  1. Too many young bloods in this sub that want to ship out McDavid and/or Draisaitl.

    They don’t remember the decade of darkness.

    People have short memories. The “decade” of darkness didn’t end in ’16-’17. As great as it was to see the playoffs, and especially the 2nd round, again, the darkness continued for another 2 years after that.

    Holland picked up at the end of ’18-’19 with the Oilers dead last in the conference. Exactly where we are now.

    This season is so, so much like ’17-’18, just bitter, dumbfounding disappointment after a year when everyone did great and we really looked like we meant business.

    The big difference is that we’ve been building on success for a few years now, making this regression even more head-scratching. The darkness was never far away, apparently.

    The people who call it a decade of darkness obviously not fans of the team since the 90s. A LOT of shitty teams over the years, sure we had Dougie but we all knew we weren’t winning shit

    Highly inappropriate use of that painting. That is a guy with battlefield shell-shock, or as it’s now called PTSD. We just have a couple of sports teams that have turned to crap. Compared to that guy, we have nothing to complain about.

    Listening to Canucks fans stunt on us is hilarious, just straight up little brother energy. Little man syndrome = Canucks fans. They’re so touchy lol
