No Cups

Not usually a fan of Spector, but even he's starting to see that the core of this organization is rotten: (mind you, he also reported last week that our D corps was turning a corner for the better, so take it with a grain of salt.)

Quote:

It has been going on here for years, however, a sure sign that the culture is rotten.

It goes right back to the days of Hall and Ebs and Gagner and Gilbert. No one knows how to win, because no one has been taught what it takes. There is no institutional knowledge on things like compete and character. It does not exist, missing the playoffs for 11 of the past 12 years.

Hitchcock thought he had a bead on the issues when he arrived, after all of his visits as an opposing coach. Now he is seeing it firsthand, and it’s like a visit to the sausage factory.

Just as well Bobby Nicks is looking for a new GM that fits our culture. No matter how terrible that culture is. Here's a thought: Hire someone who DOESN'T fit that culture. Get everyone to wake the hell up and quit basking in the glory of the 80s. We've always liked to poke fun at the Leafs for going on about 1967, but this isn't any better.



But that would mean without the OBC. The "culture" is them. I agree, that seems to be the only hope for any real constructive change. I remember Dallas Eakins saying he was confident that McTavish would "figure this thing out" (on his way out the door) and still with all who have passed through that revolving door since, no one has figured it out? Even with the best player in the league on the team? If the OBC really cared about the organization, they would admit they are not very good at running things and that it's time to step down for the good of the team and fans, go count their money, and allow someone who actually has a clue to run the team. They are the only constant throughout the whole ongoing failure that is the Oilers. They are the culture this new puppet GM will have to fit into.(poor bugger) If the OBC were players we'd have shipped them all out years ago for doing such a lousy job. ( End of Rant )
