The Oiler fans comments are the reason why I want LA and St. Louis to blow by them. That is what that smug fanbase deserves. Their first good season, and they somehow start looking down at other teams and fanbases? Give me a break. I really hope that they miss the playoffs, and if they do make it, I hope it is the Flames that play them so we can wipe that smug smirk off their collective faces and replace it with some humility.
As for Spector - he is a door knob. Everyone - and probably Edmonton fans even - know this.
I can, however, forgive him for his comment. He doesn't realize how the 29 other teams operate. If it was the Oilers sitting back by 9 points at the same time, everyone knows they would have gone belly up and started preparations for their draft party. I mean, not once did that team ever make up ground on anyone in 11 years...
This is why you never feel sympathy for a rival fanbase during their tough times. NEVER.
