it really is the epitome of the life cycle of an Oiler fan

Experience short term boost to morale with something seemingly positive (eg. Getting a goal at home; Winning the UFA Lucic sweepstakes; Hiring Hitchcock and instantly winning a few games in a row)

Then experiencing the long term pain
(eg. Letting in 2 or more goals then after; Finding out Lucic sucks and have him for 6 more years; Hitchcock unable to mask a poorly built team and experiences more losses in a row)
