Why do people hate the oilers? it's the fans and the players. Not the actual "understand hockey" fans, the rest.

"terrific" idea suggesting that the "line" should be at Leduc. Is this person aware that greaserville is the most northern NHL team? so league of one?

I had the "pleasure" (burden more like it) of speaking with one of the unwashed yesterday. I understand fandom...great for the city and all of that. playoff runs generate that in every city so not "better" or "exclusive".

It's the inevitable "Flames nowhere" that's the giveaway. Real fans understand that the teams are on different arcs...and the GreasePigs' arc is now trending down as an organization. I was hoping for a 2006 and later post-Carolina crash in 2024/5...but that might be delayed. It will happen though. I just want that crash now. immediately. Like Vegas sweep from here.
