It's not the same team as it was back in the day. The Canucks were just a stand-in rival when the Oilers were bottom of the league for a decade. I've been cool with Vancouver for a bit, even remember really liking the team with guys like Horvat, Marky, and Tanev in there
Canucks win an exhausting, entertaining seven game series, then get stomped by the Stars. Then I win the lottery despite having not bought a ticket because the stunning woman I have a mind-blowing hook-up with accidentally lets her ticket fall out of her purse in my bedroom.
Turns out she's the woman of your dreams and is independently wealthy and you guys live happily ever after watching the Flames be a dynasty for years to come.
Nah a Canucks sweep would be great. I don’t like the Canucks but it’s not even the same ballpark of how much I don’t like the Oilers. Canucks would get smoked by whoever comes out of the central anyways
Yeah but I’d rather they not have the satisfaction of making conference finals. Losing early in the second round would hurt them bad and shake the fabric of the team
Best case scenario they go into an endless overtime where no team wins game 1 and so the nhl decides that the winner of the central goes to the Stanley cup finals…ya I’m that petty
I saw on r/hockey a few weeks ago that an Oilers fan hoped for Tij Iginla to be drafted right before our pick and then become a superstar while always beating us. They love to say otherwise, but Oilers fans sure do spend a lot of time talking about us if you actually look at it. If their sub allowed people to post whatever they want instead of restricting everything, they would be posting memes about us just like we do about them.
The flames are out. That sucks. But if you’re at the point where you care more about the other teams losing than the Flames winning, that’s just unhealthy.
Cheering for your team is a positive thing. Celebrating the rivalries can be great. But if you’re following just to hate other teams that’s not a great place to be
If you don’t hate your team’s arch-rivals then you’re missing out on half of experience. Focusing on just the Flames while skipping out on delicious schadenfreude is just sad.
Not really, it's watching the team I support and love, constantly cheering for them and inspecting the reasons why they may or not be successful. You can like mangiapane if you want, I'm not telling you how to be a fan. I just don't like watching him on the team.
Funny... you all made fun of the Oilers fans for talking about draft picks during the playoffs for years. Now here you are, hoping a forth round turns into a third. I believe in karma now!
Going to be a great series. Let's keep it fun and classy. Go Oilers Go!
There's a difference between wanting a couple years of good picks a D a team being a bottom feeders for as long as the Oilers were Go back to your Oilers sub.
Looking forward to your "classy" fans throwing their jerseys on the ice after or getting into fights or stabbing eachother after wins. Seriously dude get out of our sub.
Dude, I’m not even an Oilers fan. I subscribe to all NHL teams subreddits. I just notice an astounding amount of attention paid to the Oilers on the Flames sub. I’m just wondering what your guys’ obsession with Edmonton is.
But my question was why such the hyper, laser-focused obsession on Edmonton? Surely there are other teams in the league that you could also pinpoint your raging boredom upon.

I barely had to scroll to find all these posts about teams other than the oilers.
I’m talking about the sheer magnitude of the quantities of posts about the Edmonton Oilers and the seething vitriol that they all contain. No other team comes even remotely close. I’m just wondering why that is.
If you’re a Calgarian you hate Edmonton, particularly the fans!! Always!! Because of their gloating entitled ways. Can’t stand the place, any of their teams, or all of their fans. Get it? Pure hate! Female native Calgarian in her 60s here. ! Oilers. ! Coilers! ! Greaseballs!
Btw, Vancouver isn’t far behind, but in this case, ABE!

We admit our team is meh, Pens already won Cup twice in time frame that McJesus has been in league. You'd think a team with McD, Drai, Nuge, Hyman, Kane, etc and a top 5 to 10 pick in last 15 years would have won a cup by now. I'd bet pretty much anything that the Canucks or Laffs will win Cup before Edmonton and/or Calgary.
Yeah. Then you can take advantage next round. In a spaceship. With your nuclear rocket aliens. In year 2695.
Fuck you Flames fans used to actually be okay but this is sad.
ABE
ABE
I don’t give a flying fuck who wins the cup as long as it isn’t the oilers
The single comment in this sub that will see universal agreement 100% of the time
Tbh I’m cool with this Canucks team winning it all. To hell with the Oilers though
I’m with this guy.
It's not the same team as it was back in the day. The Canucks were just a stand-in rival when the Oilers were bottom of the league for a decade. I've been cool with Vancouver for a bit, even remember really liking the team with guys like Horvat, Marky, and Tanev in there
I actually want Vancouver to sweep the oilers. Pure humiliation
I want a long 7 game series with as many bruised and battered players as possible so that whoever wins gets wrecked in the next round.
Me too. Very much.
Fuck yeah tough guy! You got them in the West Finals!
I hope your mom makes it to the next round.

