Yep. In a blatant attempt to save face of the GM who obviously isn't getting fired Oilers media is saying the Chiarelli did what fans wanted and built the Oilers to be big and tough to compete with the California teams and now the game has shifted to a speed/skill game and they are too slow.
You think Chiarelli wouldn't drive Lucic to the airport himself if he could get a taker for the face puncher and his $42 million contract? Flames didn't miss the playoffs this season because they lacked truculence.
