I definitely agree he should've been nominated at the very least, but Rick Tocchet definitely deserved the win. Canucks weren't expected to make the playoffs let alone be a contender. Oilers already had cup expectations
Exactly. It's the humility that gets me. When they won game 6, there wasn't so much as a smile until they were touching Skinner's helmet. They all know there is more work to do. I think Knoblauch's demeanor has really rubbed off on them all!
You are an amazing coach, Kris - considering I had not heard of you before! You've done so well. The team has done so well since you and Coff took over. Thank you! Today I decided to go out and about in Calgary wearing one of my Oiler t-shirts. The people I encountered all wished the team well and I'm just passing that on. I had to answer some questions from a couple of them, but no problem. Go Oilers - YOU HAVE GOT THIS!!!
This Florida media team is trying to get in his head, dude is ICE cold. Job is not finished: one game, one goal, one line, one play at a time. Let's go Oilers.
... regardless of the outcome, Daryl Katz, Ken Holland and, "Kris Knoblauch, and his band of Merry Men", are going to be going down, written, and engraved, as an integral piece of legendary Oilers history. GOAL OILERS GOAL!!!
Don't get caught up in the hype of it being a game 7. Just play it like you did game 5 and 6. Go out there, score. And keep trying to score all game. Doesn't matter if you're up 3 goals after 1. Do not take your foot off the gas at any point. Get good sleep the night before, don't come out flat in the 1st period. Bring that energy/momentum from the previous game.
If they don’t close it out the ride still matters. Win or lose tomorrow Oilers fans have to be happy with the season this team gave fans and the comeback fight they showed multiple times. It’s was entertaining and all a fan could ask.
Nobody, that I’m aware of, has said “Knoblaugh is out coaching every opponents coach”, and he has. It’s been incredible the way he’s given his players a plan that seems to work every time. I believe Florida has a game plan to beat us and Knoblaugh has already figured out how to beat that plan. Guy is psychic 😂😂
Let’s make it happen tonight Coach! Great coaching..great players..great team ..great fans that gives life to hockey games..great year to bring back home the Cup🏆🇨🇦❤️
"...because if you don't, then none of this ride will have mattered." Wtf kind of moronic comment is that? That reporter's on crack. The Oilers will be forever remembered for the unbelievable record-setting season they've had. Its been some of the most entertaining hockey the league has ever seen. Started at the bottom, and were pretty much out of playoff contention by U.S. thanksgiving. Then they clawed their way back, went on a 16 game heater, a 5 game streak, an 8 game streak, finished second in the Pacific. Beat VAN in spite of Silovs, Beat Dallas, in spite of Dallas being the Stars, defied all odds by coming back from a 3-0 deficit and found a way to beat Bobrovsky and the Panthers very handily, forcing a game 7. No matter WHAT happens tomorrow in game 7, the Oilers will be the big story of these playoffs. No contest. Some of these media guys are out to lunch. GO OILERS!!!
Love this guy’s pressers in comparison to Maurice. Kris is just humble, honest and straightforward. He showed zero panic or frustration after game 3. He’s not trying to make himself sound wise or funny like Maurice.
He did great but also had a great team to work with. Sometimes it just all comes together like when Raptors won the championship Nick Nurse was a rookie coach. They got a bit lucky though. Oilers might need a little more luck to close this out like Bob went from 🔥 in first 3 games to 🥶 in next 3 games. It'll come down to Bob vs Skinner.
There's absolutely no reason to leave anything in the tank. When the puck drops its full speed all 60 minutes. Don't leave any doubts in anyone's mind who the best team on the planet is the Edmonton Oilers. Goodluck. Peace ✌️ 😎.
To come back 3 down back to back to back do or die game they've already won the hearts of fans all over. Both teams deserve credit for producing such a remarkable finals that even non hockey fans can get behind. It's elevated the sport.
GO 'OILS', no way to predict what will happen. Even though you've battled back so outstandingly, the odds are against you beating FLA tomorrow night but I'm pulling for you to complete the reverse sweep!! GO KRIS, GO OILERS!!!!
Well the odds are better now than 3 games ago. The trick is you play each game one game at a time. Bob let his level slip for 3 games for unknown reasons so Oilers got lucky too.
i love how theres paul maurice, maybe one of the most unhinged seeming coaches weve seen in the league, and then kris whose like "yea if we win we will win"
As an outside fan, it was easy to dismiss his hire as "McDavids mentor", now that Im watching lots of oilers hockey I can see how wrong I was. This guy is absolutely outcoaching the other side. Amazing job, go finish them off.
Keep It Simple. Play The Hockey That The Oilers Elite Hockey Level Is. Do Not Worry About The Taunting. And History Will Smile & Be Happy With The Oilers Organizations. You Must Be Willing To Go Up & Beyond Your Job. I Used To Get Paid Minimum Wage To Move 3000 To 7000 Boxes Of Wine At Winery's In My Area Weighing What 12 Bottles Of 750 ml Or 1.15 litres. That's A Lot Of Weight, But I Did It Knowing That I Was Getting Paid To Workout For Future Readiness Of Whoopin Ass. Let's Go Oilers, Let's Go!!!
How could the Oilers not resign this guy to coach them next year and beyond baffles me. Perhaps something is being done behind the scenes we don't know about. He's a great coach and deserves a contract. Let's Go Oilers!!!
@@George__Parasol279 I'm happy to hear that. I heard him say in his Saturday press conference that Monday was his last night with the team. Maybe he was speaking in a literal way, meaning coaching the exact same players.
@@ryanm7171me too! And yes, he actually quickly clarified that he meant “this exact group of players” because some will move on through trade/free agency/ etc and that it’s just part of the business. But yes Knoblauch is here until at least the end of the 2026 season, barring a coaching change!
@jonfreeman9682 Agreed, too bad more of these players weren't already signed up to longer deals. I guess they wanted to give the next GM? a cleaner slate to work with.
I agree he probably should not play. But the coach will make the best decision. But Kane was intricate in many wins this season and playoffs. Having him battle with Zedorf in van was very important. No doubt he contributed this playoffs.
@cindyrussell1581 like I said, I think they should keep him out. He's not 100%. But in this playoff run he's contributed. Not this series. So I had agreed he should be out for this game. We agree. The lines worked well in this series. The only one I'd change is derek Ryan but he is right handed face off and penalty killer, so even changing him is doubtful unless he's hurt.

