I dont know why theres so much backlash? For one the Oilers didnt lay down like Arizona and Buffalo did for the last half of the season. Buffalos fans were cheering on the other team to win for friggs sakes! Arizona traded everyone who could score and defend goals, Edmonton tried to claw its way back to respectability even beating some good teams in the home stretch of the season. This lottery win is just pure dumb luck, McDavid is coming to a city with a new barn rabid fans and an owner who can pay him anything. McDavid is going to be a god in Edmonton.

The main reasons for the hatred based on most of the comments I've seen is the following:
- The nimrod assheads who've run the Oil team into the ground have just been rewarded for their incompetence. I can agree with this assessment fully, as it's true. This is basically like seeing a drooling idiot win the Lotto 6/49 before they announce that they're going to spend it all on beer and hot dogs.
- The Oil have now won the 1st overall pick 4 times in the past 6 years, and everyone else in the NHL is sick of seeing it. I am actually not in full agreement with this complaint. Sure, the Oil have gotten those picks, but that's what happens when you're the NHL equivalent of a bottom-feeding algae-eater. A team sucks, they get the top picks in order to get better. The NHL changed the rules to cut down on the number of times any one team could be rewarded for being crap, but the Oil got very, VERY lucky this time. I'd bet the farm that if this year's draft didn't have anyone nearly as hyped as McDavid, we wouldn't have seen even close to the amount of hatred that's been expressed so far.
P.S.: The scary thing is that if McJesus turns out to be everything that he's made out to be, the MacT quote I put into my sig will be 100% right.
