  1. We need more save and more def and not just plying offensive. We losing to wilds is so Fken wild

  2. why hire all these ahl assistant coaches.. fire all of them and bring coffee back..
    fire bowman too. he signed 2 players so expensive and so long… 2 vey big and deep holes he cannot get out..

  3. Fire the defense coach,they look terrible this year.The best goalies in the world would get torn apart with these guys in front of them.

  4. The Edmonton Oilers' goalies have consistently been mediocre at best, with Jarry (SV .75) 😂allowing five goals and Ingram (SV .77) allowing 2 goals. Sure, some will say not all the goals are their fault, but look at how McDavid was stopped on his breakaway and how "well"😜 the Oilers played in a similar situation. The Oilers were called for 3 offensive zone penalties, which led to 2 goals due to poor 4-on-5 play. Several times, poor changes in the Oilers line-up led to one-on-one situations and goals. McDavid is (-3) in this game. The Oilers' defense is pathetic!😜

  5. OILERMANICS remember this game along with the BLOWOUT FROM COLORADO WE WILL GET BETTER but it's not a quick fix ….like all other Great teams it's takes time to become GREAT ,IMM VERY OPTIMISTIC 😁

  6. I will continue to say this until hopefully this guy is fired
    Knoblauch was brought in to our defensive minded coach and continues to show that his defensive strategies dont work we could have a top 10 defense in the nhl but its continuing to show that he has no idea what hes doing, his strategy is to play our big guys and his going to tire them out if we make the playoffs and we would be a first round exit.
    He doesnt take responsibility and says we need to be better defensively but we continue to make the same mistakes and dont learn from it and seeing him show any type of emotion is rare.
    He says not many nhl teams have a bonafied starting goalie i can name 10 nhl teams right now that have starting goalies so his point where there are a very few teams in the nhl with a starting goalie he has no idea what hes talking about.
    We used to have a explosive offense that would score 3-4 goals per game and our offense has become our big guys and our support players get no time on ice because he doesnt trust anyone but the big guys to produce offense, i wont deny some of our depth has produced but we have some support scoring and hes too afraid to trust them because they arent mcdavid draisaitl hyman or nuge.
    When he first came in he said he wanted every line to have identity and we would be better defensively, tonight alone in the first half of the game minnesota has 11 high danger chances where int he SJ they had that all game.
    Theres been more games then not this season that the boys and the coach keep saying oh we gotta show up and be ready to play and 6 games out of 10 we look tired to start the game then we pick it up gradually where our goalie has to make huge saves to keep us in the games.
    ITS TIME FOR THIS COACH TO GO AND GET A COACH WHO ACTUALLY WANTS TO HELP US WIN AND SHOW HE CARES ABOUT THE TEAM AND STOP USING BULLSHIT EXCUSES FOR OUR LOSES.
    Knoblauchs time as the Edmonton Oilers Hockey Team needs to end before he either miss the playoffs entirely because we cant keep pucks out of our net or we make it to the playoffs and get first rounded because we cant defend.

  7. Knoblauch sounds frustrated with Jarry. He doesn’t mention him by name once in this post-game interview, and that’s rarely accidental.

  8. That first goal by the Wild on the power play was brutal, getting in behind the defence like that gave them what they needed to get into the game, should’ve had 25-96 on. Oilers desperately need Coffee back.

  9. You sir are one of the problems with this team 3rd and 4th lines were best lines tonight and you decide to run 2 guys into the ground!! Start sitting guys for garbage plays bouch and Ekholm need to sit nurse needs to sit and maybe throw mark stuart to the curb !!

  10. The goalies were solid a few weeks ago and now they both look like back-up goalies. What are we going to do? If you are saying Jarry is injured and that is the reason then start Ingram.

  11. Blaming Jarry already Some things never change. I wonder how good the best goalie in the world would be backstopping for this team. I’m guessing he wouldn’t be the best for long.

  12. The goal off the faceoff was simple goalie not ready, the first power play is the Bouchard that never made the olympics. I feel he is playing the bottom 6 a bit more the last few and I thought they did ok this game 81 shows great promise………..coffee is huge on the bench in my mind.

  13. I wish we had guys that could shoot the puck hard and fast. Leon is the only giy who rips that puck. Mcdavids breakaway was useless.

  14. How about you take some blame. Instead of throwing everyone under the bus there pal

  15. HEY BOWMAN You STUPID FOOL, IF YOU WANNA SAVE YOUR JOB, CAUSE OILERS don’t PASS THE 2nd Rnd this playoffs i hope you should be FIRED, YOU BETTER BE LOOKING FOR A DAM GOOD GOALIE AND TRADING JARRY You STUPID GOOF, I LOVE HOW SKINNER IS STICKING UP HIS 🖕🏽 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽 AT YOU, YOU RUINED THIS CUP CONTENDING TEAM YOU GOOF

  16. Knob is awesome and a smart good coach, Jarry isn’t playing as good as he should when skinner is on 6 game winning streak FIRE BOWMAN

  17. While Knoblauch isn't wrong, I'm of the opinion a coach shouldn't talk that much about a goalies play, leave that to the goalie coach to talk about that stuff, Coaches & Players don't know what it's like at all. The reporters don't need to ask this many questions about goaltending.

  18. To me no he shouldn't i think there was other people that was more deserving then Roman Reigns problem with Roman winning is he was out months on end and then just comes back and wins it, and if some one didnt notice but half of the stadium, that they were at was empty

  19. This coach means well but is clearly struggling trying to develop his second, third, and fourth lines……..he just has no clue.
