Blue Jackets and Local TV Station Mock the Oilers

When you've missed the playoffs for nine straight seasons (soon to be ten, let's be honest), have picked first overall in four of the last six seasons, and still find yourself in 28th place everybody can take shots at you. Everybody. That includes the Columbus Blue Jackets and a NBC4, a local Columbus television station.

First the Blue Jackets ...

.@nbc4i we're sure the @EdmontonOilers can't win this...right?

.@BlueJacketsNHL Yes they can, but we're not sure even $1.5 billion would help the @EdmontonOilers win a #StanleyCup https://t.co/SlxqFa1Huu

Sometimes the truth hurts.
