Not sure how you feel about a boycott

[Messier11]

...I think it is time to organize a boycott of a game. Actually organize this so that Katz may hopefully get the message. Certainly, the attention it would garner throughout the media may be enough to move the minute hand away from Doomsday...a request by 97 to be traded out of here.

Sadly, too many people would not actually be willing to do this. We can complain all we want on here, but the only way this organization will ever take notice is when you hurt them where it counts...their pocketbook.

And, to put my money where my mouth is, I would be happy to put my own money in to an ad in the Edmonton Journal to promote this. I would rather do this than see 97 look to leave.

I'm in Ontario but I'm vowing to not spend another dollar or watch another game until the house is cleaned.

Meh. It's becoming more popular for stars to call out their management then demand a trade. I bet McD pulls an Eichel way before he wants out

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

unfortunately hfboards is the minority when it comes to hockey fans.

90% of the season ticket holders are corporations who give their tickets away anyways, and there will always be someone wanting to experience an nhl game in a state of the art arena.

I'd like to think we as fans can do something, but as long as there is someone out there spending money on the oilers, we're stuck waiting until the org realizes its own stupidity.

maybe it'll just be another 15 years.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I've watched my last game.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I’m not going to anymore Oiler games this year. At least, not in Edmonton.

 

[ZJuice]

If someone organized a protest I would definitely join..

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

There's so many tickets sold already for the rest of the games this year that it can't even be done. Sure you could not show up for your paid seats, but the organization suffers minimally while you've just wastes money on unused tickets

 

[McDrai]

I know not too many people were happy about this move but the throwing the jersey on the ice seemed to be very effective in showing the frustration from the fans. I'm sure that will happen this season if things keep going downhill

 

[780il]

I'm not watching a game, going to one, buying any merch until this shit show is cleaned up

 

[Uindicator]

I'd gladly throw a Lowe jersey on the ice , hell I feel like setting the Rogers arena on fire right now

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

But let's be honest, I can't refrain from watching McDavid. He's magical and I will watch just for him.

 

[nexttothemoon]

I've watched my last game.

What, you're not going to watch the new dynamic duo of Manning-Petrovic vault this team back to contention... starting tomorrow vs the soon-to-be shellshocked Jets and continuing with a devastatingly successful road trip through the Southwest USA after the New Year?

That last goal he scored was dreamy... I can't give him up.

The team could ice a lineup of shit on skates and I’d probably still watch. Dam Oiler hockey has been in my blood since I was a baby.

Highlights are fun

 

[McJadeddog]

The team could ice a lineup of **** on skates and I’d probably still watch. Dam Oiler hockey has been in my blood since I was a baby.

I used to be this way. No more. When McDavid asks for a trade, and Katz still has the OBC employed, I'm done as an Oilers fan.

 

[Aerrol]

Boycotts are the way to go but I've already been boycotting paying for Oilers products for a year plus...

Agree that highlights are the way to go since McDavid is the only reason to watch this garbage team anyways.

I was involved in a few things back in the Kevin Lowe must go days. I don't think something like that will start happening again, people are more apathetic than upset now. I think sometimes we forget how upset everyone was just before we got McDavid.

I remember the jersey tossers, the guy who drove his tractor onto the Oilers' property with a Kevin Lowe Must Go sign attached, the guy who funded the bill board and that whole campaign was big too. There were a few incidents of people bringing signs at games. Me and a friend (very drunkenly) yelled out "Kevin Lowe has to go" chants during the last minute of a blow out game, we had two signs that said "Fire" and "Lowe" on them and walked right up to the edge of the upper bowl. Lots of people got on board and chanted with us but some told us to shut up because they wanted to watch the game, even though we had just watched St Louis outshoot us 48-17 at home or something like that, during a double digit losing streak, and we were some 4 goals down with twenty seconds left. That emotion (at least for me) is gone. The point of protesting the team is long gone for me, now it's just deciding if I care anymore.

Didnt renew my tickets after last season.

They lose a lot of money on concessions if fewer people go.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Still havn't set foot in the new arena and use illegal streams exclusively.

Jokes on you guys, I already jumped off the titanic a week ago.
