I really do feel bad for them. Their fans deserve better. They've been very patient. That's why I always get irritated when Oilers fans justify winning the lottery and stealing CBJ's pick (being a good thing) by saying "we've put up with so much...we deserve this". The Oilers have how many cups and former legends? Columbus has basically nothing to be proud of so far.
Reminds me of this side-by-side comparison Mayor Bee came up with shortly after the lottery results:

This. So very this.

I also remember thinking Bogosian was going to end up little more than a second-pairing guy. The jury's still out, but this past year makes that look a little less likely to be his ceiling.
