Canucks fan here. You Oilers deserved it fair and square. I'll be behind you as long as it goes this year. Have to respect a good opponent!

That TIME OUT was crucial …great decision by you KNOBLAUCH

This is a results-based business and tonight the fans really like the result. So a big congratulations to the team and the coaching staff for doing what matters most: Getting it done. That’s a big win and a ticket to the next round against Dallas. Looking forward to the upcoming battles. Make your preparations.

Carrick was awesome tonight played a very physical game as was kulak, Holloway, nurse, VINNY, Ceci BOUCH, especially NUGE…what a game and a total team effort from the team. Janmark, RYAN, and ECK, KANE. Leon, ZACH, -solid defense and penalty kill on that 4 minutes. Brilliant job by the team defensively

What an incredible coaching job by you KRIS. You did a fantastic job behind the bench.

This guy is just amazing. The results have spoken for themselves since the oilers brought him in.

You made the adjustments we needed this series knobber great job

the timeout to settle the team down was a great move

Way to go knob! Loved that you took that timeout to settle the team, best of luck in 3rd rnd

Knobs made a lot of great moves this series with putting in Pickard, going back to Skinner and putting in Brown and Carrick. Excellent work coach! Congrats Oilers!

Feel like McLeod needs to be scratched for a few games to get his head and game back, costly 4 minute penalty, then that brutal turnover to give the Canucks a chance. Needs a refresh to get back to a level where we know he should be.

Great time out coach!

I like Knoblauch's philosophy around each shift building momentum for the next one. It's very present and dialed in. That's exactly what this team needs. I’ve never seen a hungrier game 7 start for a team. Let's go Oilers!!!

Made good adjustments throughout the series, made a good timeout and the boys were able to close it out. Happy to have this man as the coach

Watched highlights from Down Under was excited already! Great job, Oilers!!! Good luck playing Dallas. Always an Oilers' fan for 40 + years!!!

Knob was also protecting his young player. Next round he will have some room to build confidence. Could you imagine if he had played McLeod after that and he made another mistake or weak play that results in a goal against? Good coach, smart friend, great choice. I really underestimated this coach when he started but I was so wrong about this guy. Really steady and smart.

Henrique needs to play so McLeod can sit

Congratulations 🧡💙 Half way there! Stanley Cup is Coming to Canada 🇨🇦

The fact he wasn’t nominated for the Jack Adams is criminal

I feel like its going to be Oilers vs Rangers in the finals.

Best signing by a GM in recent years, he has taken basically the same team that started the season to the conference finals! Kris has the ability to adapt and maintain calm, Dallas will be a strong challenge and we need a win in Dallas to keep the cup run alive, PP will need to come through! I was in Edmonton when the islanders won and Gretzky and the boys saw the ice packs on the islanders players after the game and said we didn’t have the same commitment they did, it says a lot and Kris reminds me of Al Arbour!

I was shitting bricks when Knoblauch called that timeout, but seeing how calm he was and how he calmed everyone down, i was actually able to relax and that was crazy. Big ups to this guy in his first game 7, his first NHL playoffs, against a team that was in sheer desperation mode. Hope he's here a long time.

They start the next round on my birthday!!!! What a birthday present for me!!!!!!!! Thank you Oilers 😎😎

That was a brutal giveaway by Clouder, he's been MIA this series. Might need to sit a few in the presser vs Dallas

Oilers have the attitude...well deserved 🎉. I'm so Happy 😊

Yes, less stressful would be great for the upcoming games! 😅

Kris is an amazing coach, his demeanor i think is a big strength to the team as a whole, that timeout was just another example of his ability to anchor down and get the team focused.

Make a note to not have 71 on the ice in the last ten minutes.

LFG Oilers! Great Coaching, Kris! Wild Series! Big G7 Win! Almost had a heart attack during last 10 minutes of 3rd period…Please pls avoid lethal turnovers. I really love tonight’s block shots number. No easy shot on net was allowed tonight! Man, Holloway was amazing tonight! His efforts on ice were everywhere! I personally would love to see Holloway on 1st line with Conor and Zach sometime later. That dude deserves a shot. He is a gem! Carrick landed some massive hits on Nucks players! I hope Carrick will be in lineup for upcoming games! That dude is a beast! Hope Henrique will be ready to go ASAP! D was really solid and aggressive. Strong physicality was there! I hope Oilers will bring these good stuff into WCF! Really hope Oilers can shoot the Stars down! It will be super challenging and Stars have beaten some champion teams. But I have faith in Oilers! Hope Oilers Shoot Stars Down! For The Cup Run! 🟠🔵🟠🔵

Great job coach! LETS GO OILERS

Great job coaching Kris -bring it home against Dallas.

Way to go Oilers!❤ congrats coach!🥳🥳🥳Well done boys!!Thank you❤🥳🥳🥳💃💃💃Let’s get that Stanley cup!woot woot!!!🥳🥳🥳

We always talk about players as being such massive additions to a team..but let's be real here..after Ekholm, who really elevated this team to a different level (for Bouch improved next to him so much), Knob is the next addition that was really needed. I still do not like the goal tending of Oil though. Skinner is good for the normal season but he is not a playoff goalie..at least has not shown to be one yet. He would be a great no. 2 behind a real goalie that could steal the show. If Oil adds a top goalie to their line up (not going to happen, they will have hard time keeping other pieces in place), this team could go on winning a few cups....they have a killer offense and having a killer goalie would just make them borderline unplayable. Anyhow, really happy for this coach....he's done well and deserves all the respect he is getting. Also his mannerism...great to see that there can be intelligent coaches who can serve as role models for the larger public.

