Clear The Crease

Kevin Lowe is an idiot, and by that I mean ‘having a mental age of less than three years old and an intelligence quotient under 25′, but by that I also mean, he is Mike Milbury and Bobby Clarke, rolled into one hateful, weasly, asinine ‘man’. Sure, he fields a playoff worthy team nearly half the time (wow), and he pulled off renting Chris Pronger (who almost single handedly
won the Oilers a cup), but he is on the road to alienating fans, players, and other GM’s to such an extent that the aforementioned Mike and Bobby show will have to admit that they’ve been out jackassed and kneel at his feet sopping up the pearly goo of his ‘wisdom’. So, I am a little intrigued by the news that the Oilers have given Lowe a four year contract extension . I tend to think that after such a monumental collapse last season, that you would let Lowe sweat and see if all his fucking around with restricted free agents pays off. But no, the Edmonton Investor Group decided to lock that big brain up! Way to go, guys! Mark my words, the Oilers will be in Portland, Oregon at the end of those four years…

In other news, well known moron Sean Avery has been sidelined by well known pest, and my new hero, Chris Neil. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t root for guys to get hurt. Ever. But I do root for guys to get their comeuppance. Avery talks a lot of shit and, to see him get dropped makes me feel somewhat satisfied. Plus, now Avery can hurl all sorts of bullshit at minorities that work at New York area hospitals during his regular visits…
