If the Oilers win the Pacific, does Knoblach get consideration for the Jack Adams?

[RattsSSV]

Consideration? Sure, but it's not like he was the catalyst that made the team so much better. The Oilers had some key players injured and were getting healthier when Knoblach joined the team.

My vote would be for Tocchet.

 

[Connor McConnor]

As soon as they play a good team like Dallas, they fold.

This team is not doing anything in playoffs, it is a 2 man team.

They dominated the Avs the game after but I guess they aren’t good. Go troll somewhere else.

Also,
4-1

 

[karltonian]

maybe don't have the consensus best player in the world during his peak and try to coach a team.

 

[Super Hans]

After being marked for dead and selling at the deadline, it's gotta be Sullivan's to lose after rallying the Pens back into the playoffs with 5 future hall of famers in Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Karlsson and Drew O'Connor.

 

[lawrence]

he should win it even if the oilers don't win pacific. Not kidding. He's done a good job.

Didn't see much from them last night. Got dominated by a horrendous Flames team and fluked into a win.

Maybe if he is coaching the power play he will earn it. But 5 on 5 they are not good.

I can't believe people are still including Torts when the team is in free fall.

Every statistic says they are a very good 5 on 5 team. Congrats on only losing by 2 on a back to back though with a backup goalie in.

Oh and incase you forgot, 4-1 against the best team you will ice for the next 10 years.

 

[lawrence]

I feel like it should be Tocchett.

he's also not a bad choice.

can make a case for tocch because he has a much weaker team than the Oilers. Debor, theres a feel very good choices.

Blue jackets beat avs 4-1
Arizona scores 6 in one period against Vegas, that’s the thing about nhl. These random upsets come out of nowhere.

4th game in 6 nights and on a back-to-back....and still won
they were tired

pretty much every metric says the Oilers are an elite 5 on 5 team

 

[Steven Toast]

I recall at one point, there was 3 Jack Adams coaches who won the award within the previous 5 years on the sidelines looking for a job.

Currently only 5 NHL teams (TOR, CAR, COL, PIT, TBL) have had the same coach for the last 5+ years.

Of course you didn't, the game started after your bed time there champ.

 

[Cup or Bust]

He should probably win it regardless. The Oilers are at the top of the league in almost every team statistical category. It seemed laughable early in the season to even think the Oilers could possibly catch the Canucks. it seemed crazy to think they would even be able to finish in the top 3 in their division at one point.
