For players does anyone truly dislike Hughes, Petterson, Boeser, Lindholm? I can possibly see people not liking JT Miller with his attitude.
But then the Oilers have the entitled McPissy duo who never give the opponent credit. They also have Kane, Perry, Nurse and all of those players combined just make who to cheer against a no brainer.

Certainly not when I lived there; all they were talking about in '04 was who they preferred to play in the second round once they beat Calgary. Never mind '94, which started my hate for them.
I don't think it has anything to do with the players. If you switch the entire rosters, probably close to the same amount of people would be supporting that cast of ne'er-do-wells just because they aren't wearing Oiler jerseys.
