Just picked up a fresh jug of spiced rum and a 2L of eggnog. Should make tonight's game bearable.

Great point. Oilers games, especially during Christmas, should be enjoyable. Remember, they're a unit of entertainment not an emotional investment. I'm 5 or 6 days behind on my beer advent calendar, so I'm covered.

Last season, during our annual December decline I made a point to no longer make it an emotional investment. I have zero control
In the outcome. It was making me upset and bad games leaked into my overall mood.
I’m a much happier fan now. It’s frustrating watching them at times, but a good rum makes things better.

The Eakins Oilers broke me of my emotional investment. I actually enjoy the games a lot more now. I know the Oilers are deeply flawed team with a couple really fun players to watch. Sometimes those players cover the problem, sometimes they don’t. The true upside is the money I’ve saved.

Pretty much how I take these games. They are what they are. Take em for what it's worth. I used to watch every single minute of every game. Now I just channel surf and maybe catch the last period. Honestly this team was more fun to watch when we had Ryan Smyth, Ethan Moreau and Jason Smith over achieving then watching these sad sacks under achieve.
