Now that some time has passed I think I can say that McDavid going to Edmonton more or less permanently killed some of my interest for the game. It just robs meaning of all the painstaking work the Flames and other rebuilding teams put in. If there ever was a team that deserved to be the laughing stock of their league, it was the Oilers. They should still be a laughing stock, and I can't support the reason they are not. But I also don't have it in me to hate McDavid for it. At least the previous roster was such a hilarious bunch of entitled losers they were easy to dislike.

Watching Las Vegas start tanking even before their first season started was also just sad.

I hope Vegas is going to be hilariously bad, because at least that would be something, and I hope they fail so miserably they quickly go bankrupt.

I just can't get behind rewarding failure.
