Probably not the answer you're looking for, but...

I've caught most of their games for the past few years. 0 this season.

Honestly I'm still really bummed that they hired Stan Bowman as GM at the beginning of the season. It soured me on the team, and on the NHL more broadly. For survivors of sexual assault, I think it's an unpardonable situation.

I don't want to feel that way, but, I can't help it. Just can't watch the games anymore, even if they're free. Bowman's hiring was a message of empowerment to abusers.

I agree. I think hiring bowman was such a bozo move. I think it will curse the team for years to come, but there is also not much positive in this world so watching Oilers every so often makes things slightly better.

Thanks for replying!

That's fair.

Assuming you're an Edmontonian, the ice climbing world championship at the end of Feb could be good for some entertainment. Have to savour the few benefits of living inside the equivalent of a blast freezer.

Good luck in your search for that positivity, stranger!

Trying to move on from reddit and just seeing if there is a community here

A number of the smaller communities are a little sleepy, but will pick right up if you post to them :)
