And if you're so concerned about the media fawning over the Oilers, then knocking them out of the playoffs will be that much more satisfying. You don't think the media fawned over Gretzky in his prime? That's one of the things that made beating them so much fun.
Honestly, not even knocking them out of the playoffs will be worth putting up with it in the first place. And yes, they fawned over Gretzky. While I am not sure what point you think you are making by bringing him up, it was god damned annoying. So too is the fawning over Crosby. I don't like it, I don't find it entertaining, and I don't want to put up with it.
