As per the title, you can't really argue with what's happened since Kris Knoblauch and Paul Coffey took over the team, and at 31 games, we're well past the dead coach bounce.   Oilers under Jay Woodcroft Record: 3-9-1,  Pts: 7 (31st), PTS%: GF/GP: 26th, 30th, Differential: 31st PP: 9th, PK: 30th   Oilers under Kris Knoblauch Record: 25-6-0, Pts: 50 (2nd to COL, who have 1 more point and have played 5 more games), PTS%: 1st GF/GP: 3rd, GA/GP: 2ND, Differential: 1st PP: 4th, PK: 1st   Kris Noblauch -Moved the lineup away from the 11 forward/7 defense lineup of Woodcroft.

The Edmonton Oilers are firing head coach Jay Woodcroft, the team announced on Sunday.   Edmonton was on a shortlist of Stanley Cup favourites coming into the season but a 3-9-1 record through 13 games has them well back in the Pacific Division standings. And now, it’s cost Woodcroft his job. Assistant coach Dave Manson has also been relieved of his duties.   Hartford Wold Pack head coach Kris Knoblauch will replace Woodcroft as head coach in Edmonton with Paul Coffey as an assistant.    Woodcroft's run as head coach ends after a year-and-a-half run, beginning whe ..read more

I just watched Marty Biron's take on the Edmonton Oilers and he says this is not likely to be fixed overnight.  Having arguably the best two players in the NHL as he said, the rest of them are non existent.  Who saw this coming? Sure, maybe you can kick my Sabres around some, but not this much ..read more

Saved the best for last.....   LAST SEASONS RECORD 50-23-9 109 points, second in Pacific. Beat the Kings in a spirited first round matchup before bowing out in six games to the eventual champion Vegas Knights. plus 65 goal differential best in division, second best in Coference.   ADDITIONS Added Connor Brown who they believe is the next Hyman. I dont see it but who knows. Ekholm brings his steady play to the team for the whole year allowing Bouchard to terrorize opponents on the rush all yeal long. Honestly not a whole lot of new faces.   SUBTRACTIONS Yamamoto and Klostin were ..read more

I’m sure McDavid will get to the finals soon.  How soon is anyone’s guess but I highly doubt the goalies they have now will be the same next year?  Maybe when they get there my Sabres will be the team waiting for them?  They are going to be in the mix soon enough.  For now we must watch Eichel succeed. I knew he would.  Adams is such a jackass.  Nothing will keep the Oilers from being in the mix next year.  But it’s no fun getting knocked out.  I know all too well ..read more

McDavid scores 60th, leads Oilers past Coyotes 4-3 in OT   (AP Photo/John Froschauer) EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) Connor McDavid scored his 60th goal of the season with his second of the game 1:31 into overtime to lift the Edmonton Oilers to a 4-3 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday night.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also had a pair of goals, and Leon Draisaitl ass ..read more
