Welcome everyone to Kevin Lowe retirement night against the Rangers.
|
If only he was retiring from all things hockey. That is reason to celebrate.
|
Let's at least let him have his night, despite some frustrating years for many of us.... The guy deserves this for all he has done. He truly has always been an Oiler through and through.
|
I'm not sure he's been an Oilers through and through. Of course, I'm a former tier one fan that still holds some bitterness over the last 21 years of hockey in this town.
I think we can compare and contrast this retirement ceremony to the others we've seen over the last 20ish years. I was excited and felt lucky to be in the building for Coffey and Anderson. I was pissy when a shadow was cast across Messier for some reason. I made a point of watching Gretzky, Kurri, and Fuhr go in the rafters. This one? I'm not really interested. If I didn't have to work late tonight, I'd go to the Riders game instead of watching this. I certainly won't be tuning in early tonight to relive the nostalgia and listen to better players try to convince me how important this is. I will do my utmost to avoid the intermission chatter even though I'll probably be watching on MSG to avoid the fawning.
|
I tried hard (and succeeded) to get tickets to Gretzky, Kurri, Coffey, Anderson and Messier's nights. I had to work so missed the opportunity to see Fuhr's. I had the Sather tickets fall in my lap too and really appreciated all those - although the Messier one was a weird night with the Smyth deal, and the sour mood in the building, followed by the total no-show by the team in that game. I do remember Lowe substituting himself out of that ceremony.
|
Like you, I’ve been to the same retirement nights and even though I understand why Lowe did not show up for Messier’s night, he mismanaged that TDD so badly that I could never forgive him. I think we lost 3-0 that night and the mood at Rexall was a mix of somber and anger.
I had an opportunity for free tickets tonight too, but I don’t think I’m going to even tune in. I’m undecided. I’m definitely not watching his hilight package or the ceremony.
|
Highlight package can’t be more than a minute or so. I hope they include a shot of him getting absolutely turnstiled by Pat LaFontaine in ‘84 for two goals in 35 seconds
You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you can get a lottery pick.
