I think teams like Vegas can give them a push.

But I don't think Anaheim can.

I don't think yet.

I think Anaheim is still a year or two away.

Well, they never made the finals until Knobloch got here.

Now the team's a little bit better.

But the one thing that Knobloch has done, and he's done some things that you scratch your head.

Kapanen last year was a healthy scratch in the press box.

Came out of the press box and went on to Leon Dreisaitl's line.

You're like, okay, how do you take a guy from the press box and he goes on to the second line?

And he scored the game-winning goal that night.

So everything that Knobloch has done the last few years in the playoffs seems to have worked out.

Some of them a little unconventional, but yeah, I think he deserves credit.

I think he's got a calming influence.

The one thing that this Oilers team did before the last two years, before they had their Stanley Cup runs, they would shoot themselves in the foot a lot of times with silly penalties.

Leon used to take a lot slashing penalties after the whistle.

We had Kane was here like they took a lot of dumb penalties.

They have become very disciplined, very, very disciplined come playoff time.

And they use their when they get angry instead of taking it out on the opposition, they put it into their their play instead.

So I think a lot of that is on knob locks, calming influence on the team.
