The Oilers have become a consistent negative for me.
I was having a great time on Saturday night, I just left a show and was looking forward to seeing the team firmly in the lead against a terrible team. Of course, when I got to the bar, they were down 2-3. That didn't ruin my night by any means, but it was a negative. I wish I hadn't paid attention to the game, because the night would have been perfect without that embarrassing loss. Turned an "A+" night into an "A" night, which is not a big deal - but who wants an A when you can have an A+? Who wants to support something that repeatedly and consistently brings you down a notch?
Rarely, does the team evoke happiness, joy, or hope. They are akin to a close cousin that is always screwing up, and hearing about him is little more than an annoying emotional drain. I would almost compare keeping up with the team to spending time with someone with a personality disorder. Always confused by what they're doing, always hoping for the best, seeing a glimmer, then resigning to disappointment with the realization that there is something terribly wrong with them, and that all the good will eventually be overshadowed and drown-out by some core badness, for which there is no sign in sight of being addressed and cured. Same painful disorder - what's the point?
Honestly, I feel sorry for Chiarelli. I'm sure a lot of his terrible performance is due to the current upper management in place.
I formally vote that "Fire Chia" not be a thing on Oil Fans, because he's not the problem, it's those above him who are. No one believes that firing Chiarelli is going to fix anything, so let's stop talking about it and promoting the idea.

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!
