As soon as someone begins their post in these words I am prone to believe that they do not in fact hate the Oilers as much as they claim, and certainly hate them much less so than most others in this thread.
Having said that, I don't care about the uncontested awesomeness of the new number-one-reason-to-visit-Edmonton. The fact that the city's new best amenity is a hockey rink is ample reason for enormous servings of ridicule. The fact that the Oilers, their fans and the Edmonton media feel the need to boast incessantly about their recent construction project is hilarious and pitiful.
So what if Roger's Place is good? It doesn't nothing more for that armpit of a city than to exacerbate the truth that Edmonton is no good.
