Now all of a sudden, they are the model franchise to be celebrated? Personally, any success they have will always have an asterisk. If this was a professional football league in Europe, the Oilers would have been relegated to the AHL a decade ago.
End rant. I suppose I'm a little irritated after watched McDavid singe handedly dismantle us last night.

Yeah, the Oilers are the slacker who wins the lotto then brags about his business acumen. Yay, you won. Good for you. But don't toss it in my face like you actually did anything to earn it. And no, losing for a decade doesn't mean you "earned" or "deserved" anything.
