That's just awesome.

So, Kevin, what was the secret to all your Stanley Cup success? I don't think the current Oilers have a Gretzky or Messier waiting in the wings.

Again I use that word stunning in regards to Lowe....simply the most inept man in hockey today.

but......5 cups!

My oilfan buddies are absolutely livid. I believe the pitchforks are being distributed and torches fired up as we speak.

Oilers fan reaction: Tambo fired! Mactavish hired?!

[EldrickOnIce]

I don't understand the question - Lowe

[burn_baby_burn]

Unless, I have been given bad information. STH renewals have been out for some time with the usual renewal rate. I wonder, if Katz would have let a debacle like this to happen if STH renewal wasn't so high?

[cDnStealth]

WOW... Nice to see Edmonton media asking the right questions. I think the propaganda has worn off Lowe.

[mikephoen]

For those of us who haven't been able to watch, what questions have the media been asking?

He really did say that.

Love the fact that they mentioned Lucic specifically as the type of player they need to add.

You just know now that if they do happen to go after Lucic this offseason that Boston will likely mention some sort of tampering occured.

[Ashasx]

So MacTavish says he's impatient... I wonder if they trade their first rounder.

Unless it's Jones, they probably should.

Oh he was anything but joking. He was getting pretty hot under the collar at that point.

The Oilers are the man playing scrabble at 1:18.

(this is courtesy of my Oilers fan wife and her Oilers fan brother - both are pretty upset)

Haha.... that's where Lowe says "you can't say that"

[Igottago]

Suddenly it feels pretty good to be a Flames fan. The Oilers are such a joke. I hope the pundits that wet themselves over the Oilers starting ripping them like they rip the Flames all the time.

Last week on the fall guy







Starring Lee Majors and introducing

[Incogneto]

Lowe
GM --> Pres

Mac-T
Coach --> GM

Tambo
GM --> New Coach?

I'm a completist. I want to see it happen.

[puckluck2]

This has probably been said a dozen times but who cares? Lowe is the hand that controls the puppet.

They'll still be the special Oilers.
