Now all the Oiler mouthbreathers are being interviewed and of course everyone is saying that Bowman wasn't responsible for the Beech incident. ####ing idiots!! He may not have been directly responsible BUT he was the GM in charge of that organization at the time.

Taking the “us against the world” mentality to a whole new level. Edmonton is turning into Arrested Development’s Season 4 Sudden Valley

The Oilers just gave Drai and McDavid a great excuse to bolt and save face.

I love this hire. It will give us quality material to laugh at for years and maybe see them melt down even faster.

I literally don't get it. There are a ton of better candidates. Why go this route?

Yeah, this isn't a good look for the Oilers and the league. The NHL continues to be tone deaf and old boys club.

The NHL is turning into the crazy lunatic person if all the different leagues were a bunch of folks in a community.

Not the world, just all the decent human beings in it.

I don't think it's a good hire but both Sheldon Kennedy and Kyle Beach have said they are confident Bowman has done the work to change and support him coming back to the NHL.

He is in a tough spot, he is paid by the oilers, his radio show is a paid infomercial and now he needs to defend this.
I am going to have to listen to his show this afternoon.

Pretty scuzzy.

I don't care what learning etc he's done.

This is gross. Even for the Oilers.
