Lowe hired a GM with no experience, who then hired a head coach with no experience who had to coach a team filled with inexperienced players.

I don't think there's going to be any apology letter this year. The last one didn't go over very well. Interesting that we haven't heard a peep out of Mactavish for a while. I suspect that this is the new strategy. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.
It's just a small blip in his article about the Oilers not being good enough. It's not a breaking news thing, he just mentioned it.
I think it's fair he put that in his article because it's true.
Our team might, but so much of this is directed at the fans. Everyone likes high picks, they just wouldn't admit it on these boards. No one wants to lose, but everyone likes getting top tier talent. Where's all the hate for Florida, Colorado and Buffalo? There's **** all on these boards about those teams.
Personally, if another team racks up a bunch of picks, I don't really care. I really only care about the welfare of my team. If some other team sucks as bad as the Oilers, the last thing I'm going to do is revel in the misery of another team's fanbase. I just don't get the joy this board takes out of giving it to Oiler fans, This team is ****, yes, so why don't they attack management and coaching instead of laughing at the fans?
I don't care how critical you are of your own team. When I check out your board's GDT's against the Oilers, every time I do so it's just filled with insults and derogatory statements. It isn't just the tanking aspect I see, there are insults at the fans and the city itself.
It's just salt in the wounds. I wouldn't care if this team was half-way respectable. But it's more than a little annoying when we are tortured by this team, and get spit on by other fans as well.
Who cares about them. We will be calling that finished franchise the Las Vegas Something in a few years lol.
See, another insult. It seems to be ok if your fans say something, but we can't. By the way, how's your weather?
Look, you need to understand something about HFOil.
We are a very bitter, angry bunch. We hate everyone in the NHL because of how much better they are than us.
Since we aren't able to take out our frustrations on the team we do so in other ways.
LOL, I understand, but how do you think the Coyote fans feel taking abuse for the last five years. We had TGO for five years and he set us back 10 yrs with his BS, and you guys have Lowe. These guys think they are god because they were good players, well, at least one was, and won multiple Stanley Cups. TGO was booted out of Phoenix, and Lowe should be booted out of Edmonton.
He should be. Will he? Nope. Why? Because our owner is a moron.
I guess you will have to go bankrupt so the NHL can boot out Lowe.
I don't think he'll get booted out for years. The fact that Katz didn't let him take a sabbatical speaks enough. Our owner is as bigger as an idiot than Lowe is. Friends for life.
Chill out! The Coyote fans hear a lot of crap from other fans and the Canadian media. All we have been hearing for the last five years is that we are going to fold, hockey will never survive in the desert, there is no fans in the desert, move the team already, the team is crappy, team will finish last, etc. etc. So don't tell me that your feelings are hurt, because I really don't give a damn. Your just insulted because your team is run by a bunch of morons and no good players want to sign there. Oh, by the way, I lived in Edmonton for twenty years, and now have lived in Phoenix for twenty, both great cities.
Maybe we are using all the wrong alumni.Messier is just a "consultant"
he specifically mentioned personal attacks towards the fans and the city. I don't see what your post has to do with anything here.
Your suggestion that he's insulted because the Oilers are run by morons is insulting in itself.
Messier is just a "consultant"
Who else do you have from the TGO and Lowe era involved with the Oilers?
Yep, I'm mistaken. You're right. Katz it's clearly a puppet master that wants us to play poor defensively and continuously lose games so that he can move the team to Seattle. The whole "new arena" thing is just a diversion to throw people off.
