Dear Oiler Fans: an open letter to you from Calgary
 

I just got this in an email for some odd reason (since I'm in Manitoba and all and couldn't care less, but it is amusing)


It reads:


Dear Oiler Fans,

If you don't know how to read please get a literate adult to help you
understand this letter and I encourage you to respond but try to do so
using whole sentences.

A couple of very peculiar things have come to my attention recently, the
first is this car flag thing. Lets just all admit that this is a Calgary
Flames fan idea, I would like to offer this as the first piece of evidence
that Oiler fans are jealous of Calgary. It appears to me that Oiler fans
are completely fair weather as it gets, these Oiler flags have been
available all year but it seems they decided to put them on after the first
round, you got to love Edmonton's belief in their team!

The second peculiar thing is "The Blue Mile"... Where have I heard that
before? where where where... OH I remember! CALGARY with it's Red Mile, I
will offer this as the second piece of evidence that Oiler fans wish they
lived in Calgary. Come on, any person with half a brain could have thought
of something, ANYTHING, more original. "The Oil Slick", "the goal light
district" ANYTHING!! The truly amusing thing is the Red Mile (or 17th Ave
S.W.) is what it is due to the fact the Saddledome empties into it. In
Edmonton after you leave Rexall (or whatever the name is this year) you
have to travel through 20 kilometres of ugliness, concrete, mullets and
people with no chiclets before you get to Whyte Ave. Maybe Oiler fans were
just unclear on the concept. In addition the Red Mile in 2004 had a special
feel because we beat the best!! This year the Oilers have had to beat the
worst the west had to offer so please don't pretend to think you have
anything on the aura of the 2004 Calgary Flames although it's clear by now
you wish you were Flames fans.

I am a little happy for the Oiler success this year it will give you
something to talk about that isn't 20 years old and involves Wayne Gretzky,
it will rejuvenate the battle that was missing for far to long in this
province of which you are the Capital...in name only, certainly not in
money, size, population and looks. ( I would take a FLAMES GIRL over a Whyte Ave dog any day!!)

In conclusion Oiler fan if you want to be Calgary Fans so much, just cheer
for Calgary, make up some of your own ideas and please please sign Roloson
to a long team contract. I can't wait until he lets you down next season.

Regards,
Flames Fans

LOL Go Oilers Go !!!! :thumbsup

I can't believe my first post is in response to a hockey thread... but I can't resist - that's hilarious. Long live rivalries that make sports so interesting :)

When They Start Start Calling Calgary "The City Of Champions" I'll read the letter.

Remeber these Oilers:

I am with Oilers!!!!

The honor is all mine. :thumbsup

Watch for a guy named MetaMan.... he's going to love this thread (if he ever sees it)

Funny as opposed to one year with Lanny the Moustache Macdonald? :1orglaugh
Don't be hatin'! As for the flags I'm pretty sure they've been around for years everywhere else! Calgary, don't be jealous and try to ride in on Edmonton's thunder! Jealousy is so beneath you!

Well this thread just got good. :D

Thanks Lance.

yeah, we'd be cheering for them, except that they were eliminated way back when by a team we've already beaten :glugglug

Somebody rattle Metaboy's cage.

I bet he'd have something to add to that.

yea no doubt
its like calgary in the playoffs all over again but in a different city
laaaaaaaame

OK now I'll go

Go Oilers GO

I loved listening to Jim Rome the past week+. I didn't realize how much Canadiens hated each other.

fuck edmonton a bunch of blue collar hippies, full of useless imigrants and drug dealers.

they want to be calgary, but just like the step brother edmonton, you're not part of the family.

please stop trying to be us, maybe just maybe you should all get jobs so the govt would actually have money to build you new roads and not spend it on the 98% lazy edmontonians. (dont pretend like you dont know what i am talking about, chances are if you're from edmonton you're on welfare or your parents are bums.

you see edmonton you may be the capital but your city is ugly, has less population and even less money. (which i am not surprised in because the majority of edmontonians look like they shop at winners and work for the city)

so edmonton your city sucks, and you're not calgary, please stop trying to be us.

o ya and vancouver, your city smells like chinese food, please everyone jump into the ocean for a second and you will notice the stench goes way, so maybe it's not the city, you guys just stink like chinese buffet.

o and montreal, frenchmen are lazy, you are like stuck up maritimers, useless lazy bums, please go get a job, or better yet please go kill yourself, i am tired of your inbred mati asses and your worst sounding accent on earth, please please die already.

Metaboy has SPOKEN

:D

Now that is what im talkin' Bout. Some Serious Oiler Girls willin to give for their team. Go Oilers! Edmonton throws some excellent sports parties.
:thumbsup

go oilersssss!!!! :)

correct, we are not calgary. because we've actually won the cup before, and will win it again. calgary never had the balls or skills to get it done. i'm going to go cry now.
