    This is common knowledge for most people aside from biased Oiler fans (haters according to them).

    This is getting brutal. Not to rag on Axe or anything......but this franchise has really blown it.

    True dat. Title prob shouldn’t be referencing one fan in particular but I’m sure it’s not intended to be mean spirited.

    It's all good. I don't take the title, or any of the comments in this thread, personally.

    In fact, it's hard to argue with the title. As it stands so far this year it's correct, the Soilers ARE back and it's painful to watch.

    The way I see it Chiarelli made some mistakes and it worked one year so apparently all was forgiven. It was going to catch up to them at some point. Maybe it's just happening sooner than expected?

    As OP, its not intended to be mean-spirited at all, especially to Axe who is a legend around here. Frankly it was just intended as a quick heads-up to Axe that I would be resuming calling the Edmonton franchise the Soilers, which is entirely for my own amusement and his mild consternation. Never thought this thread would go 1 full page let alone 6. But clearly there are a lot of opinions on the Soilers and what ails them right now.

    I am a Kings fan and I have recently been through the same trials with my team winning the Cup and then coming out the following year and soiling the ice with inexplicably bad play.

    I will say, in times like these, Oilers twitter is fun.

    Exactly. The chickens have come home to roost.

    The good news is that the Oilers specifically the coaching staff are starting to realize that Patrick Maroon is not that good. This should lead to him not being re-signed for more than he's worth (about $2.7M per season) or even better would be that he is traded for something near the deadline.

    Oilers in the role of the Black Knight (not to be confused with the Vegas Golden Knights)...it's just a flesh wound:

    Seeing as the "non-Oiler fans" enjoy going back to this thread after every Oilers defeat (which happens too often), I thought an Oilers fan would bump this after an Oilers victory.

    Surprised Kris Russell's perfect shot hasn't been mentioned yet. Best shot of his career!
