RAW | Stan Bowman 09.18.24

[@Gotthattism95]

Gonna miss Holland's rambling on and on and talking about Detroit

[@dameionhall6475]

Lol I know and then saying nothing you haven't already know

[@samsquanch67]

We’ll see if he gets hired again maybe he’ll on about the Oil!

[@GT-bx1jp]

Not me. I'm liking Bowman's clear, concise manner of speech.

God bless Bowman for not mentioning Chicago and his 3 cups every sentence

[@ThomStarBoy]

But how else would we know if he knows a little bit about winning? I may have concerns!

[@nathankeating1673]

Right? Im still confused when an interview starts and it doesnt have "Well when we won the 3 cups in Detroit"

You want him to mention the massages?? Lol 😅😅

Holy crap I never realized how fresh it is to hear a GM like this, Holland did amazing work for us and he undeniably helped our team get bttter, but Stan we can actually get a inside look of how he’s thinking

[@dameionhall6475]

Am looking forward to see this team have a better start and become more balance as the year goes by. Also the defense figure out to be better structurally than they were last season.

[@mrfake675]

Don't see the D better than they were with a mature Broberg. Hope the replacements pan out.

[@Troyjanwarrior1]

​@@mrfake675I do.Tune in and watch.

[@chadjmoore]

Podsey is going to be a good banger to fill the Kane role. Big, hard hitter. Should be fun watching him crunch some guys. needs a good camp.

I love that Stan has learned humility. I think he is going to be a great GM.

He'll definitely be a great GM for hiding sa

[@ProtagonisTeneT]

Bowman with an interesting answer on the Top 4 RD spot. I do not think we are done

[@anishsingh7597]

I think Stan brings more of a mindset of not being afraid to take risks in order to get the best out of the team. Holland did, at times, but wish he had done so more in his 5 years. I think Bowman isnt afraid and I do exprect numerous Stanley cups with him at the helm as GM.

[@clintonwagner1043]

Thought Wanner was the best player at the young stars on the defensive side, hope he looks as good in preseason, definitely can be a top 4 ,hope it's this year.

[@GT-bx1jp]

I don't understand the Hoffman PTO. Oil don't need more offensive scoring or older players. They need younger players with speed/size/grit for 3rd/4th line or D-line. Who is or are the bully/tough instigators on this team?

[@dylanbrown1440]

​@SF1886thanks coach he could very well make the team

[@shashanks626]

@@dylanbrown1440no he wouldn’t. He isn’t taking anyone’s spot in the top 9. He isn’t defensively responsible and is too slow for the 4th line. The only guy he could beat out is Perry.

[@dylanbrown1440]

@shashanks626 again your not the coach !! Anything can happen !! They signed 2 more guys to ptos after this so no he's not just a replacement for berglund it's gonna make every player earn his spot even the vets will have to earn It !!!

[@onelowvdub]

i like this guy so far ..

[@-KrYpTo-]

when cory perry//Derek Ryan retires or We dont resign them please talk to Detroit and Get Klim Kostin as a winger on 4th line for him Vasily Podkolzin // Matt Savoie // Klim Kostin (Would be Monster 4th Line Future Lineup to Keep Savoie Safe would Produce 100%

Honestly liking bowman more and more. It was quite time for Holland to leave.

[@newfieguyoutdoors]

When is the oilers going to get a new goalie coach

Considering the team made it within one goal of winning it all. Doubt it’s any time soon.

Why do they wait until now to get surgery for Kane? Political? He obviously needed it in June why did they wait????? Sorry I wrote this.l before mark spectres question.

[@seamuskelly9464]

go listen to kane's interview you will get the answers

[@jamesbennett3161]

He's seen multiple doctors and has been given several different surgeries. Time was needed to assess and choose which one.

Random Thought: If you close your eyes and listen to Stan, he sounds exactly like Kevin Sorbo.

[@ryderfletcher8670]

He reminds me of Joel McHale in The Bear the evil chef

[@thomasbeleskey133]

Sadly this is wear the streak of signing "misfits" ends! Hoffman Is a legit CANCER !! Hope he has a new girlfriend!!

[@cindyrussell1581]

Just hope he didnt do many bad moves, i guess time will tell. Bouchard is not worth what hes asking, lets not make the same mistake as they did Nurse.

[@nathankeating1673]

Bouch is easily worth 10mil a year, wtf are you talking about.

[@shamuschamus4828]

What's the number Bouchard is asking for?

[@alfernken]

What happened to all the outrage over his hiring ? Thought everyone was going to boycott the team ? Nope

[@Nall412]

lol.. it’s all show .. with those people. The social justice warriors.

[@nathankeating1673]

None of those people were oilers fans. They saw something flash across their feed that they could complain about and use to feel important for a few days.

[@logjammer77]

And what’s your barometer for measuring the support of a pro sports team? KZbin comments? Thanks for coming out Ken.

[@ramalama9030]

Signing LD for 14 million/8 years………is going to be a boat anchor for this club!

[@dianedyck3474]

Maybe some day but in the next few years we are going to see some great hockey!…every team that has super stars goes down hill eventually and that’s ok because it’s so much fun watching them now!

[@mrfake675]

Time will tell. He could have got more on the market.

[@K8thn76]

If they don’t pay what he wants or is worth. Someone else will and no one out there to fill his role. So worth the price as it is.

[@olivercromwell524]

No it won't lol. Cap is increasing. Just be happy they signed one of the best players this generation and he will remain an oiler for life.

[@OilFan702]

I get the hate for him, but you cannot deny that he is an excellent speaker.

[@KptKrunch9481]

Personally I don't - I think only the ignorant and the haters hate him. Bowman did NOTHING wrong - he found out about the issue and as a rookie GM IMMEDIATELY reported it to his boss who was the team President and was the man in charge at the time (McDonough). It was McDonough and the HR dept that swept it under the rug, along wtih Kyle Beach himself! I'm not going to make Beach scapegoat per say here, he is a victim, but he kept quiet after it was swept away for years - why? What kind of deal was worked out between McDonough, the BH HR Dept, and Beach?? Notice a name missing here? Bowman had NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! He was just the fall guy when it came to light years later as by then Bowman was the PoHC as well as the GM but I'm sure he had thought it was all taken care of. This isn't me talking out of my ass, this is from the report filed by the independent lawyers who reviewed the case. I'm not 'exonerating' Bowman per say, but he paid his penalty and has done a lot of work with the Kennedy foundation. Forgiveness does not make you complicit with what happened and I for one am glad we got a guy like Bowman in charge - and you can bet nothing like this will happen on his watch here in Edmonton.

[@nathankeating1673]

Never had or have any hate towards him. I wasnt there, I dont know what happened, but Kyle Beeches himself endorsed Bowmans return
