Tom Sestito Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 http://oilers.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=34501 Edmonton Oilers General Manager Craig MacTavish will host a media availability tomorrow, December 5th at 9:00 a.m. at Rexall Place. MacTavish will address the Oilers performance through 26 games and take questions from the media. We will have the press conference LIVE on edmontonoilers.com beginning at 9:00 a.m. MST This could be interesting. Kevin Lowe hasn't spoken since the stupid "i know more about winning than anyone" fiasco, so they're obviously hiding him. Hopefully it's a crapfest like last time (below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sadly, no one is likely to get fired, but the media roasting should be worth it, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedMachine Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 That was a train wreck. Are they really blaming their current problems on success they had 25 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Sadly, no one is likely to get fired, but the media roasting should be worth it, nonetheless. For sure no one will. Rishaug tweeted Eakins is safe. MacT is the one addressing, and if it was someone else within management it'd be Katz speaking. Excited for the roast as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 http://oilers.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=34501 This could be interesting. Kevin Lowe hasn't spoken since the stupid "i know more about winning than anyone" fiasco, so they're obviously hiding him. Hopefully it's a crapfest like last time (below) If that happened in Vancouver!! Oh man the fallout would be legendary. Media would eat them. Well, it's gonna be interesting.

DeNiro Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 What an arrogant bastard. This highlights what's wrong with the Oilers. Too many people running things who are resting on their laurels. So what if you won cups in the past? That has nothing to do with building a team. His so called 3 year plan, is turning into a 8 year plan. I really hope they keep Lowe in charge for a long time.

Trebreh Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 They're just going tell everyone that tanking to get McDavid was the plan all along and that it's actually next year that they're expecting to make the playoffs. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Burrows 14 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Trade hall. Could get a huge return and he is often injured and plays a dangerous game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Taylor Hall was suppose to be Messier Yakupov = Bure Draisaitl = the next Kopitar lol Schultz = "I think that Justin has Norris Trophy potential" - Craig MacTavish They also have a depth defenceman for a Captain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 This is why NHL executives need to be extremely careful what they say to the media at all times. Man, it's been almost a season and a half since that and they're in a death spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Over 20 years since their last cup win and they blame some "residual effect" from a quarter century ago for their current ineptitude? I need some help with this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam13371337 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The Oilers are grandmasters of ruining Talent and its starting to catch up to them. First kid line of Cogliano Nilson Gagner declared by lowe in 2008~ turned out to be a miserable failure (though Cogliano managed to salvage his career elsewhere) Now they are ruining Yak, Draisatl, Schultz; and have turned Hall and Nug into entitled brats who use the excuse of their talent to make the same mind boggling elementary mistakes over and over again with impunity. (Hall especially guilty in this). This is starting to get on the nerves of teammates if one is to read between the lines of Ference's interview. Beyond that, the oilers have like 1 player~ drafted past the 1st round on their roster within the past 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
