I was at last night's game. Here's my thoughts:
many hockey fans have a bias towards players who look like they work hard, whether they are effective or not.

Agreed. Ryan Smyth was garbage.

Ha.
With the fanbase and media in this market, I think this may stem from the teams of really nobody’s that we had in the late 90’s early 00’s who were hard working, proud, unselfish players who battled for playoffs year in and year out in before we went through the ‘entitled’ era leading to and lending a hand throughout the DoD.
The fanbase and those in the media remember Ryan Smyth, Jason Smith, Marty Reasoner, Rem Murray, Dougy Weight, Todd Marchant blah blah blah and how those teams battled for a playoff spot. Yes, the dynasty team members are remembered as well, obviously, which then brings us to when we started to not ‘battle’ for the playoffs with the likes of Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Andrew Cogliano, Ladi Smid, Tom Gilbert blah blah blah. And when those teams weren’t winning, it was easy to remember those hard working teams who at least brought playoff races and playoff series to the city of Edmonton.
Also, those within the City of Edmonton are some of the hardest working people I’ve ever met in my life. May be a tad biased as the wife is from YEG, but I have friends from all over the country from school, work and general travel. So a fanbase that is hard working in their every day life is going to look for nothing less in their beloved Oilers.
My .02 anyway.
