Philip Larsen has left the Oilers to play in the KHL. Man, it's like rats deserting a sinking ship up north.

TSNRyanRishaug: Interesting move by Mactavish and Eakins. Firm move towards fresh ideas and new faces, much needed. Buchberger taylor made for P dev. role

Rishaug is such a mouthpiece for Lowe, very rarely critical of any moves the Oilers make. I see they brought in Craig Ramsay today as an assistant coach, well I don't believe he ever played for the Oilers, so that's a positive, I guess.

Craig Ramsay's not a bad assistant coach, maybe he improves their defensive side of the game - but they need to do a lot more than that

Ramsay will be Head Coach by November

I was going to say Thanksgiving, so that would be Canadian Thanksgiving as opposed to American Thanksgiving

Speaking of Eakins, it was one year ago today that he was hired by the Oil.

/he got rid of the pastries five minutes after being hired.

You can get rid of the pastries but you can't get rid of the suckiness in Edmonton

To be fair / reported, I probably wouldn't take that contract either.
Because it probably wouldn't be offered to me.

/Yay for semantics

When I watch how he coaches (collapsing in the defensive zone, clogging up the 4th line with multiple facepunchers, chipping the puck in rather than controlled entries) I start to think that a few pastries might be the only difference between him and

Randy keeps the pastries around so that he never has to deal with that evil toaster again

fak it sounds like Bob Nicholson is going to take over for Kevin Lowe...


I never liked Bob....

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Lowe getting canned? or losing business related responsibilities ?

Andy Strickland ‏@andystrickland 5m It's anticipated former Hockey Canada Exec Bob Nicholson is headed to Edmonton to become Pres/CEO focusing on the business side #Oilers

Leaving Lowe to handle the player/personnel side - Whoo, dodged that bullet.
