Disagree. Whether it goes up and down, the toilet is always full of p*ss and sh*t. And just when you think it's over, the next person comes along and fills it up with sh*t again.

Those are some good “no good” candidates! Thankfully the Oilers seem to have no shortage of those!

He retired!

Yeah, sure. He spend a lot of his time, either insulting fans, yelling about how great he was, and how every wanted to trade their roster for his. He has to be recognized as one of the worst executives in hockey. At the same time he got jobs for his buddies and firmly rammed his hands up Oiler GM's butts and used them as a sock puppet.

At the end of the day, he did things his way. Like a Vipa.

At the end of the day he was an ok two way defenseman who piggybacked his way into the hall of fame, and was a firm representation of never earned, always given.

Oiler fans should be celebrating his retirement.

Exit Stage Right Kevin . . . No Right . . . . the opposite of your left. Never mind.

Whereas I work very quietly in the shadows as a professional nameiatrist. I fix the stupid names that nameologists come up with on their bad days. I can't brag about my work because of the nondisclosure agreements, but let's just say there is a reason why I'm not drinking an ice-cold Coca-Cola Negative right now.

And as a nameiatrist, I say the title of this thread needs no fixing at all.

It's a Lowe down dirty shame.


I guess he finally weaseled his way into the HHOF, so he can ride off into the sunset. Maybe he's angling to take over Hockey Canada once they clean house.

Lowe stepping down is actually terrible news. I believe he us the biggest reason why the Oilers have been so incredibly unsuccessful for so long and was at the core of the culture and entitlement problems.

My favorite part about this guy is his name is OilerAnalytics and 95% of his tweets are purely subjective and driven from absolutely zero analytical analysis.

Exactly. In typical Oilers fashion, they are like a parody of themselves.

He's really putting the 'anal' in analytics.

How do you go from being swept by the cup winners to winning the cup just by laterally swapping your goalie and a few guys staying?

Also hilarious that they're the clear cut #1 in the pacific but are yet to win a pacific title over their entire rebuild

Meanwhile the Flames are at 2 in the last 4.

Oilers have been a FeW TwEaKz away for the past decade, or so they've told us.

I suppose, if by tweaks he means finding a whole top D pairing and proven starting goalie for league minimum while giving up nothing of value.

I also would have been happy enough with just the words "down" and "toilet" since thats really all you need to describe the NG's

He's the drunk guy leaning on a lamp post that Burke kept talking about.
