That organization (the Oilers) has been so bad, for so long, I think their biggest rival is their own fans.

I still hate them but its not the kind of hate I had for the Canucks during the Iginla era of the Flames. I HATED that Canucks team. I HATED the Canucks team that went to the finals. That hatred has dissipated a tad with the changes the Canucks they've seen the last year or two, but its still there. But this was a hatred bred from competition, playoff battles, regular season battles, division battles.

The Oilers are just more pathetic than anything. They are that kid you just hold one arm out and keep him at a distance while he tries throwing punches at you. They aren't even on life support anymore, they are a dead organization, there is almost nothing worthy of NHL news going on in that city. Just a pile of garbage up north you wish someone would one day clean up.
