Too late for some of us to cancel our ticket packs. The why this guys is the better question. There is nothing that makes sense other than a desire to be the heel and be contrarian. But alienating your fanbase and embarrassing your city is a strange course of action.

A picture to illustrate how much concern the Oilers org has right now about a petition mostly signed by Flames, Canucks and Leafs fan trolls

Revenues for last season:



Fans gave Bowman a pass. Forgot about Virtanen, Kane, Perry. Already barely care about Babcock's history. I actually consider Formenton down the list compared to some of these other guys. I know people mad about him are maybe louder than for the other guys, but I think people are more caught up on using these guys as a symbol to attack a culture they disprove of, that a huge amount of current players all participated in too. IMO Bowman is probably the worst of the entire bunch in what he actually did to win his first cup. Willfully ignoring someone on your staff stalking, blackmailing and sexually abusing on of your players because it would distract everyone during the playoff run remains completely insane. Think I saw that Mama Stanley is claiming she had no idea of the bad stuff Bowman did
