Life as an Oilers fan.


Odd.

Recommended Posts

(I didn't know where to put this. I was thinking of putting it in the White Noise section but I decided to put it on the Around the NHL section)

I found a video online about an Oilers fan showing his frustration with his team and expressing it in his video. I think many of you will enjoy it. It's 6 minutes long and I'm sure it's not going to kill you. Video is below.

Oiler fans have been through a lot during these years.. I'll give them this, they are one of the most passionate hockey fans in the game. They love the sport, and are willing to go down with the team. They are sick and tired of the BS they have to watch every game because of poor management, rushing young players into their team, and having to "stay patient" while management sits on their asses eating popcorn and chips with their cherry on top doing pretty much nothing for the team NOW. They are now currently rebuilding their damn rebuild and it's gotten nowhere. Fans have been asking for change, for awhile now.

We all need to give these fans some credit, they have had to watch poor, uninterested hockey for nearly a decade because management has done NOTHING to help get them winning again. Fans have cheered and cheered, supporting their team in every way possible. But when your favorite team gets stuck in a rug, and somehow can't get out of it, you can't do much but be patient and wait until they finally somehow get out of it. Well in the Oilers situation, fans have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting, but no significant of change has happened for them. I feel sad to see them so depressed, that they're management and team have failed to deliver them any entertainment, especially to those passionate fans. Management is definitely a huge chunk of the blame to be spread out.

Here's the video of this Oilers fan. After I was finished watching this video, I nearly had a broken heart. This is an Oiler fan, broke hearten, watching his team again and again brake into little bits, becoming a national wide joke it has been, continuing to deliver all the wrong things.

Don't pity them! No mercy!

They need to suffer another 25 years.

I knew there going to be comments like these :P .

But at least give them credit. They are tuff little troops.

Meh, they have enough stanley cup banners. They also never cared about the Vancouver Canucks, even in the late 90's when the Oilers were in, CAnucks fans polled for them, but in reversal, they never supported us. one of the worst fan base I ever associated with. They can suck for as long as they can for all I care. go ahead, get Mcdavid next year, they will still suck.

I agree. I just feel bad for the prospects who have to have their careers ruined by Edmonton.

Eichel must be praying everyday for someone other than Buffalo to win the lottery or else he is stuck in Deadmonton.

If I were Eichel or McDavid I would just pull a Lindros and tell them I wouldn't sign there so they might as well trade my rights.

Don't give a rats arse about the Coilers, Hope they suck for ever!...I've actually grown up around Oiler fans where I would hear about how much my team sucked and how many Cups they've won...would never hear the end of it..

And my only reply would be , 'yeah because it's so hard to win a cup with most of the best players on one team'...blah blah...Now they can't buy a win with all those 1st round picks who were supposed to be the best picks and have become the laughing stock of the NHL.

Enjoy suffering, No mercy B!tches!

at least he can look back on footage of the gretzky years, and know his team has a whole bunch of cups in the cupboard...

being a lifelong canuck fan, I know my team has never won a Stanley cup in its history...

and ive personally experienced 3 agonizing potential cup clinching games that the canucks lost (including 1 in the stands unfortunately)

doubt being an oiler fan is as painful as being a canuck fan....

If oilers don't get Mcdavid; wow.

All good, They'll mess up his career as well...for the sake of him, I hope he doesn't go there..

I think the coilers will eventually get their crap together like the NY Islanders..

Then they will be the last ones laughing..

Highly doubt it bro, been hearing that for the last 10 yrs...they could get the next 10 first round draft picks and will destroy their career also! , And eventually run in to major cap trouble LMAO!

Good. I can't stand oilers fans. They can keep getting lottery picks until the end of time for all I care.

Careful...

There is a huge pile of geniuses here that would prefer us to pile up lottery picks!

I wish many on CDC had the resolve of this Oiler fan!

The Oilers are writing the book - when rebuilds go bad.

The video is painfully accurate but the real problem just like with the Islanders / Thrashers now Jets is ownership. Katz is a businessman and he is sitting on a money machine called the Oilers. He got the taxpayers to buy him a arena and he will milk that cow dry.

The Oilers in my view could be another 7 years out of the playoffs...

But they will eventually come out of it. When they completely over-haul the old boys club there with Lowe and company is the time to start watching for them to right the ship...
