Dallas 6-1-1 on the season & we're 2-5-1, yet most are picking us to win this? I wish I could share that optimism, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Because people who cheer for/follow a team generally don't go into every game expecting the team to lose, otherwise why would they cheer for the team?

You've created a false equivalency. I want the Oilers to win every game because I'm a fan, but that doesn't mean I expect them to win. The two concepts aren't related. It's like saying 'why would you buy a lottery ticket and not expect to win'? It's because I like the possibility of winning 20 million, but certainly don't expect it to happen. It's a conflict between want and expectation.
I do expect the Oilers to do well tonight. Dallas is a very good hockey team but the Oilers should be better than 2-5-1.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
