Kevin Lowe is the one that should have fired himself. Tambs was likely hamstrung. It isn't like KL had a stellar GM rec, and Tambs was the fall man if they didn't win this yr.
Regardless, I think Kevin was the puppeteer and is Oil's answer to Ken King.

so is Ken King interviewing Tambo

Did I strike a nerve? If he is so terrible, then why is he still on the roster? Shouldn't he be down in the minors? And to say that Smid "plays very excellent D" just shows how much you know about hockey.
- RedwingsAreKHL

That is just a stupid basis for a players abilities "he's on the roster so he has to be good" freaking idiotic. He has played 4 games this year and pretty sure at this point with his age and games played, he would have to clear waivers to be sent down. My opinions on Smid may be biased due to my subjective view of the team I love, fact of the matter is, I have actually watched him play with the team since coming to the Oilers in 06. You might wanna actually watch hockey for more than a couple years, and the particular player himself in more than just when he plays the kings, to pass judgement upon him.

Rocket science Tambo was fired moron........how many times did I tell you it was MacT taking over.......Smid going nowhere......Horcoff is good as gone.

Sarcastically, I'm in charge.

Great movie

Probably so! Fester is 50/50 to return. Or, Howson.
We are f-ed.

Nick and Smid are in the top 10 for blocked shots in the league. You know how many dmen there are in the league. You know why a dman blocks a shot? Because he doesn't trust his goalie to. When smid and nick are blocking shots, they are not covering their men. They are motionless. If a team has confidence in their goalie, then they allow them to handle the shots, like they did with habby and backlund the other night. It didn't turn out well but the dmen took the passing lanes and let habby face him one on one.

not true at all. blocking shots is a huge part of the game nowadays..for every team.
if a puck doesnt get to the net, it cant go in. it's not an indication of confidence in ur goalie at all.
volchenkov was a shot blocking beast and paid big dollars for that reason to play in in front of brodeur..is this why?

letting the shot 'get through' or the goalie 'taking the shooter' scenario is during an odd man rush. not under normal circumstances at all.
and they dont just flop and stay there.

this was a bad post

Something tells me you also picked Hemsky to be traded the last 3 deadlines.
Playing armchair is easy after the fact. Unless you are on rec, you have no pt.
Having said that, Clout thought it'd be Howson

Ive said this for a while. I think many forgot the kind of GM Lowe was.

Did he give you a dutch rudder?

Oh god yes... I finished it off with a Longbottom

I haven't. Vanek and Penner.





Lowe, like I said, is KK north.

Lets not and say you're gay.

Not sure you're qualified to make that sort of remark, unless you have a business degree from Queen's University, or have more Stanley Cups than everybody else working in hockey right now (except for one).

PS with all the TPB references in here it is with heavy heart that I inform you the guy who played Philadelphia Collins died today.

interesting theory.


I think its stupid though.

I believe you. However, did you also overinflate AH's being traded and eventual return?

interesting theory.

Cool thing about the internet is:

I have two pHds from Oxford and MIT and Im an astronaut/theoretical astrophysicist. I won 12 Stanley Cups while creating quantum mechanics and inventing the internet.

Therefore, you're gay. I win.

interesting theory.

- robin_steele264

Orpik, Seidenberg and Girardi are all top 10. No trust there for Fleury, Rask or Lundqvist...

can't wait for the next episode of oil change.
