The man who provides the 'vision' for the team to the owner. That is who Kevin Lowe is. That man you saw on TV the other day completely unprepared and unaware that the media wasn't going to blow daisies and bubbles from their collective butts. This, supposed 'world-class' manager can't even handle a rightfully angry fan-base who dare question his mighty intellect and unassailable expertise of the game that there could not possibly be another person even remotely as qualified as he.
Oh it's ok, cause he apologized for a classless and completely unprofessional statement because he was either unprepared, or perhaps, so arrogant as to believe that his poo doesn't smell and all that he says is gold and should never be questioned.
I think the comment towards Katz by Tychkowski in that the Oilers is being run more like a "tree fort rather than a professional hockey team" really exposes the truth of this team, and is something I've been basically saying for years... Expecting big changes? Good luck with that.
Kevin Lowe burns up goodwill practically faster than even the Biebs can manage to!! Do any of you really think that MacT, even with his obvious intellect and calm temperament, is going to be met with open arms by other GM's in the league, when KLowe is still here? I'd love to be wrong, but recent history doesn't favour that here. Expect massive overpays or boat-anchors.
big meh to it all, and he would probably have been better off skulking back to the tree fort and playing with his rings with his pal Daryl.
