Its been a while since I have posted.. While this is a tale of my journey to Crazy and back. To stay current and in touch with my ones of readers I thought I would post some of my old stuff from a platform that no longer exists. Offer you some insight into who I am and how I got here.

The Edmonton Oilers were in the throws of rebuilding their dynasty. If I can’t fix what I feel is broken, I’m not a dweller. So the armchair strategists were making me crazy. I couldn’t fix things, however, I thought those who could should be aware if of all the local experts, The experts who were too humble I suppose, to put their hat into the coaching ring.

While a local media outlet thought it was a brilliant idea, no one ever heard from the Oilers. Weird I know.

Mr. Katz & Board of the Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton Alberta

Dear Mr. Katz and Board of Directors:

Let my start out by saying I am not a hockey fan, I don’t follow the game and genuinely don’t really know or care what is going on. That being said, experts who seem to believe you have a coaching crisis surround me. I have encouraged them to write to you or offer up their services to assist in turning around your coaching challenges. They, however, seem convinced that their efforts are best spent yelling at the television, strategizing at the water cooler, and posting messages on Facebook.

I thought that you should be aware of this vast pool of expertise, all of whom seem to understand subtleties of the game that your coaches are apparently failing to grasp. I have sent you my husband’s resume before, but I think whoever picked up the fax might not have passed it on to you, as he has not received a call yet.

Please find attached for your consideration the names, numbers and where possible the resumes of as many “experts” as I could track down in an afternoon. I would encourage you to give these gentlemen a call and perhaps offer them an opportunity to share their wisdom and experience, because as wives, girlfriends and children we are tired of listening to it and would be grateful for the opportunity to watch them show off their brilliance.

Should you be happy with your coaching staff I would encourage you to consider my alternate idea of a reality TV show, “So you think you’re an NHL Coach.” Give these armchair experts an opportunity to show their stuff, and perhaps make some much needed money to help build the new arena that I also hear so much about. As much as I dislike hockey, that is a show I would tune in to watch.

On behalf of armchair athletes in my social circle thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,
Celeste Nicholson
