Wow, assumptions can be had by the dozen here. I actually like the Oilers as much as I like the Canucks.
My NHL teams are 1. Pittsburgh, followed by 2. Detroit (but not so much now that Yzerman and Konstantinov are long retired)... Granted I always liked the Pens more than Detroit by a significant margin.
Don't get pissy that your city loses it over making it to a Cup Final.... I saw the BS that went down. Very unclassy. If Winnipeg does that with the Moose I'll be embarrassed.
So what if the Oilers won 5 Cups. That was decades ago. The team now is not even a shell of that team. 1990 was 19 years ago. Who cares. Bruins and Leafs won a lot of Cups too, but oh yeah... you don't hear them bragging about those past Cup wins. Winnipeg won Avco Cups and may have won a Stanley Cup if the NHL hadn't tore the Jets apart in fears that a once WHA powerhouse could dominate and beat the NHL's best.
So live in the present.
P.S. I like you too. Nothing against Edmonton. Was just stating a fact. I would dump on my city too if the fans got stupid like that and started burning and looting the streets. It's just a sport. Some people take this stuff way too far sometimes.
