Derek Ryan Is really stepping up and his line is stepping up and they need to keep doing it and it is good that all players are scoring not just McDavid and Big D
Very clear message being sent to their former coach.. also pretty clear that the room was sandbagging to prove a point. They wanted their coach gone. Players always win eventually.
So many fans have been saying for months that the bottom 6 should play more to involve everybody. Boosts confidence and morale. Kenny waited wayyyy too long to make a coaching change. Glen G coached his 2/3 games, played the bottom 6 much more, and the bottom 6 contributed.
Tippett comes back and they all play nothing again.
Also, you could see the team kind of playing like this when we won in Seattle and beat Columbus. Glen was distributing the ice time and everybody was contributing. We were supressing shots against as well.
MINDBOGGLING That Holland just sat for this long afterwards without changing the coach with all of that time off. It just shows there was no plan whatsoever.
That is a common theme with this organization. They half just fall into good sh** when they have no other choice. Never pro-active. Always reactive. Just like not getting a goalie now for almost 3 years.
They will go out quickly in the playoffs (if they get there) due to goaltending and then we will maybe get somebody.
If the coach was changed a month ago we are probably ahead of CGY (Who have had every single thing go right for them)
Just by wording you can tell he wanted coaching change. He said "when we get a chance". Says it all. Glad we got coaching chance and happy guys are happy. Let's go boys.
Finally this new coach plays every one more then last coach. The best teams play all the bench. Good for Oilers new look. I feel good watching Kane be a great asset.
No Oiler has come right out and said that Tippett is a terrible coach, but going by the things the players are saying about detail, structure, ice time, and knowing what their assignments are, I think we can all agree that Tippett was terrible.

Hi
Derek Ryan Is really stepping up and his line is stepping up and they need to keep doing it and it is good that all players are scoring not just McDavid and Big D
Some clear references to his not-so-good experience with Tippet.
Well spoken like a true veteran leadership role

Complete night and day team with Woodcroft
Not so subtle confirmation that Tippett didn’t have the trust of several forwards.
Tippett will never coach again in the NHL.
Evason Min , Sutter Cgy and now Woodcroft in Edm instantly changed their teams.

I’m glad that me screaming about our coaching problems all year was for a reason. Thanks for finally doing the right thing Holland
I thought Ryan was the best player during the losing streak this line is going to light it up.

Opportunity who would have ever thought that giving people more of a chance to play would lead to more confidence and ability to contribute
Some revealing comments about the previous system.
Lol Hey Tipp how's that bus feel? Lol
Derek Ryan should be a coach after he retires, great hockey mind. Him and Nuge together is big brain
Derek Ryan sounds like a nhl coach

Derek Ryan is going to be a hell of coach one day and clearly knows the game. Also, there were a lot of non so subtle jabs at Tipp there.
Ouch @tipp
Wow, he's not sad to see Tippet go, that is quite an indictment
