Because if the coach doesn't comply to the local media and thus the fans desire for their pound of flesh and assigning singular blame as they already have determined, however irrational, he's suddenly the problem and rumors are started about him.
No team has to prepare for the Oilers goalies or team defense, it's the other end of the ice and transition that causes opponents the problems.
