Maybe seven people's favourite podcast? Focused on the Edmonton Oilers and the NHL. Available on all podcast platforms.
personally would have hired Knoblauch a new (full time!) defensive coach and given him a more capable roster/goaltending situation. but management's got to blame someone!
I think Edmonton's skater group was good enough to win the Pacific and make it to the WCF. The fact it didn't is largely because of coaching, IMO. But, the goal should be a cup, and the roster was far inferior to COL/CAR/etc. Mgmt. has somehow made the goaltending worse. And...
The Oilers have relieved Kris Knoblauch of his coaching duties.
League sources say #Oilers have sought permission to interview Bruce Cassidy as they contemplate significant coaching staff changes. To this point, sources say @GoldenKnights have withheld permission from division rival. Gamesmanship? Perhaps. Mostly unprecedented for role.
Frank Seravalli: Re Connor McDavid: That two year deal isn't really a two year deal, it's a one year deal...then you reach the question of are you extending...if the answer is I don't know, I don't know how they have any other choice but to try and trade him - Flames Talk (5/4)
Not sure I would've posted this not even a week after a 1st round exit...
Wow. Steve Simmons says he spoke to 20 people around the league. 1 supported the Chayka hiring, 19 said it was a "sham" and called Chayka a "con artist," "liar," "salesman" Nobody around the league respects Chayka. Wow. 😬
It’s interesting that our only focus seems to be on what 97 will decide to do, whether that’s this summer or next or whenever. And it’s obviously because he only has a 2-year deal. But I mean, nothing is stopping Leon Draisaitl from asking out one day if that’s what he wanted. Not saying he will nor do I have any feeling he will. But just because he signed an 8-year deal doesn’t mean he will necessarily play it out all in Edmonton.
Katz will do a full evaluation of management, coaching and players in the next few weeks. Once he decides who stays, then they have to focus on: Solidify goaltending position. Ensure team commits to playing sound defense. Get better penalty killers and a better PK system.
