I partially agree on your point about success but it's all about scope. "Success" for the Oilers is making it to Christmas without being so far out of the playoffs that it's hopeless and we couldn't even make it to Halloween. And then MacT and Lowe will sell the fans on the pointless late season winning streak as hope for next year, barely do anything to the roster and then oops! Auston Mathews come on down!
Being an Oilers fan is bad enough but seeing every other team succeed in a fraction of the time makes it unbearable, no matter how much of an illusion it might be. |
never heard futility summed up so succinctly
oilers fans are truly the poets of no good
honestly kaufkaesque
edmonton where hockey has no meaning and further suffering is abject, certain, and for-seeably unending.
this fan base is tapped out and broken. so, so, very great.
