The revolt against the Oilers new gamewear practice jerseys continues, as outlined in this article by esteemed hockey write Terry Jones of the less esteemed Edmonton Sun. I particularly like Oilers' president Cal Nichols's comments towards them. Mainly, though, I quite like how Jones, at the end of the article, points the finger squarely at CEO Patrick Laforge. LaForge has done a great job in conning the local public into believing the Oilers need a new arena and that it's perfectly justified to pay $50 for just the opportunity to pay far too much for Oilers season tickets.
But I think that ol' Pat has had his first big misstep since he started calling the shots for the Oilers, as the new jerseys that he wanted so badly have landed with an indelible thud. His claim that the Oilers might be able to change the design come the 2009-2010 season leads me to believe that the Anthony Henday Drive will be completed, sans self-defeating traffic lights, e'er the time that Oilers actually look good on the ice again.
