Don Brodka Jr Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Hmm, Interesting hire I suppose The Edmonton Oilers clearly don't care about Teenagers being raped by their hockey coaches.. The City of Champions indeed! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Dad seemed to be a genius but a bastard behind the bench, but was fine off the ice and as a manager. I wonder if he's disappointed in his son. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fathers tend to forgive, unfortunately those who have been abused can never forget. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL and its pom pom supporters with their biases and slanted agenda. Tough to block it out sometimes. The absolute love of the game keeps me around.

DSVII Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Disgusting. And speaking strictly from a hockey executive standpoint, Bowman is as good as Chiarelli. Inherited a cup winning core and went on to screw it all up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I'm going to have to go to the dark side, I refuse to give SN any more of my money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I'm all for poking fun but nah The response to this move has generally been negative, from Oil fans and others And from a hockey standpoint that makes sense, Bowman made some really shit moves later on in his tenure Panarin for Saad, giving up Teravainen to dump Bickell, Boqvist, the 12OA (Sillinger), a 2nd, and a 2022 1st for Seth Jones and Tampa's 32OA.. Oil brought in a PR disaster for a guy who probably doesn't really improve on what's already been done before he got there https://committedindians.com/stan-bowman-history-as-chicago-blackhawks-gm/ Edited July 24 by Coconuts 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombieksa Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Not going to lie, it would be hilarious if this hiring caused the leaving of some of their star players. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJCF96 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 This will never happen, but I hope to see the fans boycott Oilers games: Oilers Home Games: no home fans attend the games in-person until Bowman is fired. Oilers Road Games: Any game featuring the Oilers as an opponent on the road, it should also be empty seats only. Do not stream any Oilers games on Sportsnet+ or any other streaming platform. Hit them in the cash pocket and Bowman will be fired within a month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, their star players aren't the type of people that speaks up against moral/ethnic issues. Remember, back in the Bubble, it was the Canucks that initiated the conversation to postpone/reschedule the games. I am not saying this because I am a bias Canucks fans, but our core players are much better leaders for moral/ethic causes and just better people in the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jess Posted July 24 Popular Post Share Posted July 24 I have yet to see a single person who thinks this idea is even okay, never mind good. Even Oiler fans are losing their minds. I have a really hard time seeing the org going forward with this decision. When you have so much intense backlash, including from your own fanbase, it should be a glaringly obvious sign that you fucked up. 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Everyone seems to be blaming Edmonton. But the person who is directly responsible for this is Gary Bettman. He is the one who allowed Bowman and Quenneville to be hired again. If the NHL simply kept both of them suspended indefinitely then we wouldn't be having this issue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