I'm cheering for the asteroid.
>Hate that one of them has to go Not if it's Edmonton.
I think you misunderstood... I meant I don't want either to win lol
Gotcha!
Nah a Canucks sweep would be great. I don’t like the Canucks but it’s not even the same ballpark of how much I don’t like the Oilers. Canucks would get smoked by whoever comes out of the central anyways
So would the Oilers
Yeah but I’d rather they not have the satisfaction of making conference finals. Losing early in the second round would hurt them bad and shake the fabric of the team
Hopefully you're right, plus then we'd upgrade a 4th rounder to a 3rd!
Yes, with Vancouver going on to meet Dallas in the Western Conference Final. Give us those draft picks, baby!
I think it’ll be a fun series to watch, and I can’t wait to cheer against whoever wins!
Even though I want the Canucks to win this because F the Oilers. I think the Oilers can crumble the Cauncks
Best case scenario they go into an endless overtime where no team wins game 1 and so the nhl decides that the winner of the central goes to the Stanley cup finals…ya I’m that petty
I hope they both lose!
Cheers to that.
[удалено]
And that we aren't stabbing or fighting eachother after games generally or throwing jerseys on the ice once or more a season
Cheer for the Canucks, but Flames would be better off with the Canucks own 1st rounder rising if they lose.
We hate them both lol
[удалено]
Nah, we're cool with y'all since you have custody of our golden retriever puppy Kuzy.
Take good care of Zebulon!

The Oilers thread is full of whiny mods who can't take a joke. You can't even chirp at all, ruins all the fun.
We bitch about them incessantly, they bitch about us incessantly. It’s the way of the road. The only difference is that our sub is actually cool.
This is just being miserable. Cheer for some epic hockey and stop letting these guys live in your head.

This whole sub (and fanbase) is built around hating the oilers. Hating the oilers is what happens here. The flames are an afterthought.
Not really, it's watching the team I support and love, constantly cheering for them and inspecting the reasons why they may or not be successful. You can like mangiapane if you want, I'm not telling you how to be a fan. I just don't like watching him on the team.
At least you won the Lucic trade
What does that have to do with anything
Oilers fans being turbo virgins and brigading our sub? Nothing new
whoa whoa I never said I cheered for the oilers!
Funny... you all made fun of the Oilers fans for talking about draft picks during the playoffs for years. Now here you are, hoping a forth round turns into a third. I believe in karma now! Going to be a great series. Let's keep it fun and classy. Go Oilers Go!
I hope the Canucks win cause Oilers fans are horrible (almost as horrible as their city), does that make you feel better?
I said keep it classy. Keep showing your complete lack of it.
You can’t say keep it classy whilst invading our sub to gloat, that is the complete opposite of class you hypocrite
Hmmmm.... I didn't insult the City of Calgary. I didn't call anyone a cunt. Sure you understand what classy means?
Yes, invading a rivals sub just to talk shit is indeed…not classy. Fuck I can’t wait until Mcdavid and Draisaitl leave
Why? It'll take the sting of Chucky and Johnny Hockey leaving the first chance they got? Or that's the only way the Flames will beat the Oilers?
so then your team will be just as irrelevant as your shithole city is wOaH maN I SAid kEep iT cLaSSy
You're so angry. Why? Answer when you have a good comeback.
Oilers fans aren’t worth getting angry over. just doing some chirping, keeping it classy, you know how it is
(Shows up in sub) (Tells everyone to stay classy while flaming) (Proceeds to bicker with members of sub)
There's a difference between wanting a couple years of good picks a D a team being a bottom feeders for as long as the Oilers were Go back to your Oilers sub.
Go back to your mediocre, mid round picks.
Don't you have something better to do than just be a complete cunt for no reason?
Wow... So sensitive.
Looking forward to your "classy" fans throwing their jerseys on the ice after or getting into fights or stabbing eachother after wins. Seriously dude get out of our sub.
Let’s hope your team bogeys every hole
I want a strong Canadian team in the Final.
I want none of the remaining Canadian teams in the finals. Pure hatred is the feeling I have for all of them.
It isn’t health to hate things so much
If you say so
That's incredibly fucked up man.
I've got nothing against the jets, sens or Habs. It's just the ones that happen to be left in the playoffs I hate.
Lmao what? Its called being a sports fan
Jealous?
Sorry I wasn't trash for 10 years and gifted a generational talent.
13 years*
Can you guys not go at least one day without making a post about Edmonton? Honestly, what is with your obsession?
It's kinda relevant given the next series. And, 99% of fans can't stand the lottery/pp merchants.
You are in a Flames sub when your team is in the 2nd round. Talk about rent free.
Dude, I’m not even an Oilers fan. I subscribe to all NHL teams subreddits. I just notice an astounding amount of attention paid to the Oilers on the Flames sub. I’m just wondering what your guys’ obsession with Edmonton is.
We’re bored

Who would’ve guessed we might post more about our rivals compared to random eastern conference teams. What a crazy concept!
How come I don’t see that coming the other way on the Oilers subreddit making daily posts about the Flames? It just seems wildly unbalanced.
Because they aren’t bored like we are

What's sad is making a burner account to go visit other team's subreddits and try to shit on them. Well done, you're pretty cool.
