No one pulls their goalie in a blowout.

You suggested the Stamps were a mess for 5 years and that was followed up by another by saying "at least 5 years" and they stayed that way until the Flames saved them - which is not true at all. It was three years and they were saved by Ted Hellard and his group. Let's give credit where it is due and not exaggerate the one down period the Stamps have had in the last 30 years.

I like that you filled in my missing or misplaced information... I thought your recollection was pretty spot on, and I said "oh yes" that was missing or that's what (really) happened as I read it. I wasn't really going for accuracy - just comparing the two from my flawed recollection - the point is, that we had a terrible owner that meddle with the on field product when he had no idea what he was doing, put pieces in place, and removed pieces, that really made no sense as far as football operations go.

Just like what Katz is doing - how many GM's or VP's of Hockey Operations, or Presidents' would survive what Chia or MacT or Lowe did... I mean just the Griffin Reinhart trade would (or should) get at least one of them fired... unless Katz made that call himself, which is totally plausible and probable and I suspect it's the case. Jay Feaster did far less, and his mistake over that Colorado offer sheet didn't cost the Flames a thing, and he was fired over that (which could have been just an excuse). Regardless of whether Katz hired incompetent mangers he idolized and/or he made those bad decisions himself, the problems still remain at the very top, it's not Todd McLellan's fault or Hall's fault... you can shuffle those deck chairs on the Titanic Oilers all you want, until you solve the issues in the Captain's chair - that ship is still going to sink and stay at the bottom.

Solid point but i dont think the poster meant EN goals. Garbage time goals when the other team has let off cause the game is well in hand, so Leon and Dingles pounce while getting triple shifted and rack up their regulation loss points.

The closest thing I can think of to the Griffin trade was the Feaster offer sheet to O'Reilly. Most Flames fans turned their backs on Jay after that one. I mean I remember a few posters trying to wade through the CBA legalese to show that ROR might not have to pass through waivers... Might not. And it's still a better move that offering everything for Griffin Reinhart.


Everything about that Hamilton trade is just amazing really.



Chiarelli gets out bid and decides to toss his picks into the river if he can't get what he wants. Such petulance. Such hubris. Oiler for life over there.

Whoever was controlling the Coyotes had their controller disconnect somewhere between the blueline and top of the circle. Not to take away from that goal because it was pretty nice but like, I dunno, keep skating just a little bit?

Uh oh. Cup parade cancelled again.

Oilers fans were probably very happy with their OT wild card watching. Then mighty Coyotes reminded them how no good they are

Hockey night in canada basically called the oilers gutless tonight and were bewildered at the lack of effort in a game against a depleted Arizona team that they needed to win.

Don’t worry, the tone will change when Louie will suck up to Nurse and then they’ll have Anderson in there to spin some more yarn.
