The Edmonton Oil Kings, as T.S. Quint in Mallrats put it, now in the framing business.
General manager Bob Green, while wending his way across Europe (http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Green+travel+clouded+uncertainty/2925894/story.html) in search of a flight home, has dismissed (http://www.edmontonsun.com/sports/hockey/2010/04/20/13654816.html) both coach Steve Pleau and assistant Rocky Thompson. Edmonton won just 16 games all season, so perhaps it is not a huge surprise.
Coming Down The Pipe! (http://thepipelineshow.blogspot.com) ought to be a reliable go-to as the baby Oil search for a new bench boss.
In the OHL, the Peterborough Petes are intent (http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2539034) on separating the coach and GM duties. The Petes seem prepared to go through the OHL draft on May 1 without replacements in place for Jeff Twohey and Ken McRae, the GM-and-coach combo who were left go in late March.
