[News] Oilers fire Chiarelli. Nicholson: "There is something in the water here in Edmonton."

[Bunk]

Reporter intimating that the problem is Nicholson and the Old Boys Club - not the constant change at Coach and GM.

Nicholson responds by saying, you're right - too much change. Obviously don't change toooo much (like himself and the Old Boys Club).

LOLOL!

[OldSam]

Blah. Blah. Blah. Typical Oilers BS. Oooo, glory days question. Outright lying.

[GullFoss]

Kevin Lowe continues to do great things to lead the organization into the ground

Can we make Lowe forever a Flame?

[FLAMESRULE]

That would be poop. Everything about Edm is crap.

[Ozy_Flame]

Kevin Lowe is critical to the success of the organization. There it is.

Reaching out to Tier 1 fans

I actually think the media is doing a great job of hammering them with questions. Honest/hard questions.


(I should clarify - the answers are fluff/BS imho, but the questions thus far have been good)

That would have been the perfect follow up once he said that!

I hate it and worry it might actually penetrate their wall of stupidity.

Are you watching the same thing I am? That wall of stupidity appears intact and impenetrable.

"Kevin Lowe is SO important to this organization."

hehehe

[Firebot]

Oilers fans should rejoice, this news conference oozes confidence and that change will happen just not with Kevin Lowe and McTavish and any of the 80s glory players they are awesome, they are leaders, they won cups, they are our saviours

[VilleN]

Could this be the new E=NG thread title: "We've got good players! We've got good staff! The problem is in Edmonton's water!" ?

[Textcritic]

Kailer Yamamoto is "on the verge."

I thought Lowe was not involved with the "hockey side"?

[burn_this_city]

Not going to rebuild, shuffle the deck chairs some more.

[northcrunk]

Wait......since when does Edmonton have "high end" prospects?

[Ashasx]

The fact that they think they are close is the best news a Flames fan could hear today.

Nicholson: "We've got real good pieces. I believe a lot of the solution is right there in the dressing room. They just need to be more consistent."
