Edmonton is making a coaching change. Jay Woodcroft being relieved of his duties. Thought last nights win would buy some time, but that’s not the case.

Wow! I thought that last night would give him so more rope/time. They really haven't addressed the goalie issue or the offence first, always issue. Strange to me.
Hope this is okay Paul. New coach has McDavid connection:Additionally, the choice of the next Oilers coach appears to be at least somewhat McDavid-oriented. Knoblauch was McDavids coach in the OHL with the Erie Otters, and he won an OHL title with the team in 2016-17. A two-time championship-winning coach in the CHL, Knoblauch, 45, is in his fifth season as the bench boss of the Wolf Pack. https://www.prohockeyrumors.co...
Always welcome to post Ukey. As a matter of fact it is encouraged.
On another note, I believe this is McDavid's 5th or 6th head coach during his Edmonton days.
Five coaches it is.
Now a little advanced work if you want it Ukey. To embed a tweet, go to the tweet, click the 3 dots at top right, click embed code and copy it. Now back here, click the snowflake icon, paste the embed code in the box, hit insert, then post. Same holds true with YouTube videos, but don't use the snowflake icon, use the play button icon, the one to the right of the snowflake.
I'll give it a shot next time.😊😎
Headlines like this sure don't help a franchise:
Soap opera continues as Edmonton Oilers fire Woodcroft https://edmontonjournal.com/sp...
No surprise. Defensive play is always a secondary option in Edmonton.
McDavid = coach killer.
Hmm, more information. It looks like Holland is now out of the power loop. Lots of Mc David connections... https://edmontonjournal.com/sp...
Woodcroft will have a job somewhere before next season starts. KH, not so much.
Holland's done at the end of season, if not sooner, barring a miracle. Signing Campbell alone is enough to do him in.
Well, everyone is saying the right things, but the facts are what they are--- a coaching carousel. Why then...?https://edmontonjournal.com/sp...
now that i've seen the total dysfunction among these executives and jackson's comments (and believe me, i'm no fan of ken holland's, who needs to retire), it's my conclusion that the oilers deserve whatever they get this season. they're losing again tonight, so far.
if they don't make the playoffs this season, i wonder if they'll be looking at their stars leaving. how could oilers fans even blame them after this mess?
