They signed Bowman too which is very on brand for them.
Absolute dumpster fire of an org.

Really cementing their place as the villain of the NHL.

I hate the flames way more come on now guy

Surprised this is the first post on this honestly and I figured the Mods were filtering this stuff, I understand we are our own subreddit but we clearly hate the Oilers and this shit is actually fucking insane.
It sucks to be an Oiler fan on a good day, so this is extra dicey.

It was pretty shocking how many Flames fans were rooting for the Oilers in the finals because « they’re Canadian ». In the 34 years I’ve lived in the Calgary area I’ve never seen so much Flames fans jump bandwagons.

Oilers are slobs

I really can’t Believe they hired that piece of shit bowman what are they thinking?!

If they weren’t already, they are a complete toilet bowl franchise.

Great hire for most obnoxious and arrogant fanbase in the NHL. I cannot wait for their various excuses and explanations. They like to lecture other hockey fans on their superior hockey knowledge and fandom. This will be their latest opportunity.

Glass half full, maybe this means in 1-2 seasons Draisaitl/McDavid are out of the Division.
Looking at the Oilers sub (please nobody go there and be an ass), it doesn’t look like their fanbase is too enthused about this either.

Everybody sys Edmonton had the best offseason, is that true? I haven’t been paying much attention outside of the Nucks. Should I be afraid?
excitedprotons
They’re really collecting all the trash around the NHL huh? Just exposing themselves as an organization with zero integrity and self respect, well done.
djblackprince
Edmonton only makes hires these days based on how much of a scumbag criminal you are apparently. Fuck the Oilers.

NAW. this is so evil you would almost think it’s scripted.

Nah fuck the flames. I was at the December 3rd game last year and two flames fans sat in front of me spent the entire game trying to bait me into a fight.

Edmonton is full of hard drinking, fist fighting, rude types. Not surprised they don’t care about the morality surrounding their team. The word trashy comes to mind…

This just makes it so much sweeter that they came back from 0-3 just to lose in game 7.

Unbelievable. Terrible look for the Oilers. I don’t give a shit that the guy has three cups. This reeks of desperation! Gotta do something while McDavid is in his prime right. Doesn’t his contract expire in 2 years? Doubt he’ll leave, even though it’s actually his best chance at winning a cup. They brought McDavid’s agent in to be CEO and his Eerie Otters coach in to be the Oilers head coach. Increasingly feel this org will never win a cup with the best player in the world. Just nuts.

Funny how some industries with sport have ethical coaching and treatment classes and the NHL is still going ‘but they are good at their job!’ In this case, Bowman isn’t even good at his job. 🤦🏻♂️

Oilers haven’t made a post on their IG yet… I wonder why, probably hoping the fire dies down. Horrible mistake this hire

Will always be united by that bond, but I’m straight up starting to like the Canucks now. Send any more trade value our way and I might just buy a jersey!

Bowman hiring proves that the only way people agree to go to Edmonton is if they have literally no other choice. Kane, Perry, Virtanen. List goes on.

This is great news. Despite Scotty Bowman’s reputation, he made some truly bad trades at the end of his reign in Chicago, so maybe he will make some truly bad trades to get the Oilers under the cap giving the Canucks the edge for top spot in the league.

As a fan of both, growing up in Calgary. I approve.
