Anyway, your irritation about a meme is distracting you from the rich bounty of misery you could be enjoying right now in the form of delicious, delicious Oiler fan tears.
Why am I irritated about a meme? Why would a poorly created meme distract from Oiler misery?

You're 100% correct.

They'll go into jilted lover mode and we'll hear about all their flaws. It's how they roll up there.

Wrong.

You don't get to decide what I mean when I post something.

Now kindly screw off, you're interfering with my schadenfreude.

However, Flames fans are not doing that at all - they know the Flames are also bad, but they are laughing at the Oilers because, unlike Flames fans, Oilers fans and media are delusional and arrogant, and bring this upon themselves.
Wait, the flames are bad?

I thought Corsi's meme was perfectly on point. It does mock Flames fans, sure, and you can choose to be insulted by that. I can recognize my own pettiness and still enjoy the schadenfreude.

But really it's another stab in the Oiler's kidneys about how utterly inept that "it's not if but how many" franchise is, especially in the contest of this thread. Thanks for posting it, I got a good chuckle.

I thought it was funny. And so did the majority of users in this thread so far.

It's an internet meme, y'all trying too hard to read into it.

This is the internet, and better yet this is the E=NG thread.

This is double serious business.

The Flames do not have to be good in order to find enjoyment in the Oilers being no good.

If the Flames were top of the league, bottom of the league, folded, moved, or never existed in the first place, I would still relish the splendor of the Oilers absolute & perpetual no-goodness.

Is it just me, or is it weird that Sportsnet isn't playing the replay of the game this morning. They always replay the games they had the previous night in the morning.

You needed to swap the oilers and sharks. Then it’s funnier.

The somber tone on 32 thoughts is almost comical. It's comparable to the intonation CBC had the day Don Cherry was fired. Like they are all facing a drastic about face of what once was true is shown not to be.

I love posts like this. They help me figure out who has the ability to laugh at themselves from time to time and not take things personally.

Also, I get that this is the E=NG thread, but it's literally about the current conversation so where else is it gonna go?

Hilarity ensued. Bravo!
