Dear Canadians: Here are eight reasons to hop on the Edmonton Oilers bandwagon
It's not easy for hockey fans to hop on another team's bandwagon. Hockey is a pious sport, rooted in tradition and fealty. Fickle fandom, like you might see in the NBA or the NFL, is anathema to the spirit of the game.
Indeed, as an Edmonton transplant raised to be Loyal to the Oil™, I found it nearly impossible to root for the Maple Leafs when I moved to the Big Smoke, even as my team suffered through a Decade of Darkness™.
