Asking a Flames fan not to talk about Edmonton is like asking a vegan not to talk about how eating meat is so bad.

You can take the sweatpants off the Oiler fan but you can't take the sweatpants out of the Oiler fan. The typical Edmonton fan just can't get it through their heads and this post further reinforces it. Nobody goes out of their way to talk about the Oilers except for Oiler fans. E=NG is simply a product of every Oiler fans own demise and self destruction. It's entirely self sufficient at this point.
Also, everyone get's it. You won some cups before the internet, mobile phones and HD television was a thing. It's been nearly 30 years since any kind of success. Your team stinks. Not even a generational talent is pulling your feet from the bottom of the port o potty and it's not going to change anytime soon. At least the Flames make an honest go of things while occasionally being bad enough to go full Oiler and actually cash in a high draft pick.
