I know I don&#8217;t have to tell anyone here about what a long, dark slog it&#8217;s been since the halcyon days of spring 2006. We&#8217;ve all dealt with it in our own ways; some of us drink to excess, while others have taken to screaming into the void that is Twitter. Local Edmonton comedy troupe <a href="https://mostlywatertheatre.com/">Mostly Water Theatre</a> has taken to writing hilarious sketches about the never-ending darkness that is Oiler fandom!

Many of you probably watched their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCqEVr4soLU">original video</a>, in which a time traveler visits a group of Oiler fans during the 06 Cup Run to warn them about the extreme lows that will soon follow. Five years later and&#8230;. not much has changed around here.
