Here's the thread about it from 2009:

Features a post from a friend of the song's creator:
"The fan got a call from the NHL asking us to pull it... I guess the Oilers are upset by it LoL."
Also there's a link to an Oilers-Nation article where someone who worked at the Edmonton station received the official complaint:
Quote:
While Jason Gregor and I were on the air today, we played the song and had a good laugh over it. Hey, if the Flames got lit up that bad and somebody here came up with a parody that slick, I'd laugh at it, too.
Not long after, we got a call from producer Will Fraser at TEAM 1260 and he told us Allan Watt, the Oilers vice-president of communications and broadcast, had phoned to complain and that he'd also contacted several other stations demanding they not play it.

Also several posts about Rob Kerr confirming on the air that Edmonton complained and forced them to stop playing it / take it down.
