Well that's because they're used to the hype machine of the oilers regional broadcast team, and it goes counter to everything they believe in that the Oilers are one step from a Chicago/Montreal Canadians dynasty and every team would easily trade their rosters for the Oilers and throw in the next decade of first round draft picks.
Frankly national coverage injects a realism about the Oilers situation that their fans refuse to believe, yet when they sleep at night in their Oiler footy pajamas while silently stroking their Mark Messier teddy bears on the surface fight the perception that the Oilers are a badly built franchise stocked with a bunch of soft lazy quiters, but deep down they know
The Oilers are a blight on the NHL and no damn good.
