Re: Oil Change
I'd hesitate to use the word documentary.
This is a finely polished product meant to show little to no blemishes about the team. These have made me even sicker of Kevin Lowe than before.
Regardless, it's well done and provides some cool insight to the day-to-day rigors of playing for an NHL team."The schemes of men have failed us all
Strife with no end, our actions will betray us
Battles will rage
Violence will flow
Repeating the past
A tragic path once more
Making our mark while leaving our stain
Our legacy of arrogance will wither with the day"

Re: Oil Change
I have a book, Future Greats and Heartbreaks, by Gare Joyce, who sat in with the Columbus scouting staff during the period from the 06 draft to the 07 draft. The book was meant to give a perspective into the inner workings of NHL player personnel departments.
Great book, and this program seems to be something similar. I watched it tonight...was interesting enough. Nothing unexpected, really.We're cheering Fight Fight Fight On Eskimos...Comment

Re: Oil Change
Things I learned:
#1) We offered Bogey insane money.
#2) Why the **** were we brain storming teams that might want Souray on July 1st? The season was over in April... and we're brainstorming it then?
#3) Tom Renney seems to be the smartest man in the room. Constantly.
#4) I can't believe that we almost took Marcincin @ #31.... whoever it was who said it was insane to take him on the basis of him being a defenseman deserves an award.
Andddd I'm pretty sure Roszival was the guy that was offered for Souray."This year, we did what we were supposed to do. We fought as a team. We fought as a team. And the fact is, we gotta go back and go to work, to make sure we finish this next time. That's all we gotta do. This right here makes us stronger. Let's understand who we are as a team. Let's understand this right here makes us stronger." - Ray Lewis, January, 2012.

Re: Oil Change
I enjoyed it. Gave a pretty cool inside look at what happens behind the scenes. Gave me more insight as to the direction the Oilers are going through. I wasn't expecting them to sit there in front of the camera and tell us all about the things they screwed up so I am fine with it. I came out of watching it feeling pretty good about the way things are headed and it seems the guys running the ship have a good handle on things finally.Blindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.Comment

Re: Oil Change
A few more notes:
Love Stu Macgregor even more after seeing this.
Tambellini is a goofball.
Bucky doesn't come off as that smart either (of course).Last edited by HFPM; 10-21-2010, 10:57 AM."The schemes of men have failed us all

Re: Oil Change
He is there so some Oilers fans have someone to bitch about.

Re: Oil Change
That made me realize that I can hardly wait until the new downtown arena is built to open in four years and our young guns are challenging for a title (fingers crossed).Comment

Re: Oil Change
I work in civil engineering. 2 years is tight but it could be done IF they already have the building designed. But in reality, it will probably be built in 3 years. 1 year for design and approval, 2 years to build.Originally posted by MoneyGuy View PostBlindly accept whatever they do and if it doesn't work out, I guess there's always next year.Comment

Re: Oil Change
So, you're agreeing with me. Two years from now is out of the question.Originally posted by Sectionq View PostComment
