Being an Oiler fan anywhere sucks.

I remember seeing so many damn flames car flags in town during their 04 cup run. It made me sick.
So was there any Red Mile celebration last night in Calgary or still too early for that?
Probably too early. While there are (finally) people wearing jerseys and car flags, there's nowhere near the pandemonium there was 10 years ago.
Probably bandwagoning.

I doubt like hell that any of Katz, Lowe or Mactavish even realize the season is still going for 16 teams. Judging by the way they operate, I'm convinced they think the season really ended on April 11th. Doubt any of them are paying attention to the playoffs.Outside fan coming in peace. I'd almost think most Oiler fans would prefer if the Flames won because it would really rub it in Lowe/MacT's face about how bad they messed up their own team and how their neighbours down south have had such great success. You'd have to think that in some universe somewhere, that would make Katz mad and he'd clean house after witnessing the Flames success. It might be the lesser of 2 evils, but I would have to think that the longer of a run the Flames go on this post-season, the more pressure is on Katz to actually do something to fix his own team.
I was embarrassed for Edmontonions when this was going on. It was disgusting.I remember seeing so many damn flames car flags in town during their 04 cup run. It made me sick.

See and for me I look at that and say .. meh, at least its their own property. If they want to fly a Flame flag I would say that's their business.I was embarrassed for Edmontonions when this was going on. It was disgusting.
The funny thing though was that it disgusted me in 2004, I couldn't possibly care less now if it was to happen again. People want to cheer for the Flames in Edmonton? Who cares? Have fun.See and for me I look at that and say .. meh, at least its their own property. If they want to fly a Flame flag I would say that's their business.
I find it much more disconcerting to come to an Oiler site and see so many people falling over themselves with praise and envy for the Flames.
Wanna love the Flames? They have a board for that.

I never thought I'd become as apathetic about this team as I am now. I lived through the tough times of the post Gretzky and dynasty era where we went from best in the world to pretty terrible. I never stopped loving this team and always felt we'd get back there. It's different now though, I don't see us ever getting out of the mess we're in. I don't think the owner remotely cares either and as a sports fan, nothing is more depressing than that.
