And to watch the Oilers luck into not one, but two generational players is pretty damn hard to stomach.

What Rejean said is true. I like your posts for the most part despite having blocked you from time to time due to your self righteous/assured posting style. Again, just some food for thought that others, generally significantly older lol, likely have a different life experience than you. And that's ok.
That being said, it is tough to watch the Oilers have a good season after years of getting breaks and draft picks. Then to have the media rub it in our faces at every turn. It just doesn't seem right to see that awful fanbase get rewarded after celebrating draft lottery after draft lottery. It's gross and makes the league look amateur IMO.

Fair enough. The Oilers haven’t been good in my lifetime so it’s definitely different. I have fun making fun of Oiler fans (and Jets fans, because they’re extra pathetic) but I don’t have the hate.
I still don’t understand watching their games, though. I just dislike everything about that team. If I’m not watching the Flames I’d rather watch good teams where I can just enjoy the hockey.
