In his first year ever as a head coach this guy is going head-to-head and sometimes outcoaching someone who's been doing his job for nearly three decades.
As a life-long Rangers fan, I am so proud of Kris. He was my choice to replace Gallant as Rangers head coach. Kris did a terrific job in filling in for Gallant last year when Gallant was sick. Solid Rangers minor league coach, too.
I'm 44 years old and been an oilers fan for 39 years! I've never in my life witnessed this level of drama and intensity in a playoff run. Go Oilers! get em in 7!
Finally – welcome to the future of coaching. These are men, not kids, they don't need a coach to 'scream and yell' at them, or (see Ken Hitchcock or Mike Babcock) make them into a player they are not. These 'men' know what to do, they know if they are playing poorly or playing great. All they need is a system to play in, and then a bit of guidance , that's it. This is what I believe Kris does – and gee, it works, eh Torts?
Well done, Kris! All the best to you and the Oilers in the next game!!! and next year, and the year after and ……!!! Oilers fan from Melbourne, Australia.
Part of the reason why the oilers came back from the brink of defeat is this man…..His demeanor and his positive attitude spreads to the rest of his guys is what is required to be a winning team. Way to go coach! 👋👋👋
The oilers WILL win the cup because they fight hard and dam well deserve it. They have come back many times and proved to everyone how collective team winning is done
Can somebody please explain to me, why is Chris not automatically hired for next season? Man made magic out of garbage (state team was at at the point of his hiring)
At 0 – 2 I still sincerely thought they had a chance. The third game loss was really tough and I admit I did not even watch game 4 because I did not want to see the cup handed to Florida on Edmonton ice. Last two games the Oilers are amazing. It won’t be easy and I am sure the coach knows wat to say but I believe they can win game 7. Florida is in shock. In the last two games they cannot match the Oilers. It’s especially hopeful because they won game 6 without McDavid carrying them. The whole team is dialed in. That’s awesome to see.

I hope they offer Kris a long term coaching contract with the Oilers' organization!

He also was a coach of McDavid in World Juniors.

the real Jack Adams winner
I love how this team never gets ahead of themselves. They understand the importance of being in the moment and the details they have to deal with.
