Can you guys help me out with a list of the questionable moral characters of the oilers.. As soon as they see the rap sheet of all the players I'm sure they will switch to being fans of the flames.

Like a few others have already pointed out, why do you feel the need to justify your hatred of the Oilers? If those people can’t figure it out for themselves, then maybe they deserve to cheer for the Oilers.
That said, a few of the reasons I hate the Oilers:
- Kevin Lowe. From his attempt to make Mike Comrie pay back money before he would trade him to his “I know a thing or two about winning” arrogance, he is extremely unlikable. I know he is part if Oilers management, but he stands out even among the rest.
- Oilers management. From their willingness to hire the worst possible people (Kane, Perry, Bowman,…) to their treatment of players (Sheldon Souray, Comrie, Tobias Rieder,…), they truly reflect the detestable nature of their organization.
- Oilers players. They have had dirty players in the past, but the current group is particularly loathsome. Besides the aforementioned Perry and Kane, you have jerks like Nurse, who is quick to play the victim but has shown very little regard for others (crosscheck to head on Byfield, headbutt to Danault, suckerpunching Polak,…), and Draisaitl, who again tries to play the victim while being one of the dirtiest spearers, slewfooters and elbowers in the league. Add in the diving and embellishment that McDavid and Draisaitl (actually the entire team for that matter) insist on performing, they are truly deserving of the hate that all reasonable fans feel for them.
