I will always very fondly remember the ~'10-'17 oilers as a flames fan living in the frozen north. A veritable hive of scum and stupidity. Still ongoing of course, but back then it was so consuming. Being a young man with a heavy social life at the time, I was interacting with some of these chuckles at parties and bars (in season!) and a weekend didn't go by where at least one horrible story about them didn't come out.

But at the time it was largely young idiots doing stupid things mostly reflecting poorly upon themselves. Like Hall and Ebs tag teaming gutter rats, or Yakupov getting lit at a restaurant bar. Personal fave was Bryzgalov coming to my bar and eating two steaks post a particularly bad game lol- drank 4 pints and wouldn't look a soul in the eye. And their hijinks at the time was only rewarded by abysmal failure.

Now they're so much worse as people. Both impressive and ridiculous. And their occasional success makes them all the more intolerable.
