It's already happening, though in a far more subdued fashion.
The Hockey News has simply, and quietly, stopped covering the Oilers entirely. There used to be about three cover stories and two "have patience Oilers fans" stories a year. However, since their silly "the AHL might as well just cancel the season and hand Oklahoma City the title" cover/lead story at the outset of the lockout, nothing but flies.
Sportsnet is going to ride that pony forever, especially since they own the rights to Oilers games. TSN doesn't acknowledge mistakes, so I'm betting their response will mostly be to say nothing about it.
