Remember when they fired Drew Remenda after like 1 season doing commentary because he wasn't enough of a bootlicker?
Frankly, it's fine. The Oilers broadcast can be as embarrassing and homerish as they like. Colorado does the same thing - it's ownership pressure that determines these things.
But do not, under any circumstances, allow that broadcast team to be used for games involving other Canadian teams. In every single case, if they're playing another team that has a local sportsnet crew, that other crew MUST call the game. Zero exceptions, ever. No one outside of the Oiler fandom should ever have to be exposed to them.
