I just caught the interview this morning with Krueger, posted on the oilers app, and probably website as well.
He said a few things that I had been feeling for the last 7 years but couldn't articulate.
I felt that since our last cup run that the oilers have been over-coached and have been playing not to lose rather than playing to win.
In this morning's interview Ralph addressed both of these issues and said "it's important to not over coach these players". He also said "we need to play to win as opposed to playing not to lose."
I think the oilers had the most losses in the league last year trying to protect 1 goal leads. (This made us hate all our veteran players since they are up minutes and lost us games, but I digress)
I was so happy to hear these comments this morning.
Mods feel free to merge this if there is a Krueger post that you feel this belongs in. Thanks.
