The Edmonton Bureaucrats?

it's interesting that the most valuable football (soccer) franchise in the world is "futbol club barcelona". the top five, indeed the top 20, have similar nomenclature. their success is based entirely on their on-field performance, not their names. and their jerseys and logos and souvenir items sell world wide.

Oilers kicking things off on Jan 13/14 with a back to back against the Canucks.

The first Battle of Alberta is February 6.

Oilers vs Van - everyone looks great in training camp but same old story after the first game. Terrible performance.

Vancouver got the job done - no rust with them - no issues with not playing pre season games. No excuses.
