Favorite moment as an oiler fan: 2005/2006 playoffs, specifically the conference final v. the Ducks. I was there with my best friend. if you watch the game, I was the one that started the "LETS GO OILERS" chant and what happened after was amazing: more Oilers fans started chanting and we drowned out the home team's chants. It was goosebump inducing!
Worst Oiler moment: Pronger leaving and trashing us, Souray leaving and trashing us, Heatley not wanting to get traded here, and the hate we got in the media as a result.
Did you play organized hockey and if so what level: No. Just played pick up hockey for fun.
