No, that's the definition of screwing your own franchise. The Kings did nothing wrong to lose a game 7. Selling Gretzky and then feeling pain is just desserts. It's not the Kings' fault Oiler fans are still Oiler fans.

Nope, no pain since we got McDavid.
Imagine how it feels to be a Canucks fan. Or Sabres. Those are the 2 saddest franchises in the NHL.
On the other hand, the NY Islanders may never ever win a cup again, but they've got 4 with legends like Bossy, Trottier, Tonelli, Nystrom, Potvin, wow.......there is absolutely no need for the Islanders to win a cup ever again. 4 straight banners and 5 straight cup appearances.
At this point, McDavid has nobody to blame but himself. As an oiler fan, watching this guy haul in 15mill a year or more, I wouldn't cry about losing. It just feels a bit different and I expect an Oilers win. Let's see what happens.

15 years later and you still see Wings fans crying about the 09 SCF.

It's not Oilers' fans fault their owner traded the best player to ever live for money.

Honestly, I think too much is made out of it. It sucks the night of but ultimately the run is still super fun

Edmonton made a series of it. McDavid proved he is the best out there, nearly carrying the whole team. Also, a rocking crowd. It stings, but not a lot of shame in this. They're also in by far the worst division and will be right back in the conference finals or beyond next year. Draisaitl could use a heart, though.

I'm a Wings fan and it sucked pretty bad when we lost to the Pens back in 09. The only saving grace there was that we got to witness the team win the cup a year earlier.
I imagine it really sucks for the Oilers. They make a full come back only to lose by one goal there in the end. Granted their best guy didn't show up in the end, and sometimes that's what makes the difference.

I'd imagine it is a lot worse for fans/players who have never won the cup or seen their team win the cup before. It hurts the most realizing how difficult it is to make it this far, and knowing I might never get the see the Oilers win the cup now.

There is one thing more devastating than losing game 7, losing game 7 in OT.

Just had my memory jogged that Steve Thomas is Adam Henrique's father-in-law.
