This is why Oiler fans are perpetually clueless - they are constantly fed garbage. They are constantly told that their team is the best, the most amazing, the hardest done by, the most cheated by the refs and the league, the best looking, and just the most awesome-est.
All. The. Time.

I hate exaggerated lines like that.
Not everything is the best, greatest, worst etc.
Sometimes its just good, or above average, which it is.
Going there constantly waters down the meaning of "best" after a while.
I am positive there are faster shots than Draisaitl's.
Compliment (its a fast shot, hard to stop!), but make them earn the title of best this or that. You're right though, that's why their fans are genuinely confused when they fall flat on their faces, they're fed BS constantly and are gaslit by the media game to game. You would guess the glass is 9/10ths full based on the commentary each game even though they're below .500.
I'm kind of glad the media gives the Flames a rough ride a lot of times, because it keeps us in check and probably motivates individual players when they're singled out.
#### being entitled. That's how you end up with a 2 man team with no defense or goaltending that's made the playoffs in 1/14 years.
must show all Flames games nationally when they play on Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays !!!
