Knoblauch wasn't the problem, just the fall guy in a long list of fall guys.

A GM's self-preservation termination.

Yeah, apparently K had quite the end of season interview with the GM too

Read somewhere, that this new Oilers coach - will be RNH's 10th.

The mind boggles.

Been a while, mostly I am in Calgary.

Not as bad as say Winnipeg but still a shit hole.

They are all shitholes. Why anyone would want to live in a city is beyond me (other than for work).

10 coaches in 15 seasons

what a graveyard

Listening to H&B this am and apparently we've only seen Vegas, Edmonton, Dallas and Colorado in the conference finals since 2020 (excluding the bubble). What a buncha losers we all are

We're not that far behind, sadly.

Rumours that the leaves asked Riley to waivers NMC. Blockbuster trade, Riley for Nurse straight up.

Twice to the Stanley Cup Final with bad goaltending.

How is that guy the problem?

Knob wasn’t the problem.

Their Captain doesn’t know how to lead a team to a championship and they’re D/tending is average at best

Nurse and Bouchard.....you forgot them. Goaltending probably bails them out a bit, but honestly t$20M for two defenseman that are probably in the bottom half of the league defensively when it comes to the percentage of turnovers and mistakes that have ended up in their own net on the ensuing play.

Who's talking about the Norris? That trophy has become a joke and awarded more on offensive production.

I'd be giving it to Werenski though. 81 points and not playing with McDavid/Draisaitl, MacKinnon/Necas/Landeskog.

Edit: Just realized that Bouchard wasn't even nominated. Saw a graphic that had him compared to Werenski and Makar.
