  1. He obviously did not do anything deemed unacceptable by the league or the NHLPA… so I cannot agree with Shauger introducing the pre-Columbus quote, as though there was no change. The Oilers need an old school, tough coach… they need to toughen up and grind!

  2. Katz, Jackson, Bowman, Coffey, and the core players who vetted Babcock are all low IQ people, period. Continuing to destroy this franchise. I am including the core players here, don't care WHO they are. The same CORE players who held for years unto Nurse, Skinner, Kane, for the sake of 'friendship' over 'winning', so they DO NOT KNOW what it takes to win.

  3. Raddysh bad signinng he only had 1 good season he's going to be a one hit wonder I rather they signed Ramus Andersson instead he 30 and he has better track record.

  4. bowman is taking to many risks. hiring m. b., trading nurse. do we even know bouch can play this season ?
    bowman gambled last season jarry, frederick… and lost.. and made the coach the scapegoat. if we do not make the playoff , pls send the whole management away.
