Even the media is starting to abandon the hype train.
Nobody expects the Oilers to get any better any time soon at this point.
It's sad, but it's true.

Hey I don't expect them to get better. But you just cannot be in this business without pressure.
All joking aside, nobody actually believes Edmonton is fine being this mediocre (being generous), not their fans, not their management, not their ownership, and certainly not their sponsors. The fact that they fail to repair the situation is not the same as not wanting to fix it. If you feel no pressure to fix the situation you're a step further away from fixing it.
