They Oilers have been so bad for so long that at this point making fun of them is like giving a guy a shot to the crotch and kicking him when he's down...
I don't even bother talking to my mom/sister/best friend who are all Oiler fans anymore. They don't get mad, they've just accepted it and don't care anymore. Until both teams are competitive, it just won't be a good rivalry.
I do still enjoy watching the circus up north though, so if Edmonton is terrible for the next 20 years I don't think I'd lose any sleep. Anything that keeps their fans quiet is a good thing.
