Seeing some of the things unfold in Toronto and all the tension between players, management, and the media got me thinking about the Oilers situation and the local media here. Do you think the Oilers, particularly Oilers management, have it too easy with the local media? You would figure after all these years of losing and the same excuses from management year after year, they would be getting more heat from the media. But to me, it seems like the local media is afraid to push buttons, ask tough questions, and criticize the Oilers. For example, nobody questioning MacT's crazy assertion at yesterday's press conference that Nikitin is a top 4 dman. It seems to me that the media just lets alot of things slide here. It sure would be nice to see some of the media represent the fan base here and grill management with some tough questions and call them out. Am I being unreasonable thinking the media here is too 'management friendly'?
