Oilers Farm Team

I think it is time to take the worst performing money makers and send them to the farm or bench them. Could the Oilers "suck" any worse? Send them for half a season to the farm team and if their performance does not dramatically improve when they return, send them right back. If that wouldn't shame them into performing, as least it would give them the recognition they rightly deserve. It couldn't hurt the team! Start with that under-performing puke sack Horcoff! Seven million and this clown is 9 & 10 with a plus minus of -20. To make matters worse, this guy is under contract for 5 more years. Pleeeaase!!!

And let's send public works out to replace all the "City of Champions" signs with "The Oilers Suck" signs. Lastly, fire the balance of the "Boys on the Bus" employees, starting with Kevin Lowe. He is part of the problem, not the solution. Failing all this, a planned "empty building" protest might get someones attention.

Don't beat around the bush, tell us how you really feel! LOL!

We'll trade you Phaneuf for Souray and we'll even throw in a case of hockey tape. Or maybe send us a draft pick, some kid named Eberle...you'll never miss him.

You can have our whole team and our "City of Champion" signs. Then we can bash the Calgary Oilers

They're better than our Leafs (Loafs)......At least the Oil has been champs and had some real players in recent memory..........

Our so-called 'team' consistently underperforms, while avid fans pay anything to go watch them fall on their faces.

I can really understand why they don't want another team in Hamilton. Everyone would end up there to see a real game.

How's that for support Wayne?

If the Leafs had a winning team then Wilson's press conferences wouldn't be nearly as entertaining!!

True, true...... Almost as laughable as watching the Leafs 'play'....

Our so-called 'team' consistently underperforms, while avid corporate moochers pay anything to go & carouse in the lounge and find out on Sports Center that they fell on their faces yet again.

Definitely not a good time to be an Oiler fan.

Pass on the bum-smacking, but maybe you could borrow Ian's complimentary season's tickets. I hear he only uses them to carouse in the lounge, anyway.

I think it would be very interesting to get a rundown of Flames ST ownership as well.

Hey, you don't know how many butts that I had to kiss to get those.
I'm not parting with them that easy.

I thought the oilers were a farm team

Look at it this way with Jordan Eberlie and Taylor Hall (they are on pace to land him) the Oilers might have a bright future but of course that is if the Oilers style of play dosent stifel there offensive talents like it has so many other promising oiler prospects over the years. I used to work in an office in Nisku and would get free tickets all of the time, I went to two games, I also owned 20% of a company that had season tickets in gold section I went once. The Oilers just don't have much draw IMO.
