospects give it their all every night than an old team that just doesn't seem to care much.
The young guns era was caused by more then bad drafting. It was the out of control salary structure and terrible Canadian Dollar that forced this team to pretty much dump anyone who developed.
