Sun shines brighter
Grass is greener

Water tastes better
Wine tastes sweeter
Club Soda tastes the same (disgusting)

Other people are less annoying

I've lost ten pounds on the Donair Diet, thanks Oilers!

 

[millax]

Its the middle of January and it feels warm outside..

 

[Canovin]

More corporate fans and bandwagoners

 

[Diamondillium]

I hate going to the main boards slightly less.

It's still awful there, but slightly less awful.

It's still awful there, but slightly less awful.

The trade board is significantly better though.

All the Oilers related threads are still a **** show, but there are considerably fewer of them.

 

[KlefDown]

can confirm all the above

 

[Ol' Jase]

My bacne is gone!

 

[McPuritania]

Food doesn't taste like ashes in my mouth, so that's a bonus.

 

[Diamondillium]

I can also tolerate the existence of Gaudreau now that we have the sad Johnny meme.

 

[0ilerman]

I actually care about the rest of the league much more. I follow the standings, watch more highlights, even read previews of games that I'd normally not care about. Still watching the Raptors consistently, but my consumption of the rest of the NBA has significantly dropped

 

[Paperbagofglory]

Ever since the Oilers started winning i no longer craving the demon rum.

I am very confused and sober for the first time in ages. My days of Irish breakfasts have come to an end.

 

[Renly Baratheon]

After this season we'll hear no more of "No one has ever tweeted about an Oilers playoff game" and all that.

Or Hurr durr, Oiler playoff highlights aren't in HD on Youtube.

not mentioning playoffs

but I was just watching game highlights and wow, we've got lots of wins this year, against good teams too

Methinks we need to bug Fitter to make a highlight video of our season.

so will it take twice as long to fit in all the glory, or half as long to find good stuff?

 

[Up the Irons]

I find myself interested in other games. San Jose vrs Van is suddenly very interesting.

First time in years.

that's true

I've probably watched parts of more games this year than the rest of my life put together

 

[lakai17]

feeling like the late 90's all over again.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I told my girlfriend I loved her.

I also said that to my cab driver.

 

[McShogun99]

The only negative is that games are more expensive but it's a small price to pay to watch meaningful hockey after October.

 

[shoop]

No mocking from Facebook friends.

No reason to get drunk and/or high to get myself ready for the pain of watching games.

 

[Cawz]

I can wear Oilers gear here in Calgary again, and instead of people making fun of me, they just get mad.

Thats right. Be mad, *****es!

 

[voxel]

Almost an air of respectability. Less mocking of the Oilers on satellite radio. Lots of tongue biting

By default the main boards are still negative on the Oilers and live in past. The opposite is true of say the Lightning:

"They're still too good of a team to miss. This thread will look silly in a few months when they're primed for a deep playoff run."

When we reach that sort of optimism by OTHER fans on the main board we've become legit. I'm hoping that is next season
