Question for the Oiler faithful...Why wasnt Lowe canned too? Isnt he a big part of the problem?

he can yodel with a wrench in his throat

Richard, congrats on patting yourself on the back about predicting a hockey executive would lose his job.

Nothing else remotely important happened in the world today that was worth mentioning or a word of condolence.

Not sure about Him but here some of the guys including myself feel bad about what happen down there but life continues,there's lots of people that dies almost everyday the same way in the Middle East and not even a word here,again life continues.

no idea why he still has a job. this organization has been far too loyal to the boys club. i think firing tambs was just an appeasement move for the fans. or to maybe take some heat off of him.

he's never been able to build a real winner. i think he actually did a decent job at keeping us competitive pre 04 lockout when we lost every player that finally got to the next level...and this might have given him some years of reprieve after the fact.

but either way, no playoffs next year and he should be out the door

yup I agree,so Lowe needs his friend MacT to save him or Both are bye bye.

I just found the self congratulatory back patting without even a mention of condolences for what happened in Boston to be very off putting.

Just my $.02, by all means, please go back to talking about stuff that's obviously more important to you..I'm out.

not sure if He had to say anything or not,but most people here did and now move on to continue living.

You also said they would win the cup. Giving every prediction you can imagine, no matter how contradictory, doesn't warrant gloating when one of them turns out to be right.

Maybe firing Tambo was the right thing to do. Hiring MacT and Howson is definitely NOT!

The Oiler's as an organization are a complete joke. Sad day to bleed blue and orange!

I won't say definitely the wrong move till I see what Mact do once this Season is over.

It's that easy, hey Cloutier.

We'll see about that top UFA player, we'll see. You do realize those top UFA's can pick & choose where ever they want to play, hmm, Oilers - continue to lose year after year - we'll see how accurate you are.

High first rounder for Gagner - 1yr warrants that - I doubt it but good luck with that.

And for God's sake, you are NOT getting a 1st rounder for Hemsky - not a chance.

Again you speak pretty big but reality is, you are placing value on these players way too high, again good luck and we'll see what happens.

You might get what you want but then again, you may be way off as well.

it sounds like he/she is asking for Hockeybuzz and everyone else here plus Bloggers to stop living for what happens today.

I wish I had your sense of optimism.....remember though, this is a reshuffled version of the same management team that didn't do so well the last time around.

Just sayin'

Question.....is Howson now MacT's boss? Lowe obviously is. Anyone know? The titles would seem to suggest that.

I criticized the Oilers (for not having heart) on their precious little Facebook page, and those (frank)ers blocked me from making comments. (frank) whoever did that... You're a twat.

How dare you point out the obvious!

Gagner= Best OVERALL Oilers player this year.

Let me explain: Taylor Hall is great, don't get me wrong. But he is not defensive at all. He has 41 points, and is on the Power Play. Sam Ganger, someone who was trade bait last year, has stepped up his game big time. He plays on the Power play, PK, and has 33 points.

Hopefully Smid can stay.
- Oilers4Life14

WRONG! Gagner has been good, but Hall has been the best Oiler by far.

Trade for the rights to Mike Smith!!!!!!!!! Then sign him and show the commitment.

Force Ryan Smyth to retire by offering him a bench job or a vip helper to howson.

OF the four kids i would trade Yak first to get the big "wow" players

I hope the bold move is Shae Webber. WOW

Jesus christ man.. Mike Smith is Bryz 2.0.. Adding Smyth to the front office just adds to the old boys club mentality. Yes, yak for Weber book it...
