the rebuild will be going on for at least 3 more years... But I guess everyone else in the league would of won 2 cups already since you know the Oilers have been rebuilding for the last 6 years and STILL haven't won......

So missing the playoffs means you are rebuilding? So I guess the Flames have been rebuilding for the last 3 years?

So trading Ryan Smyth to the Islanders in 2007 for Robert Nilsson, Ryan O'Marra and a 1 st round pick was not in fact rebuilding????

You didn't follow the Oilers in 2007 did you?

Nice two franchises that have been pathetic arguing. Need Leafs and Isles in here and then there will be a helluva workout for the not so sober TommyC.

Written by a homer Oiler fan. I like Spec but he IS an Oiler fan and sees things in the same light as most of you guys.

How does anyone tell someone else that they should follow what they did when they haven't seen any results themselves.

On a seperate note, how many times can someone say 'they' in a sentence?

See the big difference is, outside a few reasonable Oil fans (ya I'd throw you in there), you guys have escalated the verbal diarrhea to a level equal only to our west coast friends. I actually enjoyed the banter with the Oil fans in the past because most of you knew what you were and what you will be (someday) Now its just arrogance at a Canuck level.

Have you seen our blogger? I don't take much seriously, because this site allowed the trolls for years and now they allow trolls to blog.

Ya JimmC I went there.

Youve gotta fight, for your right...to...not have trolls. It took me nearly 3 months to get a Flames ref. Every blog I'd write would be filled with Oiler fans commenting on how the Flames need to blow it up cause they suck the suck and it would escalate from there...meanwhile, all the blog talked about was the weather in Florida (if you catch my drfit).

What Clouts? Unbiased, professional journalism at its finest... He, like Ek has the inside track on all things Oilers... as I said Lahey, there are a few of you...

I think there is a big difference in that Calgary has some BIG parts that would be worth a lot in return. So if they actually tried, they could retool pretty quickly ala Ottawa. But the window on doing so is closing. If they wait too long they will be in the situation Edmonton was. And that is starting with virtually nothing.

Flames fans like to talk about a 6 year rebuild in Edmonton. That is not the case. After the 2006 cup run, they tried to make moves and get better but most of those turned out bad. The re-signing of Horcoff and Pisani, Penner deal, Smytty deal, Vanek offer, signing Souray etc, etc. After a couple years of trying that (It failed miserabley) that is when they decided to rebuild through the draft. So this is going into year 4 of that.

So both sets of fans are equally guilty of trolling the other. To say otherwise is also homerish...

I just don't get how he can write a piece about the mentality of Flames fans... What the hell does he know about how a Flames fan might be feeling?

Awkwardly enough...no updates on Backlund yet and he's not listed on their IR list either.

Actually agree with most of this


And frankly...I dont visit the Oilers blogs, so I couldnt say if Flames fans are as bad or not...but in here...they can be as homerish as they want, provided they are not slamming other peoples views/opinions.
