It's actually a joke. You guys should be cup contenders not wondering if you make the playoffs. You have McJesus and Drai in their primes teams like Detroit would absolutely dream of ONE of these type of players. Holland has to go before they demand trades. I actually feel sorry for you guys smh...

Don’t love it but I understand. At the end of the day Woodcroft owns this record. The change in system is also a factor. I think this is more a reset for the team to get some more confidence.
As for the hire. Don’t mind them going off the board in a sense. Not sure the systems but is it better than recycling coaches? If he can get McDavid back to his best then it’s a good hire.

Someday he will leave and once he does he will be leaving a decimated franchise behind.

This is an organization that is desperate for Mcdavid not to leave. When are we trading for Dylan Strome? Might as well hire Cam Mcdavid as the head athletic trainer.

Sounds like you could have another source within the Oilers now.

After a little bit of reflection here, this is Connor's ride or die and realistically Connor is our ride or die. Look at how shitty we are when he isn't his superhuman self. Connor will not sit idly by if the players dog it for someone that he greatly respects and a lack of effort will definitely be called out. As for Coffey, can he do any worse than the job that Manson did with our D? Hopefully he improves the group while our slow motion GM works to try and improve our blueline and goaltending.

Relax. You're tryin to take a comedy and turn it into a drama
shwartz has to have some incriminating photos of katz there is just no other way. like you have to accept the basic premise that our goalies are not doing well and we cant really trade them so at the very least you WOULD think that a goalie coaching change could help in this situation

SPEEN!
I assure you that Holland had nothing to do with this hire. LOL.
I'm pretty sure he is just riding off in to the sunset and collecting a check. Connor McGM has the keys now.
Goodbye Woody. I don't feel like you deserved to be fired. At least you left us with this gem on your way out.

Coffey getting an up close and personal feel for the players before becoming GM next year
Coffey has on and off been in some sort of 'consultant' role with this team. He did coach in junior.. until he used a racial slur against a coach of another team and was let go. So he has a rather ignominious record in that regard.
We essentially hired McDavid's old junior coach and another holdover 'old boys' club' card carrying member. Like I said before, Jackson was a connection hire because they're clearly trying to appease one, perhaps two players instead of running a f***ing professional hockey franchise. This f***ing organization, man. Bush league garbage through and through.
Hiring McDavid's buddies and surrounding and mollycoddling him has not helped this franchise. They have by and large been failed experiments. If there had been any kind of competency we'd have brought in the right mix of players and found, drafted and developed guys on rookie contracts. They'd be pushing up through the system and contributing meaningfully within 2-3 years of getting drafted, like other organizations. Instead we are left with this utter shit show, where one player is essentially running an organization (even if he is a superstar generational player, you can't run the f***ing organization catering to his every f***ing whim and desire.. especially when he hasn't led you to a god damn cup or anything remotely close).
For the poster asking, btw, this is Nuge's TENTH coach. 10 f***ing coaches. Just the sheer incompetence, god damn...
I like that we have a D coach that was known for saying f*** it on d. Our head d is a 4th forward.
