What separates Oiler fans from the rest is just how consistent they are in groupthink. They all say the stupidest things, collectively.

Today I was regaled with oiler tales, on 3 separate occasions. Each one had some variety of oilers would win the next 2 games, and since both are must win games, it was too bad that game 7 was in Vancouver.

I said, to be fair, Vancouver did finish in first place and that gets game 7 at home.

Each of them gave me this spin: “If you consider how good the Oilers were over the last half of the season, the Oilers were the better team and therefore should have home ice advantage.”

I observed that this would not be 82 games or the regular season.

Each said “that doesn’t matter, the oilers are the better team!”

I wondered if I was being wound up, but there is no way these people know each other.

Does it not ever dawn on these single cell brains that they finished behind the Canucks, and they are losing this series?
