How much longer will Kevin Lowe last?

[Singin the BLUES]

Oilers fans took out a full page ad in the Edmonton Sun and it goes like this,




Dear Mr. Katz:

We have listened to the promise of better times to come and stood vigilantly by this management group for far too long now. Changes need to be made at the highest level of the Oilers organization before this time can ever expect to improve on the ice. The laundry list of fired coaches, general managers, equipment managers, trainers, and players is evidence that there is only one man who remains untouchable and unaccountable in this organization – Kevin Lowe.

No one man has been with the organization through the entirety of the nine years of sub par performance other than Mr. Lowe. If you expect accountability from the player on the ice, then must be accountability from management off the ice.

A barrier has developed in the minds of Edmonton Oilers fans over the past eight-and-a-half years of missed playoffs and low place finishes. On one hand we support our players, on the other, it is becoming increasingly difficult to believe in this team so long as Kevin Lowe remains a part of the organization.

Mr. Lowe needs to be removed from this organization immediately. This is not in any way directed at Kevin Lowe as a hockey player and his 6 Stanley Cup rings, or Kevin Lowe as a person. This letter is highlighting the deficiency in the team created by allowing Mr. Low as a person. This letter is highlighting the deficiency in the team created by allowing Mr. Lowe a seemingly infinite amount of time and resources to build a quality hockey team. This has created a losing culture that now accepts repeated failure as a part of the process.

We have been loyal to the Oilers throughout many years of hardship. It is time for you to show that you not only hear what we are saying, but that you care about holding your management group accountable, so that the city may once again enjoy watching a competitive NHL hockey team.

Signed: The Fans
