"Sweatpants and the All-Consuming Pursuit of Tiers"

[kipperiggy]

I voted for Tiers because I just don't like the next solution. It reminds me of the Final Solution. I really don't know why other than a common word.

I agree that perhaps Tiers should not even be eligible if it wasn't said by an Oilers coach but I'm not sure the rest of the options were in the first place.

Happy to revote but only if From Cup Lock to Knoblauch is an option!!

Muddy Sweatpants

The 'requirement' isn't just said by a coach. It's can be said by Oilers media, management or players.

Mud works for Edmonton. Whitemud, Mudcrutch...

[Radio]

I voted for "Mud, Sweatpants, and Tiers" because the All Consuming one just isn't really that good...or not no-good enough. In fact I am surprised it ended up in the finals, let alone out of the first round. Contender in 32nd Place is better.

I think the biggest issue is that none of the choices were up to the usual high standard set in the past.

And how did this escape my notice?

Maybe we should consider E=NG - Too Many Boo Boos

[CF84]

Because E=NG is so important, I like to read mine and the other arguments here with the passion of Hot Kool Aid.

Holland said something very similar in the coach-change presser, and I suggested it, but it did not gain any support.

"I call them boo-boos"

"We're kind of back to drip, drip, drip"


Pick two, you guys.

E=NG - "I think it gets to be more difficult when you have a 21 man roster"

[Eric Vail]

I thought the best one didn't make the tournament

E=NG: "We don't win as a team."

That shows the organizational cooperation in losing. It was also a direct quote of their coach.

[Radio]

There were a couple of Bumonton ones that sprung up not too long ago that were really good as well.

But Textcritic put out the call for submissions and I don't think there was much interest, so we only have ourselves to blame.

Let's take a Mulligan and redo the tourney! I am sure someone on CP can gather a comprehensive list of candidates.

To me, the quote isn’t referencing continuous improvement tweaks - the “solution” he’s referring to is what’s necessary to win games and, ultimately, the cup. With draft luck they’ve had, the “solution” should be in the room. Instead, they still don’t have it by their former coach’s own admission through this quote.

IMO, it’s a great encapsulation of the total failure of that organization to capitalize on their prior years of combined failure and blind luck.
