Thank goodness they didn't have the patience nor tolerance to see it through.
There's no chance under this new guy. And they deserve every bit of fallout that comes from that kneejerk decision.

Yeah it kind of looked like things may (heavy emphasis on may) have been turning around under Woodcroft right when they fired him. When you make the coaching change as early as the Oilers did, it better pay off or it's season over at that was the lone card they had left to play as firing the GM in the season isn't going to change the plight on the ice. In hindsight it may have been better to hire a more experienced coach to take over this situation rather than McDavid's junior coach.
