Their fanbase far exceeds ours in numbers though.
I still hate Edmonton and their fans.

They were hours from losing the team at least twice. Once when there was a massive season ticket drive where the Real Canadian Superstore bought 1000 season tickets to save them and the second with the EIG where they were minutes from being sold to a Texan.
Oilers fans like to pretend they have never waivered in their support, but they have.
