Its sad that after this we won't see the Oilers for a good long time, its been fun to get my hockey hate back on, hello old friend its been too long.
In an effort though to lend flames to my hate of the Oilers I wandered over to that other board, the fortress of stupidity to look at their pre game thread, and instead of feeling the hate in my heart growing and bursting into flames (See what I did there?). Instead I found it sad and pathetic, a nursery rhyme filled with not but empty bluster, cries for the NHL to come down on the Flames, exclamations that there needs to be violence against Flames players.
Its actually become kind of pathetic. Thou I thought, thou could inflame things with some words, thus, instead I wished that someone would prescribe their whole fan base some kind of drug like xanax and years of therapy because they've become nothing but a pathetic example of a fanbase gone dumb.
So I wandered over to the Twitter, maybe there, I could find the hatred and competitive spirit that would make this rivalry what it once was. Instead I saw tweet after tweet bragging about their win against the Blues, and a few tweets crying about the knee on knee hit, and Tkachuk being a turtle still. I closed it down and sipped my coffee and realized, that a rival can't be good when one of the fanbases is stupid, and sad and soft. How would I inflame this rivalry without them, how would I get the hate in my heart without a fanbase that I can truly hate, instead of making constant fun of because of their pathetic, whiny and sad nature.
Then I realized I didn't need any help from them, I didn't need their stupidity to fill my heart with hate for the Oilers, for my heart is full.
