How much joy are you guys really getting with petty nicknames like "Coilers" and "McDoofus" and "McDingus" etc etc etc.
The team itself is already a joke. The names just seem super petty and kind of childish and none particularly inventive or witty.
Anyways, just wanted to comment on that, as I see it pretty often and it always makes me discount the content of the post when I see something like that.

Is it the fault of the posters in this thread, that the Oilers continue to provide such an easy target? You know, there is one way to shut everyone up.... win. That's right, its simple... to shut up all that oppose you; take away the reason that you are mocked.
The Oilers have been given every opportunity to succeed... and I mean every opportunity. Anyone in the Calgary Puck Community can see what no one in HF Boards - Edmonton has been unable to see. Now, the Oilers have the best player in the world; however, the team that has been constructed around him by the Oilers "Old Boys Club" is clearly not going to win anything anytime soon.
The Oilers will be mocked until they are able to silence the critics, by winning, and I can't see that happening for quite a while.
