Comedy gold out of Edmonton

[Bloody Brian Burke]

People trying to raise money in order to place a full page letter in the Edmonton Sun urging Daryl Katz to fire Kevin Lowe...

Letter to Darryl Katz in SUN by Kevin Lowe - GoFundMe

So, if I get what you're saying, Edmonton fans want to crowdsource an advertisement in a dying media when for the same price they could just buy a domain name and post the letter there, spread it via social media and have the same effect (none)?

Edmonton's fans are living in the same time period as their team's executives.

Yup, you're picking up what I'm putting down (lol)

The #Oilers have transferred forward Jesse Joensuu (@jouneri6) to SC Bern of the Swiss Elite League.

Man, going from Edmonton to Bern? Talk about going from the outhouse to the penthouse.

Literally came in to put this in here.

Eakins at the end. Wow. Just when you think it doesn't get worse for this team...

Speaking of not answering the bell, how does nobody even look in Getzlaf's direction after smoking the netminder?

The smart guy that Ben Scrivens is, he set a pick there too

Speaking of the price of oil - the Cons in both
All-butt-uh, and Squat-awah are madly re-thinking budgets and fudge-its, the provincials and the feds apparently are going to have to make do with 2-3 Billion CanS! lester this quarter - thusly blowing the Con-tingency funds right out of the fracking water. Well, at least the price of red ink will be going up. I know that 8-10 Effing LARGE don't sound like much to the South-of-49-ers (or, Niagara, if ya like) - especially after Dub-yuh got rid of 6000 of them, all on his lonesome. But in Canarduckia 10 B is a life and death proposition for about a third of the Pop. And one, all-the-eggs-in-one-basket governing bawd.

Curtis McIlhenny for Viktor Fasth.

Make it so.


I didn't see it, what brought that on? Fasth finally snap at the coffee table D coverage?





Also, on a personal note; My son is growing rapidly, so I am constantly buying him stuff to wear in practice that fits him. Yesterday, in dollar bin, I found a few pairs of socks. One pair was in the older, darker blue, white and bronze color scheme. I gave them all to him last night and he picked up the Oilers ones and said said "what team are they?"

"Uhhhh, Edmonton."

"Well, I'm not wearing those."

Guess I have two new rags for the car.

Jesus, Eakins doesn't even have the courage to look at him.
Talk about having lost the room

Hot garbage this team. Still hasn't stopped being funny though.

 

[mattola]

Holy shit

Eakins wow.



This management team is genius I tell ya..... Genius they have worked the last 5 years for this draft. They will get macdavid. This season is 100% planned

Eakins was fired. Because he was definitely the issue.

Edmonton Oilers @EdmontonOilers
The #Oilers have relieved Dallas Eakins of his head coaching duties. GM Craig MacTavish will address the media at 11:45am MT.

I hope this presser is as good as the last one.

Pretty sure in that last presser they basically said they were sticking to the plan, no one was being fired, no big players traded. Yeah, okay.

MacT said Eakins was evolving as a coach in the presser 10 days ago. I guess he didn't evolve quickly enough to avoid extinction.

Sounds like something out of the Young and the Restless:

@agrabia: I love the Oilers. Ex-captain becomes coach, is fired as coach, then brought back as GM. He then fires coach, and makes himself coach.
