how about when they miss the playoffs or get swept in the first round
Its not a Flames fan thing, there are complaints all over the internet that RSN are massive Oiler homers...because they are
Ron said to Gary Bettman that he has a problem with officiating because "Mcdavid and Draisaitl aren't here" during the finals in a year the Oilers were swept in round one.
Its not "hurt feelings" there are complaints all over the internet the Oilers get way too much air time for a team that has never won anything.
Has there ever been a player that has never won a game past the 2nd round who gets talked about like one of the greatest of all time? For christ sake they still call them the "young Oilers" despite being one of the leagues oldest teams
