Totally understand and can appreciate your point of view despite being an Oilers fan. Just for the record though, the "City of Champions," was actually coined by Edmonton Mayor Laurence Decore after the Tornado of 1987. It was in response to the amazing display of how a city came together to support one another. This phrase is often confused with the success of athletics at the time (Oilers, Eskimos, Kevin Martin, Kurt Browning, etc).
On a different note ... I was at the game last night. No question who the better team was! It wasn't even close! Oilers have a long road ahead. - TeddyBearHair
He hates the Oilers for similar reasons I should. My early Hockey memories and where I fell for the game was the 88 finals against the Bruins. Also the 90 series. I did become a Bruin fans but instead of hating the Oilers I became enamored with them while they beat my hometown team and forced them to finish empty handed.
They are now my 2nd favorite team and it's very painful to follow them at the moment. So Erik, you could at least take some solace in the Oilers current misery.
