Curious. Which Oilers fan site do you believe is the best? I’m on three and this has drawn me back daily for 18 years. The others I go to when I need a laugh. Oilfans might criticize a player, but the majority of the time it’s backed by stats rather than opinion. Fan sites should be critical. Without fans (criticism is still support) we wouldn’t have pro sports. Ultimately we pay the salaries through viewership, merchandise and lastly ticket sales.

Also Calgary Puck iis the worst read I’ve ever seen and aside from The Athletic, Bears fans are completely irrational.

The sites I frequent the most, I don't think I have one that I think is "best". They each have their differences. I post here and Oilersnation the most.

Oilersnation has more stories to read. Granted they are coming from fans who fancy themselves as hockey experts. There are a few from Edmonton media guys who I like to read to see the quotes they get from players in the dressing rooms. They all have their biases but there is still some interesting stats at times and different perspectives. Here is just more about banter between fans. I do go spurts where I won't post here for awhile just because I need to take a break from here.

I agree to an extent that fan sites should be critical at times. It shouldn't be all "everything is great no matter what" all the time but it can get pretty negative I feel, especially towards some players. To the point it almost seems personal. An example is Nurse. I think it was at the beginning of this season he made the joke he gets blamed for everything including delays on bridges. That to me says he's aware of how critical fans are of him. I get he makes too much money but at times its pretty over the top for the guy. So I give the guy credit for how he handles it and how mentally tough he would have to be to handle that because it's a lot and if I was getting called crap on social media, on the radio, in blogs, on fans sites, day after day, which you can't deny happens a lot, I wouldn't handle it clsoe to has good as he does.

So when it comes to Laine, who doesn't seem to handle stuff like that as well, I don't think he would do well here because there will be fans and media who will be all over him, if he isn't scoring when he makes 8.7 mill. And you know as well as I do, it won't be constructive critism.

I can’t do OilersNation for the sole reason of not wanting to support anything Jason Gregor has a hand in. And yes, that includes DFO.

Your choice. I don't agree with everything Gregor says but he does get access to players that as a fan, I would never get so its a way to get information and perspective from players which I think is important.

There are people in here I don't particular care for in here but you have to take the good with the bad if you don't want to miss out on potentially good information.
