I think that a lot of Flames fans that were a member of this board the last time that the Oilers were ahead of the Flames and yes some of us have been around for that long remember that this board was completely trolled by a bunch of extremely arrogant Oiler fans who came here to delight in telling us how bad the Flames were and would be bad forever.

When I look at other boards including Oiler boards, I don't recall seeing Flames going there with the purpose of humble bragging or trolling.

Its one thing that the Oil fans base seems to feel that they need to do.

So to me, the last decade in hell for the Oilers and their fans is nowhere near long enough, and the greatest pleasure for me is that the Oilers will collapse again possibly as soon as next year, and Oiler fans will hear that they can't sign free agents or fix their team because they can't do it under their current salary structure.

When people talk about this tanking strategy the once thing that comes to roost is that as they acquire these young players year after year that within three to four years their salary structure goes out of the window and if they didn't draft or build well in later rounds that it can utterly screw their team.

Toronto is going to have some serious decisions to make in a couple of year as well. But at least they've got some legs on their prospect bench that can make the lower part of their lineup cheaper to balance off some of the mega salaries that they have.

Look, I usually take my Oiler posts and then ratchet them up to 11 because its fun, and this is supposed to be fun, and admittedly there are some good Oiler fans that come here not to troll. But the rest of them are like chewing aluminum foil. Add on the arrogance of their media and delusion of their media, the fact that everyone in the national media feels the need to hype that team, and their management and fanbase, and I wish for nothing but the worst for that team and everyone involved in it.
