Here's aninteresting survey of each fan base.. over 3,000 in the survey.. the oiler ranking kinda follows my own I hate Florida/Vegas more than teh Flames even these days.. but Calgary still loves us to death lol.. Its insightful to see how other fan bases view the other teams.. some of thier hated teams you can figure out, but others seem more random.. one theme seems to be familiarity and proximity breeds some level of contempt.
Fans that rank Oilers #1 on the hate parade are: Calgary, Vancouver.. naturally .. LA.. I guess for the consectutive playoff beat downs.. Vegas (happy to know the hatred is mutual.. so their pain will be even deeper when we crush them) .. interestingly Florida hates Tampa and Vegas before us.. but we still rank top 3 !

I think how good a team is at any moment also probably impacts this. If Vancouver was anything other than pathetic, I probably would hate them a lot more. I have in the past, but currently they are below Florida, Vegas, and Toronto for me.

Who are the teams that nobody hates?
Buffalo
Columbus
Detroit
Nashville
Seattle
Utah
Vancouver
Winnipeg
Imagine being that irrelevant.
With Seattle and Utah, I guess they are new.
And Buffalo, Detroit, Columbus, and Vancouver are just sad franchises (Buffalo less so now, so maybe people will begin to hate them). Nashville and Winnipeg are a little surprising.

Pretty funny. Flames vs oilers fan hate is the 2nd biggest differential one at 70%. Behind Mammoth fans hating Vegas and Vegas not caring.
