As a Flames fan it sucks listening to Oilers bias constantly in the national media. But, unfortunately the current face of the entire NHL (chosen by the NHL) is an Edmonton Oiler. Whether it's deserving or not is irrelevant because the league is gonna market the sheet out of them ad nauseum until the next one takes the mantle.
I hate it as much as anybody else but there's nothing we can about it outside of just not watching any more.
They did it with Crosby too. And Lindros before then and so on and so forth.
The fun thing about this absurdity though is that despite the Leagues and SN and TSNs efforts, the Oilers still suck and they'll never get a McJesus hoisting the cup moment. Ever.
Eventually they'll move on.
