Arizona and Florida do not support incompetence, nor have not been blessed with one of the best economies on the planet. Edmonton also has an arena located in prime location.
I'm actually quit informed
Not to mention a lot of people are only holding on to their season tickets and mini-packs so they don't lose their spots when Rogers Place opens.Rexall is filled with empty seats, and tickets are dirt cheap on stubhub. Maybe you aren't as informed as you like to think you are? Whatever though right? Those stinky Oiler fans are the problem, not the idiots in charge.
The fans to a certain extent. They've suffered a lot, but a number of them became pretty unbearable on here bragging about Hall, RNH and Yakupov. Most of them have self awareness and probably deserve something to be optimistic about. The organization (namely management and ownership) doesn't deserve it.
Yep, all those billboards, the newspaper ad, the jerseys thrown on the ice, the team being yelled at in the tunnel, the boos, the fans not showing up or instead selling their tickets online for peanuts = indicative of a fanbase that wants the team to lose.No, on the basis that their fan base has made a habit of cheering for their team to lose, prior to the mid-point of the season, every season. This desire of wanting to lose in order to draft 1st overall is beyond pathetic.
Oilers didn't finish bottom five in 2013, so your point no bearing on them. Just like the rest of your post, very well thought out and researched. Good job.Its too bad that the NHL does not relegate the bottom team if they finish bottom 5, 5 years in a row.
