Knoblauch is a very good coach. He's making some solid adjustments and it's paying off.
How is he a good coach again? All he did was split McDrai, and his other adjustment is to put McDrai together.

This is totally self inflicted. Miller/Boeser and Garland/Joshua just not in it so basically we're not a threat offensively. I put a lot on the coach, he refuses to do the basic that even a guy like Knoblauch does, switching up his lines to spark the team. The defence pairs were just bad to begin with, Myers needs a babysitter without Soucy and so does Cole. Karlsson was a good gamble for PDG but he hasn't brought anything.

We were mostly doing ok suppressing shots for a bit but our lack of offensive threats needs some intervention.

Just think Tocchet is shitting the bed here in a big way. Not the first time this playoffs.

How the f*** does a player become SO BAD.... seriously.

11.6 f***ing million dollars. Even if his linemates are plugs, he has no fights in winning the puck battles.

Do something, use your hands and dangle and break some ankles. FFS. Defensive 4th liners can do the same shit he does right now.

Defensive 4th liners are better because they at least pin guys in corners and win puck battles.

Petey needs to step up.

Would like to see Vancouver load up the lines in this third and just roll through their best talent:

Pettersson-Miller-Boeser
Garland-Lindholm-Joshua
Suter-Blueger-Mikheyev

Hughes-Hronek
Zadorov-Myers

Lines are fine, we aren’t playing well. No one is skating and the Oilers aren’t even that well either.
