It’s Official – Craig MacTavish hired on with TSN
As per TSN (click here for story).
“I’m happy to finally be among the experts where the issues are many and solutions obvious. I appreciate TSN providing a safe haven for unemployed coaches, as we rehabilitate ourselves towards future employability.”
- Typical MacT gold!

Now he can tear into Dustin Penner with his heart’s content without having to feel the wrath of fans :p
I am really looking forward to watching him behind a desk and not behind the Oiler bench this season! Smart man, just past his effective expiry date with the Oilers, is all.
Agreed LNOF. I have always said he’s a good coach, just was looking to be the wrong coach here in the latter years. Partly due to his systems, possibly, and partly due to it just him being in that position too long
I can’t wait to get a dose of MacT satire on National Television. He might just tell it like it is, like he always has.
This announcement has been something I’ve been looking forward to all off-season. He’s already let the whitty quips fly, so I’m sure he’ll breathe some personality into TSN
totally agree with the above comments. I , too, soured on him as a coach here, but I’m _really_ looking forward to watching him on TSN.
Buddy!! We need to talk about a game plan.
Norweigan Oiler must be coming to Edmonton soon, hey? we should all meet up one night for a beer or ten.
He’s supposed to call me when he gets here. Hopefully he does.
