Murray said it pretty plain and clear .............. he's the coach going forward. The only door he left open was if during his meeting with Terry ........... that he was directed to fire Bylsma. I DO NOT see that happening. Do you ?

Murray said as of NOW he's the coach.

I dont know....i kinda felt like Murray tip-toed around a lot of things in his press conference. He used a lot of "as of right now's" and is meeting with Pegula in a few days. He also said several players had complaints about Bylsma and that he needs to coach his players as individuals more and be less about "systems."
Of course, im not gonna get all Nuclear Hockeybuzz about it, because i dont know what's going to happen. I know this isnt the tradition here. I should call everyone an idiot and cherry pick statistics to support my argument and ignore others that counter it(not talking about you). Im going to go back to watch some playoff hockey.

Every single fan has a Edmonton Oilers jersey on holy poop

That's cool

My opinion is if he were going to be fired, it would have happened on Monday.

Unless a coach comes up that they can't pass up, I think this is still Bylsma's show next year

Why would it have happened Monday. Murray hasn't met with Pegula yet. That's when Ryan was going to be fired was after Whaley met with him, but Rex forced Terry's hand.

One can only hope, but no, I don't think it's likely. But he didn't say Dan Bylsma is my coach next year. He said "He's the coach today. I'm the GM today."

I don't see Terry telling Tim to fire him.

That's not likely either .................... look just give the dude a complete team before you put a stake in his heart. He deserves that at least.

I was backing him for 2 years, when very few were. Do you think there's any way in hell we'll have a "complete team" next year? What constitutes a "complete team"?

I think what's much more likely is the players pretty much all said they didn't like Bylsma's system. Some of which Murray openly agrees with and stated in his presser, others he thinks are players who probably won't be here's lame excuses. I think he will relay this info to Pegula and if Pegula doesn't like what he hears he will probably point blank ask Murray if he believes they should fire Bylsma. I think Murray likes aspects of Bylsma's coaching style but really can't stand others. If he believes Bylsma will change will likely come down to him staying or not.

During the 05-07 playoff season a couple of times I remember. But I guarantee if they were playing a team closer like Calgary or Vancouver you wouldn't see all Oilers jerseys. Buffalo is a lot more accessible to other eastern conference teams then Edmonton is to other West teams.

They're not all jerseys, they gave out orange shirts. There are a lot of jerseys, but it's probably not even half.

It is. So is the whiteout in Pittsburgh when they give out the white shirts. And in Calgary when it's all red. It's fantastic to look at, but it's not all jerseys, that's all.