Hey where are all the haters ...... fore!!!! Enjoy the off-season Nick's.

Special Teams in game 7 made the difference . Van 0-3 on PP Edm 1 -2 on PP 4 minute Kill for edm , was huge boost for the Oil

Clutch timeout by Knobby

finally we pull out a victory vs Canucks this was a huge game 7 and really shows what we can do when we try our best

Credit to him for making changes. Loading up McDrai wasnt going to work. 2 goals on 17 shots concerning though.

Gagner over mcleod

This guy should have the Jack Adams award 🏆

I wasn t high on knobby and i take it back

Mr. Knoblauch, my compliments sir. Brilliant to call the timeout and great for nurse to help out. Brilliant to keep the boys at the fast pace and full bore offence for game 6 and game 7. My only issue is Skinner. Pickard would have got a shut out. Be careful with Skinner and don't be afraid to pull him after 1 bad goal. He should have stopped both of the Vancouver goals. Now keep it going and I hope you play Pickard game 1 Dallas. Although the boys seem to block alot more shots when skinner in net lol. Cause they know .... Great job and congrats on winning the series. Now find the strategy that will beat Dallas. Be smart, be one step ahead, and adapt and evolve. Good luck sir. Keep Carrick in, you will need him. And don't bench McLeod, you need that fast heavy forecheck.

Vancouver fans were so unbelievably arrogant not only after game 5, but literally all year. It is VERY satisfying to send them golfing

Tocchet does not make many mistakes but humiliating the oilers this year probably didn't help

Stu needs to stay in the net, each time I've seen him touch the puck and it ends up behind him. Ok I've said that , he's play well and I am very happy for the next series. Let's go Oiler's

stars is the favor. but it is the execution of play both offen and defensively. oilers need the up the game especially skinners. they do not have to be perfect just better than the other guy...

CONGRATULATIONS OILERS! Well managed game and lights-out play. Now if Skinner could just stop the puck when we need him too but good job Kris taking that time out. Onto Dallas!

Chris, an incredible victory. You turned the situation around and it was great. Weaknesses remain and they are still the same. Chris, if you can't get Hyman out of the link with McdEe, you have to get him to play pass, much more pass with partners. He overexposed the puck again and stupidly threw himself when he had the opportunity to give a quick pass to a partner standing next to him and develop an attack more interesting. He makes a lot of losses in attack, which is why we don't realize McDavid's potential at the expense of Hyman's greed. Sooner or later it will be a decisive moment and we will not be able to score as much as we need because of the losses of Hyman. He has to play three times more passes, only this will bring the first link back into the game and begin to unlock McdEe's potential. You know that very well...As for Brown, make him practice one-on-one outs on the goalkeeper. His game is full of uncertainty, Perry would have looked better. Perry plays smarter and more technically. The best way to start with Dallas is to put Picard in the goal. If he misses a couple of goals, you will always have time to get back to Skinner. Do not become a hostage to the illusion that Skinner is a good goalkeeper, today in two periods they threw at his goal 4 times thanks to the team, then he began to miss again, but in his interview we again hear nonsense that he is good and coped with all the problems...15 shots on goal and you'll almost always see three missed, that's all you need to know about Skinner. Today he tried, he wanted to play well, but as I already wrote, it doesn't matter at all whether he tries, he's a good guy or not, the only important thing is that he's a mediocre goalkeeper and nothing is changing yet.

❤

All hail the mighty Knob!!

smartest move not to play mcloud

This guys pretty sharp.

This series has shown the Knob has gigantic balls

Where are the Band wagon jumpers? I want to see the "Dallas in 4 comments." Just to see how many of them forget to change their user names from when they were Canuck "fans."

C'mon folks, we all know Connor's the real coach. And he does a good job!

Great job calling that timeout! It sounds funny to say; however, it was well timed and much needed to get us to the series victory. Congratulations!

Let’s go Moose Jaw Warriors !!

It helps that McDavid draws 2 and 3 defenders, creating an overlap.

oil vs oil

they clearly still arent very sure of how hockey is supposed to be played, when there is 5 minutes left in the game your supposed to turtle do nothing and try to block shots. Or, do what you did to get the lead, keep playing , keep possession of the puck.....because they cant score if they dont have the puck maybe someday.....

Well I admit coach was right in game 6 starting Skinner. The team d was sick. Van could barely get shots on net for two games. Anyone underestimating EDM now is foolhardy.

In Knob we trust

You may want to sit Mcleod out for a game or two next series. He's made 3 big mistakes in the last 2 games. Vinny never should have made that pass however. So 2 1/2 mistakes.

SN needs to get rid of spector

you gave the puck back to them constatnly for 30 minutes!! stopped making plays coming out of the zone. it was an absolute joke, lucky not to blow it.

Still don't think Knoblach's style of coaching suits the playoffs but we'll see. The Oilers are beat up and don't really strike fear into their opponents physically, at all. We'll see but Dallas is on another level.

Mcleod sucks

Nurse

Skinner is garbage please don’t play him

DALLAS IN 5
