Peter Chiarelli 2.0
So this is why the Cup hasn't come to Canada since 1993, they have done moves like this.
With this move, maybe Vancouver gets past Edmonton and finally wins the cup.
The last two infinity stones for the oilers are tony deangelo and carter hart 😂
They probably did this because Jeff Jackson will have a hands-on role in any decision. The other candidates probably wouldn't accept Jackson having a say. Bowman would cause he needs to get his foot back in the door.
Suddenly, you can see no one, and I mean no one, will root for Edmonton this year.
"If you ignore all the unethical things I've done, I'm the most ethical person you can find!"
Garbage GM for a garbage franchise.
I do not agree with this at all. Absolutely shameful that Bowman and Quenneville were reinstated. The way it was done in a news dump reveals the NHL knows it was wrong. Other commentators have already noted how Stan rode the coattails of Mike Smith and Dale Tallon because his dad got him the job.
normally i would say banish anyone involved forever but if kyle beach is alright with these people working again than i am too. I believe no ones opinion matters more than his. A lot of people do use recency bias against bowman and yes his later years were rough and the core and the 2010 team was tallons work but bowman was the architect of the 2013 and 2015 teams and not many seem to either want to acknowledge that or simply don't know
Bring back Cirelli
Ron Hextall would have been a much better choice.
As a die hard Hawks fan I sincerely apologize to Oilers nation.
As an Oilers fan im trying to find any positives to this hiring but it looks like a huge step back from Ken Holland and thats saying something. I hated Ken Holland
Hockey Guy: Makes a video about reasons to hate a team
Edmonton that night: We have an idea!
An independent inquiry commissioned to investigate Beach's accusation found that Bowman's inaction aided further acts of sexual abuse by Aldrich. League commissioner Gary Bettman declared Bowman eligible to work in the NHL again on July 1.
Just watch Joe Quenneville will be back in the NHL coaching soon
NHL is fucking joke
I’m an Oilers fan, and I have always really tried to see moves that I think are dumb or bad or wrong from the perspective of someone who might actually agree with them. I honestly cannot find a single thing that someone might be a fan of with this move. As a person he is, at best, very controversial. And as a GM, he took credit for team that was largely championship material already and then promptly fumbled the bag (reminds me of Ken Holland in Detroit). This team is so good, that like Shannon said, the GM won’t have that many moves to make in this season realistically and they could’ve taken a try on a new guy. Baffling tbh
Dale Tallon not only built the entirety of Blackhawks dynasty, but he also built the Panthers who just won the Cup.
What a baffling decision.
So did the Oil decide they don't want to win the Stanley Cup anymore??
wtf Edmonton?
Oilers signed Evander Kane after he broke team rules with the Sharks. They signed Corey Perry after his release from Chicago. Now they sign Stan Bowman.
Next thing you know, they’re gonna hire Mike Babcock.
Nepo baby
This is shameful. Shameful that he got reinstated, and equally shameful that somebody hired him. Hockey still has a culture problem.
I heard the Oilers are going after Andy Dick soon
Oilers will still be the Cup favorite so who cares
👍🏾👍🏾
I thought my hockey newsfeed was hacked when I first saw this news…..now that this video is up, well it's for real and I'm not feeling this AT ALL. I'm not an Oilers fan, but I certainly feel for the Edmonton fanbase right now😢 Just a gut punch by the League to let this guy back in. I get that he's trying to improve himself, but it's still a bad look for the Oilers.
