More than that though, I would wager that everyone participating (except for ironically a lot of Oiler fans) understand what this thread is - a place to have a little fun at the expense of our #1 rival.
We have a lot of regular Oiler fans who choose to be regular participants. Then we have ones like you - who only come and participate when it suits their needs. When their team is winning. And then the contribution amounts to "boy you guys sure are pathetic needing a thread like this".
What's more sad? Having a thread like this, or someone choosing to spend their time to post in a forum, that they otherwise don't, just to say something like that?
But it is a rivalry, and if that is how you choose to express yourself as part of the rivalry - fill your boots
Just don't look down your nose at other fans and pretend that somehow you are above the fray.
You ain't.
And in fact your selective participation in that fray only proves that you don't have the stones to be a part of it when things ain't going your way.
Smuggy smug smug.

Well said, but I'd like to emphasize this thread is about celebrating Edmonton's "No Goodness" on so many levels. It's not really necessary to be discussing or comparing the Flames' performance here - we have the whole rest of this website to do that.
