More Lowe Blows?

So Kevin Lowe was moved from GM to President of the Oilers with Steve Tambellini taking over the GM role. Not sure what that says about what Oilers' ownership thinks about Lowe performed in his role as a GM, but I'm sure Brian Burke has an opinion on it. Looking forward to hearing what he has to say. Hopefully, he'll add some fuel to the fire because it seems to be burning out over the past couple of weeks.

Previous quotes by Burke about Lowe:
On Lowe's decision to give Penner an offer sheet without giving Burke a heads up: "I think it's an act of desperation by a general manager who is fighting to keep his job." "I thought that was gutless."

Previous quotes by Lowe about Burke:
"Where do I begin?," started Lowe. "He's a moron, first of all. Secondly, he really believes that any news for the NHL is good news. Thirdly, he loves the limelight and I don't think anyone in hockey will dispute that. Lastly, he's in a pathetic hockey market where they can't get on any page of the newspaper let alone the front page of the sports, so any of this stuff carries on."

Ding. Ding.
