Blows me away how you can continuously be so pompous so as to cast aspersions to all the unwashed masses. Those masses being anyone daring to have a different opinion than you.
It's a discussion forum - it is perfectly ok for you to state your opinion/point without first belittling anyone who doesn't share your views (incoming victim post in 3....2....1...)

Don't worry man, I have no intention of commenting on your stuff very often anymore. You are just another person on this site who looks for things to complain about.
If the Oilers win the cup and it's not a sweep, I would bet someone will complain they didn't get the sweet. If in the cup clinching game, they sit back and protect a lead and it gets close but still win, someone will complain about sitting back. Or 1 day after the cup win, someone will post a complaint thread about the GM or organization on how they suck at drafting or the cap.
It took me awhile to get it but there is no changing these people. There are fans who complain to complain because that's what they like to do. Is what it is. No sense in me trying to change it.
I watched a lot of bad Oilers hockey over the years where it wasn't very much fun to be a fan. I took tons of shots from friends who were fans of other teams when the Oilers were bad. I choose to look at the positives and enjoy the ride rather than continuously seeking out the negative with the team or players.

See, again - one of the most consistently negative posters believing that everyone else is so negative and they're the true rays of sunshine. It's fascinating really.
I mean, RDOF, you have spent more time on whipping boy players than virtually everyone in here. You've spent more time grouching about other fans than just about anyone here. The only sacred lamb for you is management, which is bonkers, since they've consistently been the biggest factor in the team you love sucking and failing to contend.
Let's be clear - Ken Holland doesn't deserve much credit for the Oilers success to this point in the playoffs. He's added two important pieces in Ekholm & Hyman, but that's the sum total of his contributions in five years as the highest paid general manager in the league. Those three players with over 20 points? All those were here before he was. The team is right at the cap, the goaltending still has big question marks, the only player he got at the deadline in the lineup last night was a fourth line centre playing his 5th game of the post-season. He's a bleeping trainwreck. I don't think anyone should be shy about saying that. I mean, don't you expect that a team with two of the top five players in the game should be a consistent contender every season?
Maybe it's easier to just complain about other fans than it is to think at all critically about the team.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
