This just continues to develop:

Friedman says the Oilers are looking in to making some significant change. Dreger reports that they aren't looking at making a change. I know who I trust between those two.

Love a good quote..but...
It's Tippets job to manage the tire fire happening. Pointing a finger at Koskinen the way he did, while all of it true, was too aggressive an approach to take while the heat was so cranked up on all. Then he doubled down the next day adding.../

that he didn't like the third goal either. That is when Koskinen fired back in the Finnish media defending himself. Criticizing the teams offence however was a mistake. He's not doing his job well enough to point any fingers at anyone else..../

Also, not buying the idea Tippett was taken out of context. he said what he said about things we all saw Koskinen do. We all knew what he meant, so did he. Bottom line, none of this helped, and it's the coaches job to fix things when they're broken, not inflame them...

Rishaug burying an axe in Tippett here so he likely trusts the info from Friedman better here too. If this is the last week or two for Tippett, this will be one of those moments the Edmonton media will point to.

There's reporting that Koskinen was the one actually taken out of context when his whole quote is translated:

What Mikko Koskinen actually said: ”This is how it usually goes in this line of business. When the team is doing badly, either the coach or the goalie is sacrificed. It doesn’t feel nice to anyone to be thrown under the bus, but I had no big emotions...”

”... about the things coach said. One just has to keep on going (towards the next game.”

”There wasn’t any qritique early in the season, but now it rains from everywhere, because I have lost six games consequetively...”

”...People here are passionate (get nervous) because everyone follows closely our actions. Each situation and goal is carefully analyzed. This is the way it is here because hockey creates so much emotion and passion in people.

”...I want to also say that in all those six games I lost our team was able to score seven goals. I am not able to score, so it is not only up to the goalie if the team wins or loses. We need to play better as a team.”

Edmonton media turning around some quotes. Surprising.

Replying to @McLeod73

It started from Tommi Seppälä’s tweet. I think this time the Edmonton media just ate the bate.

But of course, there's a shot fired in the organization by a player so naturally, if you're Mark Spector, the logical next step is character assassination. He decides to post an article saying that the goalie with the bulk of the wins for the team this year has lost the room...

Quote:

Sportsnet
@Sportsnet
The Edmonton Oilers don’t care, the way fans and media do, what a player makes. That goalie Mikko Koskinen is overpaid matters not in the dressing room. What they care about is, “Does this guy help us win?” And the answer, says @SportsnetSpec, is "no."

It has been pointed out that Oilers coaches who play in Spector's golf tournament do tend to get a level of protection from Spector - who earlier this week compared fans calling for Tippett's removal to bleating sheep...

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
