Not seeing that is just shortsighted.
Oilers fans are some of the most loyal and loud fans in the league and I give them huge credit for that, but when you get beyond cheerleading and being excited they actually seem to be the most uneducated Canadian hockey fans around.

It's baffling how they can be so passionate and so into everything that's going on yet lack basic understanding of how the cap works, why GM's do things certain ways, why things can't happen etc. It's fascinating.
