And how did that work out? I think people ought to cut the Oilers a bit of break, because it might take a while, but this will be a good team.

I seem to remember Colorado was the best team in hockey (or one of them) for like a decade.

They were five years apart

I think the Lindros trade turn the tide for them, but yes it does take time.

It was the Roy trade that turned it for them.

The first round pick, with which they picked Thibault, they got in the Lindros trade allowed them to trade Thibault to Montreal for Roy.

Point stands...

I posted the link to this on page one.

write about your own team. You must know something about them.

You don't know about the Oilers but you know they will get you lots of hits.

Wow didnt agree with anything you said in your hotstove blog about the Leafs but in this blog all your points are bang on with the exception of Scrivens. He is a good young goalie but with that defense he is on an island.

Perhaps you just can't see objectively when it's about your team?

Maybe I was just out to lunch, either way, all good.

C'mon JT

Leaf fans are always rational and objective when it comes to their team. By far the most level headed and intellectual fans out there.

Clearly you were totally out of line.

I think a retraction and public apology are due.

The media are the biggest douchbags when it comes to the oilers. Dregger seems to have a agenda where it comes to the Oilers. Always stirring up poop with his lies.

in a signal of team unity and protest - perhaps the Oiler's players should
1) refuse to play tonight with MacTavish behind the bench
2) send a message to Katz to fire the entire management team

it really is quite strange... Gretzky wasn't very impressive in many ways in Phoenix... and the other Oiler greats haven't exactly repeated their on-ice success while in management.

Perhaps - just perhaps - its time to move on from that "80's show".

Actually... I think making Glenn Healy the GM with Dreger as assistant along with Damian Cox would be perfect.
Why! the only thing they would accomplish is unloading all of the Oilers best players to Toronto and in return getting Toronto's castoffs.
