we are getting a head of ourselves here

 

[Aerchon]

I mean it's not only Neal though, it's also his obsession with ex-Oilers, or players the Oilers were after.

Rieder, Talbot, Foo, Versteeg, etc.

It's like he wants to prove that the Oilers are terrible (didn't need any more proof the last few years anyways) by showing that he can turn our garbage into their gold.

There is definitely something there. Beyond/different than just a rivalry.

Many of those make some sense by themselves but all together that's a lot.

Seriously, for all the shit we’ve put up with why not have some fun when we can?

Why is there so much policing in this thread? (Not just by you).

Yeah it may go sideways but guess what? Right now it’s good so we can take a moment and enjoy that since we haven’t really had the opportunity to do that for so long.

They did that even when we didn’t do stuff like this so f*** it we might as well enjoy the things we can, while we can.

Calgary puck has had a "Edmonton is no good" thread up for years and karma hasn't bit them...f*** that karma and I'll enjoy the good times right now

thank you Brad for signing him to a ridiculous deal, then selling on him low...then taking Lucic and his awful contract back

 

[Drivesaitl]

So many Flames fans think Lucic racking up the PIMs is an equal offset to Neal leading the league in goals.

‘Both teams got what they needed!’

Mind boggling.

Is it really though? A vast majority of this board (me definitely not included) were in favor of the Hall for Larsson trade.

It is what it is, its fandom, and you see it almost everytime no matter how bad the trade is.


Heres the dynamic to look for. Initially the responses are honest and expected. You see a lot of WTF is this shit in the first hours or even day of the thread. By the next day you see revisionism happening. Its like the trade happened, and some flick the switch fast and try to like it, and try to justify and rationalize liking it. Reasons are INVENTED. Soon its seen as a good or acceptable trade, people discuss pros and cons and it quickly becomes a debate, even when the trade is so one sided.

Its a fan process I've been seeing for as long as I've followed hockey. No matter where you go.

Lets be clear here too. Hall for Larsson is on a whole level of worse than Lucic for Neal. As much as I like Neal. Hall is often the best player on his team, the most important player.

In the end most fans seem to accept what their team does. No matter how bad. That's not mind boggling, its come to be expected, and disparate voices get weeded out, or shouted out.

I was a voice in the wilderness here stating that Chiarelli was going to trade Hall and other talent and ruin this club for years. 95% of the posters here were loving Chiarelli at the time.

I do believe CP is to hockey is what Foxnews is to news-- never really had touch with reality

 

[FlameChampion]

I just find it weird how hard Flames media is trying to downplay this. Just seems desperate. I dont get it.

 

[ThePhoenixx]

Its Cloned he's impulsive with this stuff and doesn't believe in voodoo koodoo karma and superstition like the rest of us.

Everybody remember to keep wearing the same mismatching socks like I did watching the game. Don't change up anything. Don't walk on cracks on sidewalks.

I ain't breaking no backs!

I was thinking the same but then I thought about how they never make it past the first round...

 

[Weitz]

I never understood really calling out your rivals like this.

Its a bad look. Especially as the Oilers IMO.

It’s just a bit of fun while things are good.

I’ve never understood the need for some people to stomp all over people when they’re having a little harmless fun.

 

[super6646]

Just wanted to say good for you guys. After the constant crap oilers fans have had to deal with for years, you guys deserve a win for once.

I don’t wish Neal well though. He dogged it and didn’t give two craps here, and I absolutely will stand by that. Too bad (for the flames lol) tre made a pretty awful desperation move.
