FEELINGS DONT WIN YOU HOCKEY GAMES!!! Jesus guys how many times did you need to hear him say "its a bump in the road and were fixing our mistakes." Knob seems way more like a leader than a "best friend" like woodcroft. Knob controlled the bench and seemed to engage the players way more than woodcroft.
Knob looks like a great fit this game. Obviously still trying to digest the woody firing. Look forward to this guy! At least for 1 more year until they fire him and bring in a new coach
Congrats on your first win coach, team really played better as the game moved along. Nice to see the big boys step it up. Coach seems to have a real calm presence about it him. Heres to many more wins!
To take nothing from this guy's first win in the NHL, it is comical to see comments in here already proclaiming what a win this move was, and how great he is.
EDM beat a hilariously garbage NYI team tonight, and it took them until the 3rd period to even do that.
Don't jump the gun on this just yet, because in a couple weeks' time, you could look like a complete moron.
There was nothing on this game that scream "Kris made this win possible". There was some luck, and some better efforts from the players, against a slumping NYI team.
Way too early to count chickens but this was good to see and so far I like his mentality alot. Hoping he's essentially Ted Lasso at empowering and making his players feel good about their game
Hearing about line stability and not wanting to shift lines every two minutes so chemistry can be built is so refreshing. I like woody but his constant line shifting was so tough.
Woody could always get them to play a solid 20 minutes and hang out for the other 40 minutes so hopefully the new guy gets a solid at least 50 minutes out of them every game.
This don’t hit right without Woody win or lose. I’m from Kansas and never played Hockey in my life. Sutter and Woody got me into the sport. Loved the adversity they discussed. So entertaining. Unfortunately I placed a big bet on the oilers to win the cup right before Woody got fired. Have a horrible feeling about it but the win tonight helped.
I’m sure Knob is a great guy. It’s just hard to see the organization shoot themselves in the foot by letting Woody go. The Oilers will come to regret this error.

Still sad not to see woody anymore, but it is what it is and hope this guy can turn the ship around

LET'S GO OILERS !!!
I think we lost a good coach, and gained a yes man for the management who think they know better

I kinda like this guy
Woody. Knobs.

Welcome to the show.
Good luck against the Seattle Kraken.
Great start for the new coach. Coffey looked good on the bench too.
I think the team was beginning to gel and play how they expected before, but now they can certainly turn up the Knob.
72-9-1 LETS GO OILERS!

He seems like a really good guy… I just hope they don't eventually make him another scapegoat for management's incompetence.
Gonna really miss Woody and still don't agree with his firing, but Knobs seems like a pretty likeable guy
The new York islanders will hirers Jay Woodcroft at their new coach.
I loved the McLeod and foegele line buzzed everytime on the ice!

Anyways, moving on………….
Great game coach! Great insight. Let’s go oilers!
This is good opportunity for him to be NHL coach not just in AHL. I like his poker face. Go Oilers Go!!
I hear he is more defensive coach, maybe a few more trades, we can play better in the future. Fire the goalie coach, and get a veteren goalie
Knob supremacy

Knob looks pretty polished on stage..
love the calm on the bench by both ups and downs
Connor is packing his bags guys 😂

Too soft to be an NHL coach
Woody could always get them to play a solid 20 minutes and hang out for the other 40 minutes so hopefully the new guy gets a solid at least 50 minutes out of them every game.
Who is this guy? Do they really think someone from WHL can do a better job than Woodcroft???
I feel for woody but I'm sure he'll land with a great team! Hoping this turns out to be a great season for the Oilers.
-signed wings fan
They let them score on purpose playing mind games
Did he get Hollywood's name wrong?
first fixed win for you guys wow you must be so proud
" Knoblauch " means "Garlic" in German. So, this guy is basically Kris Garlic. 🧄💀
When Coach Knoblauch speaks, i still hear Coach Woodcroft's voice. 🤔
This guy feels like an NPC man. I miss jay
This guy sounds just like woody
Glad we got a new coach…

Jay Woodcroft prove himself, i think oilers issue is bigger than just changing head coach. I even think it was mistake to change woodcroft away.
I’m sure Knob is a great guy. It’s just hard to see the organization shoot themselves in the foot by letting Woody go. The Oilers will come to regret this error.
Cool, nice win and now the Oilers might be able to grab a wild card spot this yr.
Jay “Not Jay” Woodcroft
