A promotion from within maybe. Or is that even still possible? Haha

  1. MacT will take the blame for the oilers performance
  2. Lowe will say he has faith in MacT and Eakins
  3. Lowe will tell us how they're building a winner and how things are turning around.
  4. Lowe will berate the fans for throwing jerseys, booing...
  5. Lowe will berate the media for all the negative press.
  6. Lowe will tell us how great he is
  7. Lowe will continue to tell us how great he is
  8. Lowe will tell us how great Katz is.
  9. Lowe will tell us how great Katz thinks he is.

"We're all unhappy with losing
-we see positives in our game that will translate to winning
-We've been unlucky. Blathering about fancy stats will go here
-I see Eakins as a 10 year guy.
-Shot at fans"

Why would you call a press conference to not announce any management or player personnel changes? What an arrogant thing to do.

Although, if they announce that they are calling for calm, and be patient, because this team is going to be good, I'm going to laugh. What a fun train wreck to watch.

They are going to hire Ryan Smyth as a player development and psychology specialist.

A real manager would go all Yukio Mishima and commit public, ritual seppuku for such a shameful display to restore the honor of the franchise.




However, I expect nothing but excuses from KLowe & Co.

He's probably just announcing a sale on Edmonton Oilers sweatpants, just in time for the holidays.

The fact that Bob Nicholson isn't giving the presser would be my biggest concern if I were an Oiler fan.

I'm hoping Dellow gets up to tell us about how they're just unlucky and according to the advanced stats they can still make the playoffs.

No offense but Bob Nicholson doesn't possess the balls to fire the good ol boys.

Heard a rumor from a unreliable source. Eberle to Boston a confirmed trade. No return mentioned at all.

Take this as good as an Eklund rumor. I am not sureloss or missteeks, nor do I know the Orange Julius guy.

Thought I would share.

Seriously, a press conference about nothing? Do they think they are Seinfeld?
