Let me know your thoughts on this news
Knew this would happen.
I really hope it goes well for them if it wasn't for knoblauch we wouldn't have seen 2 finals i respect him more then Bowman that's one person I wish was fired then knoblauch im great full for his coaching hope he finds a new a team that wants him.
Coach Knoblauch getting fired was a given, after the first round playoff exit—the Oilers need to address things from the top ,as you stated. I believe they should try to acquire Binnington from the Blues to solidify the goaltending situation.
I'm surprised they didn't wait to announce the new guy first. What a clown act by Bowman.
'a pretty good run'..come on, 2 finals (yeah had to win one) but the leafs have not been to the finals in 60 years
Great Video/Update, Mike. I don't think that this was really deserving. Let me know what you think
Cassidy, come on down
The Toronto Maple Leafs had better scoop him up ASAP
It's The Chicago Blackhawks Connection – Jason Dickinson & Connor Murphy. LOL
It's The Chicago Blackhawks Connection also includes GM Stan Bowman. While he built A Winner, in Chicago, I also believe that one of his last moves, in Chicago, was when he acquired Seth Jones/gave him That Mammoth (No Pun Intended) Contract. LOL
Blame the coach for the GM's faults.
Berube is available!
Cassidy in?
Dale Tallon built 90% of the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup winning teams, not Stan Bowman
The issues are in the front office. President and GM are trash, plus the GM is a sleaze ball
Hi Mike my thoughts are that crap flows from the top on down in the gravity fed sanitation department called the Edmonton Old-Timers organization especially from ownership & his MisManagement crew. They once again prove this, that it is always the low man on the organization flow chart pays the price for their own mistakes. Aka fall guy
😢 Just can't believe that Katz is still letting the other two stooges (JJ &SB) run this team further into the ground.
I can hardly wait when Connor McDavid asks for a trade & Leon Draisaityl as well and then it will be official that the Oilers are the worst ever managed team in all of hockey since the Harold Ballard era. Unbelievable gifted two all world centers and can't build a winning team around that? Speaks volumes of the owner's knowledge (lack there of) of the game after all this time IMO. 😢
Keep your head up Kris Knoblauch & be more selective next time that you are offered a position like this. Good luck to you in the future. I feel sorry for anyone that this organization hires because they will be the scapegoat when the incompetent management fails once again & they probably will. What did Einstein say that the definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over & over again expecting different results. Hey Mr DK are you even paying attention or do you even care as long as the money keeps flowing in you'll provide the stale overpriced bread & drinks for your little three ring circus. (Moe, Larry & Curly) 😢
Fire bowman now !
THAT'S IT! I'M DONE WITH NHL! A MAN FIRED AFTER 2 STANLEY CUP FINALS OH SO CLOSE RUNS AND FIRST ROUND OUT! BRUCE CASSIDY FIRED IN LATE SEASON AND CRAIG BERUBE OUT AFTER 2 YEARS! PETE DEBOER FIRED BY STARS AFTER 3 WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS! PETER LAVIOLETTE FIRED AFTER 2 SEASONS WITH RANGERS! ALL THOSE GMS ARE UNFORGIVABLE!
Bowman should have been the first to go!
Ya fire the coach 🙄 might as well fire the stick boy and the girls selling popcorn 😂. They want to get a tough coach, ya like McMuffin and cherry picker leon will take a chewing 🙄. Players today are praised like gods for individual achievements. Canada lost gold due to McMuffin wanting to play the hero. As the captain his job is to get the most out of the other players. Obviously he’s not doing a great job. If they bring in enough talent and they were to win a championship, you know him and Leon will be praised while the rest of the team is behind the curtain.
