Well said, Adam. I got into the Oilers in the WHA-era and seeing first hand the quality of management, the player development and teamwork that went into the glory years was a source of pride. The decades of darkness are exasperating because the incompetence has killed that pride. If someone takes their kids to a game, right on, no negative at all, good to hear. If someone buys tickets and goes to a few games, right on, no negative at all, good to hear. But this forum is my (and a few others?) way of defusing our anger, expressing our outrage and pointing out critical failures of those in positions of power on the team who want/need our money. My way of protesting their incompetence is closing my wallet as much as I can.
Confession in the interests of full disclosure: I got free tickets to a few games last season, had a few beers in Ford Hall and bought one during the game at full price. I felt unclean, but I feel better that I've got that off my chest.

You didn't pay for those tickets, so you don't need to feel that guilty. In fact, the money you saved on buying the tickets meant you had more for purchasing the alcoholic beverages you would need to ease the pain of watching the Oilers being Oilers yet again. I've had to consciously watch my own consumption of alcohol when watching the Oil play whatever they think is hockey. I'm glad that weed is legal, because it provides an alternative to getting drunk along with the option of getting both high and drunk.
