What recent coaching changes are impacting the Edmonton Oilers?
He said, as of this moment at 11.37 a.m., Chris Knobloch has not been fired by the Edmonton Oilers. We're expecting this to happen likely by day's end. This on the heels of a Frank Cervalli report a couple days ago, which basically stated the following. Let's see here. Let's do it. League sources say this from yesterday morning. League sources say the owners have sought permission to interview Bruce Cassidy as they contemplate significant coaching staff changes. To this point, sources say the Golden Knights have withheld permission from division rival. Gamesmanship perhaps mostly unprecedented for role. And again, we have had... Uh, yeah, we've not heard, uh, anything further as of, uh, 536, uh, regarding the orders coaching situation.
Let's bring aboard John Shannon for legacy heating and cooling, whether it's heating or cooling, you need to get with no payments, no interest for a year. That's a build a legacy, legacy heating and cooling. Hello, John. How you doing? Hey, Bob, how are you? Oh, you sound like you're fighting a cold. A little bit of laryngitis, too much talk about Vancouver and Toronto. Yes, well, this show's called Oilers Now. Lots of talk about the Oilers and not a particularly fun day, I'll be honest with you. The last couple of days have been tough. But Stan Bowman did say, and he did the first availability, you know, the end of the year after the Oilers were beaten in six. And people had pretty strong commentary at that time.
Many people thought the Oilers were outcoached in that series by Joel Quenville and Jay Woodcroft. Of course, I would argue that there was also significant challenges at center with the injuries to McDavid, Dreisaitl, Dickinson, and Henrique getting knocked out of the series. Some people said, stop or you're making excuses. Anyhow, Stan Bowman did say, hey, evaluation process is going to take place. People should not forget that the Oilers requested permission to talk to the Rangers, to talk to Chris Knobloch when Jay Woodcroft was still coaching the team. Sure. This happens, but it doesn't often happen in the offseason. Anyways, your thoughts on all of this?
Well, what really has happened, I think, across the country is that we're now at a point in the hockey season where there are less Canadian teams involved, so the focus gets away from the Stanley Cup playoffs. and goes back to the teams that people are in distress about, whether it be the Leafs, the Canucks or the Oilers. And so, you know, the guys in Edmonton are following the news in Edmonton. And I think that that's exactly what's happening. And there's a lot of focus, as there was in Vancouver, with the announcement that will probably come tomorrow. But there's a lot of focus on what the Oilers have to do, particularly after Stan's comments and Connor and Leon's comments. And you're going to have to deal with them somehow.
particularly Bob with an owner who wants to win as badly as any Oiler fan has ever had.
Yeah, and hey, I mean, you know what? Like, Leon Dreisettel makes the comment after the final regular season game before the Olympics, and he said the coaches have to be better. And there were some perplexing lineup decisions in the game that night in Calgary that I brought up. So I'm not being a hypocrite here. I said it on the air. Just play Frederick. Yeah. Find a way to you got to get something out of them and they pulled them out of the lineup against the Calgary team that we just watched Longberg and Big Clapka run around the last time Edmonton played Calgary in Calgary.
