I would like to thank Jim Playfair for his duty as a double-agent during his time behind the Oilers bench. A job well done Jim.

Thank you to GG for his continued ongoing double agent duty. Keep up the good work.

Oilers are a case study on how an organization can be completely blind to what truly ails them.

Kind of feel bad for Woodcroft. I don't know anything about him, but to get your shot coming up from the AHL to that disaster doesn't bode well. It's a a move you have to take, if you're him, but at the same time it's probably a career ruining move.

Continuing with the theme…Woodcroft’s first message to the troops will be…

EDIT: Sigh…someone please post the Skinner Simpsons Gif, because I am too much of a technopeasant to make it work.

I imagine the desparate trade of high picks and top prospects for middling talent is coming next.

Now Tippett can go back to doing what he loves... Not coaching the Edmonton Oilers.


I suspect he'll be behind the bench in Seattle next year, which will make the Pacific weird with Eakins in Anaheim, McLellan in LA, and Tippett in Seattle... all finishing ahead of the Oilers.

Bet Tippett finally called out McDavid after the VGK game and out the door he went.

Oilers are so desperate. Signing Kane and now pulling the trigger on the coach when this is all the fault of the GM.

I know the fans thought Tippett was the problem, but man he's the only coach that had that team playing with even a little bit of defensive structure and responsibility.

Oilers are probably banking on the coach bump where they win 7 of 10 which would keep them in the playoff mix

That explains why he skittered away so quickly after the game last night night. He knew it was likely coming.

Why don’t they just make McDavid the coach? I thought he already was anyway….
