After several decades of constant disappointment, one Oilers Season Ticket Holder is Pushed too Far.
| 00:00 - 00:03 | The 2020 NHL Playoffs have officially kicked off. |
| 00:03 - 00:05 | The NHL has established two hubs here: |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | in Edmonton and Toronto. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | The Oilers have matched up against the 12th place Chicago Blackhawks, |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | and we've invited you here to discuss the renewal of your Season Tickets. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | This series shouldn't be a problem. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Mcdavid and Draisaitl will dispatch the Hawks quite easily. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | My friend. |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | The Oilers... |
| 00:30 - 00:33 | The Oilers were just eliminated by the Hawks in Game 4. |
| 00:33 - 00:38 | The reffing was biased against them for the first few games, but ultimately they didn't deserve to win with their half-hearted play. |
| 00:52 - 00:58 | Everyone except Kevin, Bob, and Ken, leave. |
| 01:12 - 01:15 | HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN?! |
| 01:15 - 01:18 | EVERY TIME THIS TEAM GETS THE SPOTLIGHT ON THEM, THEY CRUMBLE UNDER PRESSURE! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | This City, these fans, we've had enough of this constant disappointment! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | Oh God, I feel like I'm having a full fledged meltdown because of these idiots. |
| 01:28 - 01:31 | If this team would just play responsibly... |
| 01:31 - 01:33 | We would be off to the next round! |
| 01:33 - 01:37 | I feel like a battered house wife that keeps coming back to the Trailer Park... |
| 01:37 - 01:39 | Because my drunk husband keeps promising he won't hit me this time! |
| 01:39 - 01:42 | My friend, you cannot say offensive things like that these days! |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Fuck your empathy, and Fuck the Oilers! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | My friend, we all KNEW this year would be a Development Year. |
| 01:49 - 01:52 | Every year is a "Development Year" with these clowns. |
| 01:53 - 01:55 | "Sell'm Hope!" That's what the marketing department says.... |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | and every year I eat it up like a Pig at the Trough. |
| 01:58 - 02:00 | I've been stuck in this same shit since the early 90s! |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | Year after year, we're sold hope and delivered disappointment. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | And every year, they keep finding new ways to do it! |
| 02:08 - 02:12 | Yeah, we won that one series against the Stars in '96 on that beautiful Marchant Goal... |
| 02:14 - 02:17 | But they came back and kicked our asses for the rest of the 90s! |
| 02:17 - 02:23 | Even when they do something nice like that outdoor game in 2003, they play half-heartedly and let us down creatively! |
| 02:26 - 02:29 | Maybe the problem is me, maybe I just care too much. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | But is that really a bad thing? I like Hockey! |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | It just becomes too much... |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | Then there's 2006... |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | The team caught Lightning in a Bottle. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | They beat Detroit, San Jose, and Anaheim, all better on paper! |
| 02:53 - 02:56 | Only to lose to Doug Weight and the 'Canes in Game 7 of the Finals! |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Why? Because Pronger distracted the room telling them he was leaving the team. |
| 03:00 - 03:03 | And we all know it's because his wife found out he slept with that A-Channel chick! |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It's okay. Nobody thinks you're a whore. |
| 03:14 - 03:18 | To this day I still have visions of our dumbass defenceman injuring our Star Goalie. |
| 03:18 - 03:23 | And Ty Conklin losing us the game by coughing up the puck with 30 seconds remaining... |
| 03:25 - 03:28 | These days though, it's different. |
| 03:30 - 03:35 | The biased reffing against Canadian teams, Game 7 in 2017 against Anaheim, now this. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | And nobody seems to care or even listen; and in spite of all my anger... |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | we all know I will be back next year. |
| 03:52 - 03:56 | - because this team inspires Hope. |
