Just watch MacT play Reddox in a top 6 role.Bryanbryoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463233578735448147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-85019801014877638752008-11-14T19:59:00.000-10:002008-11-14T19:59:00.000-10:00It was never about who the best player on the farm...It was never about who the best player on the farm was.

Why would a GM ask his coach what he feels that he needs? It's ultimately the coach who's job is on the line. <BR/><BR/>Reddox is an alright player, has a worst +/- than Schremp, Potulny, Brule, Spurgeon, and Trukhno. <BR/><BR/>He may have more goals, but he has not been anywhere near as dominant at Schremp when Schremp is at his best.<BR/><BR/>To be fair I haven't seen much of the Falcon's last 2 games, however it is beyond ridiculous that this team would rather play skill with scrubs than play skill with skill. <BR/><BR/>Hopefully it was MacT's doing and it fails, and his job can be flying out of town on the same plane that Reddox will be flying out on when he's sent back down.Bryanbryoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463233578735448147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-48061139875680384432008-11-14T15:09:00.000-10:002008-11-14T15:09:00.000-10:00Any way you slice it, the Oilers are being run lik...Any way you slice it, the Oilers are being run like a gong show. <BR/><BR/>After last night I'm willing to blame MacTavish for 9/11.hunter1909https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591790801665471272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-6679999159734756372008-11-14T14:15:00.000-10:002008-11-14T14:15:00.000-10:00Last time I checked, Tambellini was the GM of this...Last time I checked, Tambellini was the GM of this team, and not MacTavish. MacT is not responsible for getting a player here or sending one away. He's responsible for coaching the ones that are here. So don't blame MacT because your boy isn't batting cleanup.<BR/><BR/>The thing that bugs me is that we're replacing a defenseman with a forward on the big team. With Smid out for god knows how long with a concussion, we need that 7th D-man. Say what you want, our D-men are a fragile bunch when you consider the history of Souray and the injury troubles of Strudwick and Grebeshkov already. This team needs Peckham a lot more than it does Schremp right now.doritograndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497613230666426389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-47316305674492514032008-11-14T14:08:00.000-10:002008-11-14T14:08:00.000-10:00Reddox has 5 more goals and one less point that Sc...Reddox has 5 more goals and one less point that Schremp (in 2 more games) while playing a chippy, defensively responsible style. Sounds like a better fit for the fourth line to me. <BR/><BR/>Schremp had a mediocre to poor camp IMO and has had a good but not overwhelming AHL start. He has zero goals and is a small and soft playmaker. <BR/><BR/>It's not shenanigans, it's probably the right call. You can claim it's all MacT's fault and make excuses, but Schremp has yet to truly dominate the AHL (except possibly when with Nilsson). Until he does, I doubt he spends a lot of time in the show (barring NHL injury).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123409644010783103.post-22923879801050072392008-11-14T14:03:00.000-10:002008-11-14T14:03:00.000-10:00MacTavish is now, functionally insane.
