Rumor: Trade Deadline 2015 the aftermath, the debate and process of an Autopsy of the team

[Tyrolean]

I could care less about what they do at home. Most professional athles are p.o.s.' in regular life. You take most young men and give them millions, all the women they want plus free stuff everywhere they go and see how they turn out. If the guy can help the team win then who really cares. Once he does his jail time then his debt to society is paid.

Nor everyone is like that. It depends on your upbringing and values. Also people can change their bad habits at a young age.

Petition to Katz to improve and replace the loser management OBC or you will have no more fan support and lose millions. Hopefully he won't move the team but if that's what it takes to get a more rsponsible owner ...

Don't, because though the message might be right, it's seen out of market as "wow that's one entitled fan base, I don't want to deal with there BS if I have a couple bad weeks"

We're at the top of players no trade list anyway. That won't change until the team improves and that won't happen until MacT and Lowe are gone.

Oilers fans are awesome, they just need something to cheer for. Players know that passionate fans are rough when you're super bad, but when we're in the playoffs that crowd will give you chills it's so electrifying.

We're good fans, but we're a pretty entitled group though, and even if the team were good, it would still scare some off I suspect.

Entitled? We all loved the '06 run, and we all knew how unlikely it was. Which was part of the fun.

 

[40oz]

I don't think we act entitled at all, just needy. Very, very, needy.

We are, it's not hard to spot

The '06 was magically, and something to behold if you were a player, however there are many "fans" who look at it as "just a fluke" and "wish the team didn't go on it to set unrealistic expectations"

"Good fans" but an "entitled" group? What does that even mean?

People who put a lot of money, time, and attention into something expecting that something to be worth their time? MADNESS!

The fact that the Oilers still have fans at all suggests they have the best fans any team could ask for. Especially for a team only concerned with nepotism and making money.

So wanting our team to play hard every night and be able to compete in almost all games played makes us entitled?

 

[Arpeggio]

Oiler fans are entitled? Yeah ****ing right. The Oilers haven't had an above average regular season in 25 years! Entitled to what?

a 30 minute "back rub" from Katz in the back room?

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

Entitled?!?!

Oiler fans???

 

[McDrai]

The Oilers fan base is arguably the least entitled fan base in the NHL
Consistent bottom 5 finishes and the seats continue to be filled

 

[RipsADrive]

Apparently having the expectation that your team makes or at least competes for the playoffs makes you entitled.

Maybe this fanbase was the most entitled back in the dynasty days but things have long changed since then.

 

[Captain Catatomic]

I'll go with traumatized. Def. the most traumatized fanbase in the NHL
