Whatever, I won't comment further on Katz' looks (my post on the subject was more of a shocked question anyway given how different he looked), but that doesn't for a second excuse the damning lack of success the Oil have had during his tenure as owner.
|
I’m relieved to know that something terrible was occurring, and that was what was affecting Katz’s decision making. The way he was running his business seemed like insanity, now we know it probably was, or something to that effect. Dude is struggling with something major, whether initially self-inflected or not - it’s way past his control now. He’s grasping at straws and hanging on to everyone close to him, you could say, he’s hanging on like it’s his final days. Everything he’s doing is highly personal and not business like. It may not be excusable, but at least it’s understandable.
We know where we stand now. We are fans of a hockey team that is owned by a dying man. He is doing what he wants with his team, and is going to use it for his enjoyment, because he’d rather lose games than lose those closest to him before he dies. Those people are probably helping him stay sane, and help him enjoy or at least cope with what looks like a personal hell. I don’t blame him. I just hope his coping doesn’t ruin anything permanently.
I imagine that once he’s better, if he gets better, he’ll be willing to rid the team of what ails it and he’ll return to being the shrew business man he once was. Until then, we know what we have.
We can chose to lump it, because it probably won’t get better until he does, or we can choose to take a break.
At least the picture is more clear. I feel sorry for Daryl - but that’s not why I’m more content, or less angry about team and staff management. I’m more content, because I’m less confused. Things fit now.
I’m considering this a non-operational time frame for the Oilers. I expect the team to continue to be run as it has been, and as long as I know that’s probably the case, I’m okay following the team. One thing I want, is to not be told that the team is being run in an as-effective-as-possible way. Outside of that, I’m not angry anymore.
|
You know that all of what you said is just speculation, right? I mean, if it helps you cope with how poorly this team has been run for most of the past 13 years, then more power to you. I'm going to remain skeptical about anything Katz and the rest of the Oil management team do until I see actual results (good results).
