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
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

It's been very clear since Katz took over that the only thing that matters to the Oilers is making money. It's never been fans first. It's never been winning first. It's never been city first. So congrats to them, they did it.
The petition I don't think will do much, other than publicly shame the Oilers. I'm fairly certain the NHLPA and CBA wouldn't allow for the termination of a contact like this – no new knowledge has come forward the team wasn't aware of when they signed the deal. The most that would likely happen is he gets buried in Bakersfield, which given his cap hit, is something possible.
I think the bigger issues is that I'm getting really tired of having to twist myself in knots or willfully ignore toxic behaviour and bad people in order to cheer for this team I've been a fan of for 35+ years, but it's becoming issue after issue of compromise. It is absolutely not an easy group of people to cheer for their success anymore.
They are our only major four sports team and really do serve as representatives for this city. They are doing a bad job of it.
