Flames fans in their collective derision for the Oilers are beginning to sound more and more like Flyers fans vis-a-vis the Penguins. "You guys only got good because of all those top-5 picks and Bettman gifting you Crosby", "You guys only got good because your 4th 1st overall in 6 years is McDavid". At the end of the day, what does it matter if the Oilers didn't deserve McDavid, Draisaitl, et al? Fan chirps and banter are ultimately silly and have no bearing on the results on the ice.
As a Canucks fan who lived in Calgary during 2008-2012, I certainly didn't bother going around thumbing my nose at my neighbours when my team made the playoffs, went farther in the playoffs, contended for a Stanley Cup, won consecutive Presidents tropies, etc. The few other Canucks fans here who possibly did so are classless trolls.
