Coilers fans upset lol

Notably absent from the Tambo press release was mention of his recent mastery of 'Hot Cross Buns' on the recorder.

I looked a little strange laughing for no apparent reason in my office at this.

Give him a lifetime contract!

From the Oilers site:

Kevin Lowe says, "Three years ago we asked Steve to begin a rebuild which we all know hasn't been easy. However, Oilers fans can take some consolation in the fact that Steve and his staff have acquired some amazing talent which will most definitely be the cornerstone to future sustained success for the Edmonton Oilers."

Yes, nothing like being horrible and acquiring No. 1 overall draft picks year after year after year. Give them both lifetime contracts!

Hasn't been easy??

dash, how does Lowe get away with this crap? The Oilers rebuild has almost been as easy as the Penguins when they picked 1st & 2nd twice in 4 years.

DaBolts, I think it's called being best friends with Oilers owner Daryl Katz.

Unfortunately it's tough to mess up 1st overall picks. Heck until the injuries piled up even Ricky was a good goalie.

Let's wait-and-see what happens with the new CBA, if the salary cap ends up going down as a result of the players share being trimmed from currently being 57% of revenues, the Oil will have some tough decisions to make in a couple of years.

True, but we've got to admit it's a nice problem to have. What's the word from Edmonton on the 1st pick? Yakupov, Murray or trade down?

Latest I've heard is that they're taking Yakupov, they think he's head and shoulders above anybody else in the draft (I'm hearing comparisons to Pavel Bure).

It would be the right move. The more goal scorers the better. Maybe all the talk about Murray was a smoke screen.

Anybody hear how long the Tamby extension is?!? What's the big mystery Edmonton? Talk about a Mickey Mouse organization.
