Kris chats with the media after the Oilers arrived in Vancouver on Wednesday.

[@palyze]

what a good coach. smart, calm, cognisant, confident etc. not afraid to make changes and the decisions he does make, they make sense.

[@Farco2]

Dont lose sight of the game tomorrow. You gotta bring it because Vancouver is gonna come out flying.

[@natedawg3855]

Picks better be starting tomorrow! He earned game 5!

[@Whatsoever19]

PICKARDDDDDDDDD

[@georgembaker2799]

Hasn't been out-coached yet. Keep it going Coach K😊

[@camilan3813]

Good heart coach, not putting down his team🧡💙 You will definitely win 🏆 this year!

[@leandrogonzales6460]

i like how coach KK is straightforward.

[@RajBauer]

Man sometimes these reporter questions are so stupid and knob answers them with such grace, I wish I had the patience of this man lol

[@mrfake675]

Good old Saskatchewan humility

[@averyview]

My left headphone loved this video 🤩

IN KNOB WE TRUST 🫡🫡🫡

[@dilloncrowe3199]

His calming demeanour is why he was brought in. Just calm and collected even after a loss.

[@joejones8810]

The Edmonton Oilers are the next Stanley Cup Champions.

[@bobpowers9637]

😂 premature celebration 🎉

[@Whatsoever19]

Keep counting the canucks out. lol Mcdavid and drai know better. Demko to start game 5 Inside info here but make sure Pickard is ready to go.... HOME WITH A LOSS 😂

[@rolandunger8357]

Wishful thinking, but thats ok

[@BobsUruncle-dl7cs]

Skinner needed a rest,he is ready now.

[@lonewolfwarrior2143]

Better be playing Pickard game #5 he earned it, has played great all season!!

[@mrburns91]

Does anyone else hear Spec's voice and immediately wince?

[@cindyrussell1581]

Same lines for game 5

[@CalmBirdNest-fn2xq]

is henrique done? any news on him

[@dr.feelgood9067]

Give the crease to Jack. He's earned it with his body of work this year. lol

[@gged]

Spector calling out the 3rd line .. ooohhh

[@KillerCarrot]

Spector is the worst media person in edmonton.

[@allenu]

I wanna know how we can get a little "less" out of Spector

[@lonewolfwarrior2143]

I cringe every time I hear him speak .

[@user-kn8bu5gr7u]

Let's go McLeod, Holloway, Janmark, Foegele

[@visionquest520]

Ballsy move pays off. Knobs made the right call not only in net but changing the lines. Have to go with pickard in gm 5 he earned it. Kaner crushed thier d man led to goal. Drai in different position froze Vancouver for a second long enough for drai to get it to boocher. Nuge was huge. Good adjustments knob keep it up. 😊

[@nicolasderuiter1699]

What were the lines?

[@nicolasderuiter1699]

I just love the way this man thinks and speaks

[@barryjgillis]

@@nicolasderuiter1699 If you watched the game, you would know what the line changes were. Maybe take the time to watch the next game!!!

[@BoomerBaz1]

My wife (the assistant coach) could make the decision on who starts the next game! 😅

[@NHLfromBN]

Man looks locked tf in

[@JesMcdld-nb6pg]

This is the time Woody pulled Skinner Campbell came in played great then he should have put Campbell in but went to Skinner in a win or go home stressful and instead he goes with Skinner and they loose I was shocked to hear Campbell wasn't starting that game he was experienced and should have been the starter after Skinner got pulled game before Campbell came in and played good wrong move go or start Picard at least

[@petrchladek4962]

What the hell kind of backdrop is that? Jesus, I’m going to have a stroke

[@troybaier5460]

U ok man?

[@cgeescorts1487]

There should be no hesitation whatsoever. Pickard plays period. No more Skinner. When are you guys gonna learn? Don't F*ck it up now. If you don't know now, you never will. Do you have to lose the whole series to learn?

[@TiggaTrey]

i agree skinner will keep costing them games they should have gotten a decent goalie at the deadline LOOOL

[@jessiefroese5591]

You do realize he’s just saying he’s not sure what goalie so the other team can’t prepare for it. Don’t worry pickard will start lol

[@mithex8414]

At some point Skinner will have to get in the net again. But not this series. Maybe game 1 of the next round (if we can win) he'll get another shot. He's still a much better goalie than Pickard but his body language and confidence is in the toilet at the moment. We will need him at his best if we wanna win the cup.

[@lonewolfwarrior2143]

I’m so glad he didn’t pull a Woodcroft and let the series fall on Skinner. Picks played great, like he has all year!! Better be playing game #5 !!

[@joeynash4505]

@@mithex8414that’s honestly not even true. Rarely ever does Skinner steal a game so how is he way better than Pickard. Skinner only has good stats when we play bottom 15 teams and play good defense.

[@Whatsoever19]

Demko cleared to start game 5 LOL CALVIN PICKARD Game 2 while Stu sits lol Oilers need to play top line 60 mins now

[@TheWarawaj]

I truly hope to see some changes in the line up in game 5. Keep the to 6 forwards the same.(RNH/McD/HyM...Hollywood/Drais/Kaner) Brown/Clouder/Foegs should be on the 3rd line Brown has speed and was scoring @ the end of the year. 4th line Gagne/Carrick/Perry. (Gagne can score, DR & Janmark can't. Carrick will be more physical and make up for poor performances earlier in playoffs. Perry needs a checking shut down role, since scoring isn't his calling ATM) Keep top D pair the same. Nurse/Kulak (Kulak played RD for years in MONT) play together as 2nd pair Broberg/Vinnie 3rd pair

[@lowtierduster-7254]

i’d honestly give carrick a shot on 3rd with perry and foegle i think he’s easily better than brown dr and janmark

[@mrfake675]

Big brain small ego

[@pushnook]

They cannot play Skinner not in the crunch now, he has been too shakey!

[@lindsayguinan3450]

First

[@joejones8810]

Knoblauck thinks a lot. Hockey is the fastest sport in the world. If you think, the puck is already in the net. Don't think anymore. Just be the best.

[@lowtierduster-7254]

you have to think you’re the best to be the best

Hopefully Vancouver will wipe the condescending smirk of his face in game 5
