Alright I'll bite.

You make note of the fact the Flames have been marginally better than the Oilers over the past ten years... Did you forget you guys drafted first overall four out of six years prior to this season? That is seriously the worst run in any professional league I have ever seen. That's worse than the Cleveland Browns. Four first overall draft picks and you guys continue to finish bottom three. But this is the year right?

You mention how you'd rather have your special crop of players up in Edmonton, but fail to mention a single top pairing d-man on your list. What has plagued the Oilers for the past ten seasons more than anything? Anybody who has half a clue about hockey would say your lack of talent on the back end. You don't even mention the guy you just traded your supposed "top 5 LW'er in the game" Hallsy for. And of course you throw in the obligatory "dynasty 2.0 yada yada yada" which again is hilarious in itself as we've been hearing this for the past six or seven years every off season, only to watch you guys crash and burn by Christmas every time.

Don't even pretend it was Gretzky and the "mystique" of Edmonton that lured Lucic into signing with your precious Oilers. It could have been the chance to play with McDavid, I'll give you that, but more than anything I'm pretty sure it was the fact your idiot GM handed a declining asset a $42,000,000 deal over the next seven years. Have fun with that one in a couple of seasons.

Last but certainly not least, nobody on Calgarypuck is going to ban you for being the fan of another team, this isn't HF Oilers.
