Oilers Oilers Oilers, its Karma they suck for so long, having to listen to arrogant Oiler fans in Edmonton and Calgary laugh at the Flames for years in the 80's. Canucks suck but I don't have even close to the same hate as I do for the Oilers. 2004 felt great beating the Nucks in OT, but for me it wasn't cause it was Vancouver it was because they hadn't won in the playoffs since 89. Beating the Oilers in 86' was AWESOME cause we beat the best team they ever put on the ice.

Canucks. There's so much more to hate. I've yearned to see that team crash and burn for years. I hate the Sedins, I hate Burrows, most of their fans, and hideous jerseys.
Oilers have a lot more to pity and laugh at, quite honestly.
Canuck's. Have for years but I think it's the fact that I live here. My hare guess back to the Naslund days. So much hype for that team. But worse in 2010/2011. Good I hated watching those teams play.
My hate has subsided a bit lately. I actually like some of the moves the canucks have done lately. Trevor and Willie were sold hires.
Lately I have been focusing on what the Flames do and don't care so much about others. I am really enjoying the rebuild process. Coaching, drafting, Adirondack., everything. It's been fun but it helps that you see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Honestly all three teams (us included) are so bad right now it's tough to have the rivalries as intense as they have been in the past.
Bashing Edmonton (and their fans) has almost become like the kid you used to pick on until an adult informed you there's something developmentally wrong with them and now it's tough to maintain the animosity in light of that fact.
Vancouver and their fans have been absolutely humbled in recent years. They were internationally outed as unsavoury hooligans and in the aftermath of them tearing down parts of their own city in that epic hissy fit the league as a whole seemed to catch on to their gut-less approach to the game. They were shamed on and off the ice. They're now clearly an aging team with a few years of declining on the horizon before they tear it down and become bottom feeders.
Hard to feel anything but sorry for both of them at this point.
Sad that the on ice high point was the off ice low. Ouch
