Those guys weren't all vilified...
Most were. For instance, this forum certainly sided with the Oil during the feuds with Burke and Lombardi... who would do that now?
It's our instinct to defend our team. We could dig up tons of posts of people attacking Souray or blaming Nylander and his agent etc. etc. etc. but with hindsight we're more aware of this trend of total ineptitude. Now that we have all the information about Brule, who can argue the Oil were acting ethically or in good faith? Hell no, that was straight up dirty.
