If you want to avoid the monster truck announcer, Chris Cuthbert and Craig Simpson are on the SN Ontario channel.

Hmm, I'm thinking PoolParty should have tried the shot on that play instead of the pass...

Sure, but neither would Nuge even if he got his stick on the puck as he was in too close on Hutchinson.

Well, that was terrible defensive play by Bouch letting Hyman walk in for the goal.

You're assuming that the Oil wouldn't be called for such plays either, though.

Tipp sat out KRuss in favor of Bouch for tonight. I can agree that both of them should have been scratches because they really don't bring much, at all.

That man is a hero. If not for his quick thinking getting Chia to extend Kostko before Chia was fired, we would have actually had to put effort into finding a goalie in the summer.

You think we could have found 2 Mike Smiths? Not likely. There is literally only 1 Mike Smith. That plays goaltending in the NHL I mean. Of course there are many other Mike Smith's on Earth.

I like how he announced to the media that he was busy asking GM’s at the annual conference in Florida what would be a good fit for a GM on the Oilers. You know......because every GM wants to help the Oilers get better, right?

If I was a GM there, I would have told him Chiarelli is looking...

hehe, and his old buddy Kenny Holland giving him all the time in the world, teaching him what a POHO and GM actually do in the NHL to get Bobby up to speed after he fired Chia.

Bob is #2 in the firm among people I'd like to see dismissed, after Kevin Lowe.

So many embarrassing moments in his tenure here. Remember his "forensic audit"? Or when he promised to do an audit again a couple years later, with no evidence that he actually ever delivered the first one?

Who can forget his comment about Tobias Rieder, saying that if he'd scored 12 instead of zero, we're in the playoffs (the team was -42 on that season).

I think he hired his wife to do some work for the company as well.

Everything about the GM search was a tire fire. Saying that he needed to do his homework, telling the world that the Oilers had only done one job interview on their previous three GM hires. Constantly testing the waters on whether Keith Gretzky could just be the GM - including bragging that he'd asked other GMs how Keith was doing and was told that they think he's doing a bang-up job. Of course, asking them what he should be looking for in a GM as well...then half-way through the hunt, giving up completely on taking his time and doing his homework because Ken Holland was available, so immediately hiring a guy completely on reputation yet again.

I swear, every time I see him, I think Bob Nicholson looks wasted. Bright red nose, a little slurry.

Why Katz keeps clowns like that around, I'll never know. It's not like Nicholson's ever done anything actually hard. Virtually any poster in here could have picked Team Canada for five Olympics and win at least 60% of the time. Nicholson never really had the final say on anything anyhow. He's just an empty vessel.

Thank you, ChiaPet- you really @!$#ed the Oil with his contract, you POS.


The true enemy.



That man is a hero. If not for his quick thinking getting Chia to extend Kostko before Chia was fired, we would have actually had to put effort into finding a goalie in the summer.

You think we could have found 2 Mike Smiths? Not likely. There is literally only 1 Mike Smith. That plays goaltending in the NHL I mean. Of course there are many other Mike Smith's on Earth.

I like how he announced to the media that he was busy asking GM’s at the annual conference in Florida what would be a good fit for a GM on the Oilers. You know......because every GM wants to help the Oilers get better, right?

If I was a GM there, I would have told him Chiarelli is looking...

Bob is #2 in the firm among people I'd like to see dismissed, after Kevin Lowe.

So many embarrassing moments in his tenure here. Remember his "forensic audit"? Or when he promised to do an audit again a couple years later, with no evidence that he actually ever delivered the first one?

Who can forget his comment about Tobias Rieder, saying that if he'd scored 12 instead of zero, we're in the playoffs (the team was -42 on that season).

I think he hired his wife to do some work for the company as well.

Everything about the GM search was a tire fire. Saying that he needed to do his homework, telling the world that the Oilers had only done one job interview on their previous three GM hires. Constantly testing the waters on whether Keith Gretzky could just be the GM - including bragging that he'd asked other GMs how Keith was doing and was told that they think he's doing a bang-up job. Of course, asking them what he should be looking for in a GM as well...then half-way through the hunt, giving up completely on taking his time and doing his homework because Ken Holland was available, so immediately hiring a guy completely on reputation yet again.

I swear, every time I see him, I think Bob Nicholson looks wasted. Bright red nose, a little slurry.

Why Katz keeps clowns like that around, I'll never know. It's not like Nicholson's ever done anything actually hard. Virtually any poster in here could have picked Team Canada for five Olympics and win at least 60% of the time. Nicholson never really had the final say on anything anyhow. He's just an empty vessel.

Bobby is a relationships guy. Sometimes you need a guy that can befriend everyone and just take your winning hand you've laid out on a silver platter and make sure everyone is having a good time profiting from it.

Sure, he's having trouble pulling stuff off in an actual competitive atmosphere, but I bet he's still a great guy to hang out with while counting the easy money Oilers fans still keep feeding the org.

Oh yeah. When Bobby Burger 2.0 comes out, people will be damn happy Katz didn't fire him. Heard a rumor that some blue cheese is involved.

Although Lowe is a huge cancer tumour that it seems will never be cured, right now I feel Nicholson is more dangerous.

I would like to see him fired out of a cannon into the river valley.

I shudder to think where this club would be right now if Holland said “No Thanks!”

Keith probably would be the GM, and I'm not sure that the team would be much worse for it. I'm not sure that Holland has done a lot for the team to date.

I feel like Nicholson is the guy who'll promise big things, but always do the bare minimum amount of work.

I think both guys are poison for the same reason. Everyone in the organization knows they're useless, but they get big paycheques and big titles, and they're always quick to pass the buck and blame others for failure, while desperate to take credit for even a small amount of success. It is just toxic to the culture. Both of them really need to go, even if Lowe's exit is on his own terms.

I can’t disagree too much here. I think the fact he hasn’t done anything completely insane is just refreshing. We are so tempered for such impending doom from former GM magic. He’s made some questionable decisions, but some decent moves too. The caveman now patrolling the wing in Calgary for one.
