People acting like Woodcroft was some demon the team exercised to bring in their new angel sound a lot like this years Vancouver fans and not in a good way.
Woodcroft might be a worse coach than Knoblach. In fact, now that I have a decent sample of games under the new regime I think he is, but the primary and only real difference between the teams records under the different coaching staffs is Woody had the worst goaltending in the NHL and Knoblach has had close to if not the best. Show me a good goalie and I'll show you a good coach.
That said, the Oilers as a whole were a pretty ho-hum team most of last year until they acquired Ekholm at the trade deadline. They exploded after that and I don't think that's a coincidence.
