- Some girl working at a grocery till in EDM telling Penner she’s the only one in her house that doesn’t hate him.
- He scored 30 goals for those ingrates and they relentlessly booed him. The interesting part is how they explained the post Oiler bump. It’s one of the hardest places to play, so every where else is easier on a player. |
Lowe is outright delusional, trying so hard to modernize the 80s Oilers, so none of this is a surprise. He went in there with that speech as president of hockey operations.
And for when players don’t lick his boots or push back and or want out, like clock work, he calls up Staples, Jones, Spector, Matheson and the crew to likely rip said player, knowing thst the press know that’s its now their duty to lay the ground work for this guy leaving so the fans hate him, which means his departure will overshadow the return, and, the mismanagement of said player while he was an Oiler.
As Flash said in another thread, you saw the media up there turn on Chia is the matter of a few days 4 or 5 weeks ago. Fans lap it up, national media picks up the story, and it’s suddenly now all Chias fault, signing of Koskinen is Chias fault, and it just covers up all the ineptitude that Chia had to deal with when hired, and again when the coup from the executive was playing itself out.
