MacT is back. Phew!

Yesterday, my Edmonton Oilers announced the most important signing of their offseason - that of Head Coach Craig MacTavish, to a four-year contract extension. He absolutely deserves it. Yes, I cursed him a bit last season, but what passionate fan doesn't do that at certain times during an 82-game season? Bottom line is that MacT is one of the great young coaching minds in the league, and he deserves every dime the Oilers are paying him. Stability is a critical key to success in today's NHL, and I'm delighted the Oil will be guided by a steady hand for the next four years.
