Chia confirmed Todd was fired this morning.
What a bizarre way to handle it.

Not even Hitch can save the Oilers.
No one can.
No one.

Stauffer and Principe are the only interviewers. Talk about opening yourself up to a tough crowd.

What a dick move on the way he fired TM
That’s like a business trip with all of your workers and their supervisor, and firing the supervisor in front of everyone. Ridiculous.

Chia in a bit of a kerfuffle.
Lots of “Ahs” and “umms” with little substance.
Kind of like his team.

That was it?
"Sorry Todd but the team is good enough!"
I know its California but its still a little early in the day to have been drinking that much....other than maybe Gretzky but he lives there...

Wow. What a press conference. Chia is most definitely a lame duck GM.

They may have officially asked for permission yesterday, but given the close relationship between Hitchcock and Nicholson, there were probably back channel talks about this for a long time.
Similar to how everyone knew Peters was coming to Calgary before he officially left the Canes.

Speaking of comedy, this line from a Sportsnet article made me laugh:
"McLellan's teim with the Oilers has been a disappointment given the talent the team boasts - most notably Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl."
Phew! Good thing they didn't have to give three examples of all that talent they boast!

He wishes. That would be an upgrade on his current position.
