A tale as old as time in Edmonton, the head coach can’t get the team to the standard. What comes next? We all know. And it’s coming for Kris Knoblauch. #EdmontonOilers #Oilers #NHL #Hockey
Just a thought this. As an Oilers player? Do you think guys are talking about this exact subject. Guy have to be talking about this right? It's a different team, and the results are very drastic from last year! Well we have noone to blame but the organization it self. They seem to dismantle this team year after year with hopes of something great! We'll guess what its not working.
You're putting this on Chris Knoblauch who's taken the team to to Stanley cup finals and not on the inept general manager who is signing dog s*** contracts?
I have to wonder if McDavid is difficult to coach, and despite his obvious massive talent, perhaps he shouldn’t have the C.
Look at Colorado. MacKinnon is crazy talented, but even while Landeskog was out, he didn’t get the C. While Landy was gone, MacKinnon was sort of the leader by default, and the Avs didn’t play to their full potential. Sometimes you need a guy to rein in and mitigate the hyper-talented superstar. Who is that guy in Edmonton?
Said this a few weeks ago now. Yes, Kris has lost the room. Nobody is buying in to his coaching anymore.
As for Bouchard and Skinner. They are problems. There is no forgetting that for me. Bouchard's 15 goals a year, doesn't offset the 80+ he single handedly contributes to against, with his comically idiotic turnovers, bad passes, and downright blunders.
Stu Skinner. I don't even know where to begin with this guy. He had to bailed out multiple times in both SCF he was dragged to by this team. He is openly mocked by opposing team's commentators, in hilariously blunt fashion. He costs countless games with this terrible lateral movement, and downright being a sieve, all the while, laughing under his mask at times.
Fire Knobs. Trade Bouch. Buyout Skinner.
You will never read me saying otherwise. Have a good one. 👍
Ride pickard, waive skinner, roll 4 lines like i dunno – all the latest Stanley cup winners, give an actual rookie goaltender a chance to play, and make hits a priority. Bench Bouchard, and go big or go home attitude. Put an A on Poddy, strip it from …. who gives a fuck who
The coach is absolutely not the problem. The GM has done a terrible job of selling players and has sold many good players. The team is simply not good enough at the moment, and the coach can't do a miracle.
We need to lose Skinner. Put pickard in number one. Send skinner to Bakersfield and bring up Ingram. He will never recover in the minors. A condition stint for skinner is needed. Ingram is a great goalie. Skinner is our new Jack Campbell. I don’t get why the oilers don’t get that they need goal tending to win the cup. FFS trade Skinner Pickard and nurse for the likes of Hellybuck or some one that wants to win a cup. Oilers will never win until they fix the goaltending issue. Defence suffers because of nurse. Need to lose him. He is on the ice when most goals are scored against. He gives the puck away more than anyone, even Penner. The only thing that will get Connor’s cup is a goaltender. That’s why the panthers beat us twice. We will never win the cup with skinner. Gave him the benefit of doubt last season because he had a new born at home but he sucks this year. Bring up Ingram demote skinner to conditioning on condors and make Pickard backup. No more One / Two A. And then squire a legitimate Starter. Only way to bring the cup home.
It might be almost time to break out squirrel suit, but if Knoblach is fired, it begs the question who gets blamed when you go through 12 head coaches in 17 seasons?
No Coffey and no Gully. I don't think it is a coincidence that the coaching has been off this year. Makes you wonder if those two were a big reason for the success over the past two seasons as opposed to Knob.

Knoblauch has no respect from the players. Time for him to find another job. Seriously. Either that, or some of their top guys have to sit.

A scheduled loss wake up everyone they absolutely suck they don’t have it. Enough of the excuses they are not doing enough.
Stu Skidder , the weakest link, again. Bouchard, Nurse, Fredric, Mangiappani, garbage

You gonna blame a coach for the worst goaltending tandem in pro hockey?
until oilers get a coach and a set of players that believe in finishing checks for whole game every game this is what we get

If they lose to the panthers Saturday heads are gonna roll
Get rid of knob get rid of pickard and stu and show the team it's time to play
what if they’re losing on purpose and squeezing into playoffs so they get underestimated 🤔
Idk how guys can play for him. Whe. Things get tough he only play 29 97 and now hyman
Skinner must go he sucks knobs and bowman Jackson as well

Typical Oiler coaches,playing McDavid and Draisaitl together should only on the pp! a good team rolls 4 lines,bye bye Knobs
