Whoever compared OEG to Scientology isn't far off

The team is terrible, but they'll do anything to bleed their fans dry... and now they're shoving loyalty down their throats? This might be the only positive thing I'll say about Oil fans: they're nothing but loyal.

What a shameless organization

It’s more like Stockholm Syndrome at this point.

My lord. This is the third season they've been in Rogers Place and they're still pimping it out in those videos, front and centre, construction time lapse. T-Mobile arena in Vegas is a couple months older and you never hear about it likes Rogers Place.

How long will Oiler fans and media keep boasting about it? 5 more years? The thing is going to be decade old before they stop.

At their last home game, they hosted a bunch of O&G families for "Loyal to Oil" night at Rogers Place.

Oilers fans don't see it, this is propaganda. Oilers management has the players and the fans following "nothing" like blind sheep. The people in the photo are either being paid, or just blindly contributing to another round of kool-ail, the rest just keep following along.

Last weekend I was there and everywhere I went was “Have you seen the new arena?” “Wow your going to the arena its amazing!”

Then inside the arena it was like “this arena is amazing hey?”

Like full on self validation crisis woven right into city spirit.

Welcome to Edmonton
“Have you seen the arena? Pretty cool hunh? Right? Please notice us”

The propaganda is secretly fed to the masses in the water.

Who could ever forget the Oilers troll Sundeep, around 2003, talking about the green river valley and extolling the virtues of having an FCUK store in WEM. Right around the time that city and it’s inferiority complex decided to change Calgary Trail North to Gateway Ave and thus costing the taxpayers and businesses who had to change thier signs and addresses, over a million dollars.

The thing that makes me laugh about the whole Loilty thing is that they are trying to guilt fans into being loyal.

I know we all make fun of the Oiler fans, and yeah, they can be annoying, but they shouldn't feel like they are betraying anyone by voting with their dollars and being critical of their team.

Drake Caggiula: "Never give up and believe in yourself"

traded for Brandon Manning ...

That type of thinking is not very popular in Edmonton.
