The Jaded Oiler Fan (A Brief History)

Off Seasons

The scariest time of the year. For most fan bases, this is where hope is renewed, where strong teams strengthen, old teams rebuild and young teams grow… and the Oilers flounder. To say I have lost faith does not feel right, as I don’t know if I’ve had faith to lose. The last GM I felt confident in was Lowe, you read that right.

Lowe made bold moves that helped the team, and he thought outside of the box. We as a fan base have become jaded to Lowe because of his comments when the hiring of MacTavish took place, but Lowe was a good GM.
