In a reply to John Shannon's tweets about Katz's health, Sheldon Souray had this to say:

This is awful. I can relate....Here’s a little story for you: After I broke my hand in a fight with Iggy in 2010 and needed pins put in to set the fracture, the Oilers insisted I get the surgery done in Edmonton. After some discussion, I agreed 1/4
Sometime during the Olympic Break, my hand became infected and I got very sick. I flew back to EDM from LA and went to the hospital that night. I had a bad blood and bone infection (MRSA). After spending a few days in ICU and a couple more surgeries later 2/4
I was close to having my hand amputated. I spent about 12 weeks on the IV bag with a PIC line on my heart to keep the infection from killing me. During the 10 days in the hospital, I was told that Oilers management(Katz,Kevin, Tambellini) thought I was “milking” the injury 3/4
When I spoke to the press in April 2010, I still hadn’t talked to management. I wasn’t mad they “didn’t check on me”. I was floored they thought I was using this injury not to play again that season. Obviously the rest is history. These infections are real and serious. 4/4
Hope the worst is behind D.K

Ah, so this is an example what a winning culture looks like. What Lowe and Friends have been trying to keep intact for so long. Finally starting to get it.
|
OH good. Another disgruntle old Oiler coming out of the woodwork to complain about his time with the Oilers giving all the miserable Oilers fans something else to complain about. I am sure if a former player came out and said something good about the organization, he would be branded a liar and crucified.
|
So are implying he’s making this up? What would he gain by that?
|
Not at all. Things didn't go well for Souray. Management has a lot of blame on their hands but I don't for a second think that it's 100% all the teams fault. I am sure there is blame on both sides but you only ever hear from the one side. If the team were to say something and report about how much of a miserable person player X was to deal with, the team would be CRUCIFIED.
Plus why is it that when a report like this comes out from the odd player, it always seems to come from a guy who doesn't exactly have a glowing rep as being a good guy in general? Souray never had a glowing rep as being a great guy for any of the teams he played for. Eric Belanger was known as a prick. Surprise surprise, these guys didn't have a "good experience". I have no doubt in my mind that the Oilers management made mistakes in the past with dealing with people. I would bet money that every business out there has made some mistakes with handling their people. But when a player who is genuinely known for being a real good guy comes out and says something, then I will listen more. When a demanding, not so nice guy comes out and complains, I don't listen as much because there is lots of people in this world who it doesn't really matter what people do for them, they are never happy.
|
To summarize:
We Oiler fans will crucify former players if they say something good about the team and also crucify the team if they say that a player was miserable. If crucification was an option there would be a lumber shortage in town.
Except the team DOES say that about the players. Where else do the leaks come from?
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
