This is surprising after they won the last game. I'm somewhat torn about this move. The season has been an unprecedented failure thus far… Next man up, as they say.
5 in 10 …Loll…STILL is not going to help with 2 players
Thatโs the third coach this core has gone through now. ๐
When you keep hiring coaches and no results, it's time to look at the GM and up.
Edmonton going backwards and i love it!
Edmonton GM should go as well
Offensively they had a good game against SJ, but at both defense and offence they had unforced errors, due to undisciplined play. The Seattle game was definitely better, but their problems are much deeper.
Last season, they were propped up by a great power play unit, which overshadowed their general undisciplined play. And the power play, along with poor coaching decisions was the result for their barely getting past LA, and then their loss to Vegas in last years playoffs.
Does nobody here listen to press conferences? The decision to change coaches was a process. Wasn't decided after the Seattle win ๐
it wont make any difference at all ken, same s#@$ different pile. The only thing you can do, and should have done, is to rid the the the club of the worst deal in the NHL, and that's Nurse—that six million dollar overpay IS the straw that breaks the back. The best thing you could ever have done was to never have given that contract, entirely on your shoulders and you can fire who ever you want, fire everyone, nothing changes until you fix what you F*&%$#$!
Go see an optometrist, because until you can see what's right in front of you—– the one thing everyone else can see, but you are completely blind to. All the coach's in the world, even one a week, wont change squat! Whining and crying about being short players, what a moron, would six million dollars do anything to help?
WTF!! Maybe itโs time to fire HOLLAND and other office mice? You know, the ones who gave CAMPBELL his contract? Or fire/trade some of these WEAK players!!
Time oiler fans boycott home games stop wasting money until the gm is fired
Holland and Chiarelli put them there. It's not Woody's fault that there's some pretty shitty contracts or no cap space to address the defense/goalie situation. I guess we'll see.
Rather common to need a few days to line up the replacement (even within the same organization) while the current one is still coaching. Decision was made after the San Jose game.
Congratulations to Connor McDavid for being the CEO, GM and coach of the Edmonton Oilers. McDavid runs this organization now.