@martymcflydouble007 Thanks, we will be savoring this moment for a long time. Your organization has had their time in the past, this is ours. Thanks again
Shoulda been coach of the year!
I definitely agree he should've been nominated at the very least, but Rick Tocchet definitely deserved the win. Canucks weren't expected to make the playoffs let alone be a contender. Oilers already had cup expectations
A cup is better.
@@at2at they went from 32nd in the league to 1 game away from a cup lol.
@@evictioncarpentry2628 we’re they actually 32nd I thought they bottomed out at 31st which isn’t any better though
@@NathanrS-n4h iirc yes they were dead last for a short period on that losing streak
They’re all so humble in the face of greatness. What they’ve done this year is history; and a chance to bring the cup back to Canada finally
Considering they were down 3 this defies belief. Everyone wrote them off.
Exactly. It's the humility that gets me. When they won game 6, there wasn't so much as a smile until they were touching Skinner's helmet. They all know there is more work to do. I think Knoblauch's demeanor has really rubbed off on them all!

Congratulations 🎊 Nuge on 13 years. Incredible.
This Florida media team is trying to get in his head, dude is ICE cold. Job is not finished: one game, one goal, one line, one play at a time. Let's go Oilers.
They can't take their 👀 off the 🏆 and have to stay focused. One more game and it'll come down to Bob vs Skinner.
This guy just doesn’t get flustered. So level headed
Just brief and honest. No drama. Love Knobs. 💪

Great job coaching Kris. Another total team effort brings the cup home. Bring it Home! Let's Go Oilers!
Excellent coach he is going to get the cup
Of course he is thrilled with the season , regardless of the outcome of game 7. He is a rookie Coach, That started the season coaching in the Minors
That's really quite an incredible achievement. Sometimes it all comes together.
Genius coach
Calmest badass ever 😁😁😁 GO KRIS GO 🥳🥳🥳🤠🤠🤠
One ice cool 😎 coach but the job ain't done.
Thanks for coming to town dude! Lets go Noodge lets Leon lets go Stewie
If they don’t close it out the ride still matters. Win or lose tomorrow Oilers fans have to be happy with the season this team gave fans and the comeback fight they showed multiple times. It’s was entertaining and all a fan could ask.
No it’s professional sports. Winning is all that matters. Good news is Oilers will win.
How are we this far in the playoffs and these mics still suck?!
One game away from winning it all, this feels like a dream, can’t imagine what it’s gonna feel like if they actually win it all. Go Oilers!
Great Coach
Respect coach Kris, so much as does your Edmonton Oiler team.

Terrible microphone. We're in 2024, and the biggest game of the year, yet we somehow lack the proper audio system for these interviews?

As Pierre our next Prime Minister would say “Let’s Bring It home!!!! 😄
The Rangers really screwed the pooch not making him their head coach. Laviolette did well, but his shelf life with new teams never lasts long.

Kris does a great job of answering dumb questions.
Bet Paul is now wishing he hired Kris a few years ago instead of throwing out his resume.
Jobs not done, yet
Spec nobody going to miss you players or coaches
Ummm, what a dumb question the season was down and then up the entire way.
The clown show in Florida continues with their amateur level mics at the press conferences. How does the NHL allow their league to be consistently embarrased because of a few hundred dollars worth of missing equipment that Florida isn't providing for pressers at their facility?
