FUCK!!! CRAZY ASS GAME!

I switched between time outs during the Lakers game and saw like 3 goals

Leighton YOU OUTTA HERE!!! Thanks for the anecdotes! never noticed Troy Brouwer till now. WHAT A BLAST!!

Oh...and this was expected (since they hired a play by play guy to do color, and he was taking vacations now and then) but Rod Phillips, voice of the Oilers, retired.

only one I knew, and he's mad friendly in public...he was a homer (complains about refs) but he called all goals with the same passion. ONE OF THE BEST EVER! HALL OF FAMER!!!

Man I heard Price got it in bad with some biker gangs down there in Montreal, which is why his play has been so off and on the last year or whatever. I feel bad if that is indeed the case, but he's such a dbag anyway.

Oilers replace Quinn with Renney
Last Updated: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 | 4:28 PM ET
CBC Sports

The Edmonton Oilers announced on Tuesday that Tom Renney will take over as head coach, with Pat Quinn to be moved into the position of senior hockey adviser.

Quinn, 67, returned to NHL coaching after an absence of more than three years, but his one season behind the Edmonton bench saw the injury-riddled team stagger to an NHL-worst 27-47-8 record.

"It goes without saying how valuable Pat Quinn is to our organization, and we will continue to rely heavily on Pat’s experience as we move forward with rebuilding this franchise," Edmonton general manager Steve Tambellini said in a statement.

"Pat will make a strong contribution throughout our system – no question."

Renney, 55, was brought in at the same time as Quinn as an associate coach. Renney has 428 games of NHL coaching experience with Vancouver and the New York Rangers.

"Tom Renney’s track record not only speaks for itself, but it also speaks volumes about what type of person he is," said Tambellini of the 10th head coach in franchise history. "He is a tireless worker who cares about this organization."

Tambellini said there had always been a succession plan that would see Renney take over for Quinn.

But he admitted during a news conference in Edmonton that the plan had been accelerated, and Quinn's position is a newly created one.

Edmonton will be on its second coach in as many years after the eight-season tenure of Craig MacTavish, one of the longest stretches in the NHL at the time of his firing in May 2009.

It represents the first big move of the week for Tambellini. The Oilers GM will be centre stage on Friday, holding the No. 1 overall pick in the NHL entry draft in Los Angeles.

While few pundits projected the Oilers as a powerhouse when this past season began, many thought they might be able to compete for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

That bubble burst with season-ending injuries to goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin, Ales Hemsky, Sheldon Souray and Ladislav Smid, putting the lineup in a constant state of flux.

The Oilers had neither the experience nor the depth to overcome the injuries. Khabibulin, the team's major off-season acquisition last summer, only made 18 appearances before being sidelined by a back injury that would require surgery. Rookies Jeff Deslauriers and Devan Dubnyk were forced to carry the load.
