Fire Steve Tambellini

First of all: AAAAAAAUUUUGH!

Okay, now let’s get down to business.

According to the Edmonton Sun’s Terry “Homer” Jones, Steve Tambellini is going to get a contract extension because:

- The Oilers play terrible hockey (Homer Jones: “there’s no questioning the job he’s done in promoting Stu MacGregor to head scout, the acquisition of extra draft picks so far and the drafting itself”)

- We give a shit about the AHL (Homer Jones: “And there’s also the so-far successful steering of the new organizational development plan featuring the AHL-leading Oklahoma City Barons”)

- Excuses (Homer Jones: “injury”)

So here’s to [term not yet determined] more Lowebellinitastic years of the Oilers completely embarrassing themselves and their fanbase.

And what do us Oilers fans have to say about this? How about “AAAAAAAUUUUGH!”

Oilers Trying to Make Up for Losing Streak by Winning Multiple Games at Once

I went to a WHL game tonight only to come home to the Oilers leading The Shell Of The Team Normally Known As The Blackhawks 9-2. WTFOilers, and can they hold on?

Taylor Hall is Trying To Save Lives

We applaud Taylor Hall for publicly shaming a bad driver via Twitter:

Next time you’re out driving, remember that Taylor Hall may have already saved your life.

We still can’t believe the Oilers are (on pace to go) 82-0

2011/12 Game 1 Thoughts

Khabibulin looks good on the bench, even though it didn’t take the Oilers long to fall behind.

Jordan “Don’t Call Me Leslie” Eberle

I was seven years old when the Oilers won their last Stanley Cup.

I was four when Coffey was traded, five when Gretzky was sold, and all of eight when Messier was sent out of town.

My more formative years as an Oilers fan are punctuated with names like Mats Lindgren, Greg Devries and Gord Mark.

As such, I have moments where I am in disbelief that a guy like Jordan Eberle plays for my team.  I don’t understand how such an exciting, natural talent can exist on a roster that I cheer for.  I have trouble accepting that he’s on the ice scoring goals for my team and not against it.

And these moments of disbelief seem to be happening more and more frequently.

Jordan Eberle is worth the price of admission. And if you’ve purchased tickets for an Oilers game lately, you know that’s no small thing.

New shiny Ryan Nugent-Hopkins needs to brush up on his Oilers history. Right now it looks like he doesn’t know Petr Nedved’s #93 is retired in Edmonton
