To everyone in Canada outside of BC, you're welcome.
— That comes to us from the Twitter account of the L.A. Kings. It's still a bit early for that sentiment, but I appreciate the candor. And great game, Dustin!

Steve Tambellini has known Renney for at least fifteen years, since Renney was with the Canucks. The Oilers have had literally months to make up their minds in terms of what to do wtih Renney. It is bizarre that they now need to meet and evaluate what to do.
— That's Tyler Dellow's take on the "evaluation" line in regards to Tom Renney's status.

Free Agent Focus:
Not much happening here. They are in negotiations with Ryan Smyth, but he is a rather small fish with limited options who doesn't want to play anywhere but Edmonton. He'll be back. Cam Barker and Linus Omark, who both spent all of the season the doghouse, won't.
— This paragraph comes from Yahoo's Team Report. Barker's play landed him in "the doghouse", but is Omark there for the same reason?

"T.D. (Forss) checked with him a number of times on the bench and he was adamant that he was good to go and capable of playing," said Renney. "When things settle down, often times that’s what happens, speaking from experience. That’s when you go, ‘Wait a second.’"
— Robert Tychkowski quoting Tom Renney on Corey Potter's concussion against the Ducks.
If any team should understand that the player needs to go back to the locker room for a proper sideline evaluation, it's the Edmonton Oilers.

Of course, if you’re interested in seeing the Oilers win some day, this is just another piece of evidence that the management team is not a particularly detail oriented group.
— That's from Tyler Dellow's Holy Mackerel! We've recalled a lot of guys from OKC article up at his site now.
As expected, the local media was quick to sweep it under the rug calling this no big deal. But remember, this is the management group that had no idea Gilbert Brule had to clear waivers and had no idea what the signing date was for Finnish draftee Teemu Hartikainen.
It's yet another example of the gross incompetence of the Steve Tambellini-led front office. But hey, the Oilers have another lottery pick, so ...BAM! Stanley Cup.

It's no secret that the Oilers need defensemen...so trading away by far their best blueliner makes perfect sense, right?
— That's Fear The Fin's take on the Nick Schultz for Tom Gilbert trade.
Magnus Paajarvi looks OK...he's on the ice early today. Great news.

Magnus Paajarvi looks OK...he's on the ice early today. Great news.
— From Dan Tencer's twitter machine this morning. Looks like the kid may have gotten the luck that he deserved and that we were all hoping he would get with that hit! In the meantime, we await further bulletins...

We've decided to protect our interest and keep Pavel off the ice until this situation is resolved. We're making our decisions on a player-by-player and opportunity-by-opportunity basis. We see potential opportunity to improve our club with regards to Pavel.
— That's Steve Yzerman explaining his decision to keep Pavel Kubina off the ice until he can work out a trade or the trade deadline passes. This is a very prudent move from Yzerman, and as much as I like watching Ales Hemsky, one that the Oilers should probably emulate.
We're letting the guys who have screwed it up all this way do the trade. Oh boy.

We're letting the guys who have screwed it up all this way do the trade. Oh boy.
— Mark Spector interviewed Michael Arace of a Columbus Dispatch this afternoon to discuss a potential Rick Nash trade. The above quote comes from the end of the interview and was Mr. Spector's reaction to the idea that the Blue Jackets would allow Scott Howson, the man who constructed a team that looks like a lock to finish 30th this season, to make a trade involving Rick Nash.
It's interesting that he sees no similarities to the situation in Edmonton where the team is on the verge of a third consecutive lottery pick but he's fine with allowing the Steve Tambellini, the man responsible for all three of those teams, to continue running the show.
The podcast cast be found here, the interview in question ends with 21:40 remaining.
