@JasonGregor The PWHA should start taking away votes from the people who do this kind of thing. If thereβs no consequences, theyβll keep voting for ridiculous choices.
@RickBellwrites Hey man, here's a big clue for you: it's the UCP's plan. Hope this helps. Perhaps you can refrain from carrying their water constantly.
@jm061015@Sportsnet I bet if Vegas hadn't have been fined & docked a pick for being dicks to the media a few weeks ago, he'd have just straight up gotten up and left.
@mathewjdp Yuuuup. Katz funds the team well and gives the players what they need to succeed off the ice and all that, but good god does he make awful decisions about how the organization is run. And always has
"Assuming there's no complications carrying forward with the #NHL, Mike Babcock will be the next coach of the @EdmontonOilers. It's inevitable."
-@Bob_Stauffer on @OilersNow this afternoon
@TSNRyanRishaug Can't be sitting there saying you're mad about the organization moving backwards and then being firmly behind a decision like this. They'll have to wear this too if it goes bad.
@KevinMcCurdy@coopsie39 Hasn't won a series since 2013. Only 6 series wins total since '08. I understand he has a good record, I'm not sold that makes him a good coach given some of the teams he was behind the bench for abd all of the confirmed reports of how hated he is among players. He's a POS. Pass.
@coopsie39 Is he a high end coach, though? He hasn't won a series since 2013. Even if you manage to put aside him being an absolute piece of shit of a human, I can't even see the argument that he is a good coach.
That'll be it for attending an Oilers game for me if so. Free or otherwise. I know I'm too much of a moron to be able to stop watching on TV, but won't send a cent their way.
Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.
