from Robert Thcykowski of the Edmonton Sun,
Some Oilers fans are now actually cheering for losses.
A city that once followed Mark Messier’s lead is now giggling about finishing last and weaseling into a better draft lottery position.
Seriously, Dishonour for Connor isn’t funny. It’s embarrassing.
That’s not what sports is about, it’s not what Edmonton is about....
Edmonton sports fans insist that their teams compete hard and win, that they be the gold standards in their leagues, the team other teams aspire to be on and off the field.
And now a segment of the fan base is actually cheering for the Oilers to lose, celebrating roster moves that might ensure a 30th place finish in the misguided hope that Rebuild III, centered around Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel, will somehow undo a decade’s worth of bad management, poor scouting and losing culture?
