It's opening night at the Big Oil Arena, fans are pouring in excited to see the new additions that will lead them in the future. Edmonton fans know the team isn't going to be good next season, not at all, but the acquisition of MVP level player Bas O'Bigbers and the emergence of long time top prospect Rand al'Thor finally arriving has everybody excited for the season. It'd be a tough couple of years and fans were largely torn between the decision to blow up the core. Pasta the Turtle jerseys still dominated the stands with many other fantastic players not soon to be forgotten. The generally feeling amongst the fans, the atmosphere if you would is one of acceptance though. They can't change the past and know their team is going to get obliterated this season. All they can do is hope for growth and be excited for the future. Before the game, a call to each and every season ticket holder is held to explain to them the decisions made this offseason and invite them to center ice to meet the players and drop the ceremonial first faceoff. So begins the season.
