I guess they just wait for the road trip to finish before firing Woody, or else McAvi would have been the interim head coach - maybe he already has been the real head coach for years...

I guess they decided to wait for the new payroll cycle to begin today.

Let the cycle continue in the tirefire up north.

Figured that organization would finally get past mickey mouse antics if blaming one person, after Lowe suddenly left after getting his HOF and then number retired in Edmonton, but I guess not.
Woodcraft of course was only hired because he could've been controlled by aforementioned Lowe where Tippet wasn't, so Woody is pretty disposable.

Last week it was the goalie, so send him to the minors. Now the coach. Holland is gone after the season.

Similarly, blame was Talbot, then McLellan, then Chia a couple go rounds ago.

Not surprising, when Rishaug (I think it was) worded his tweet that nothing would happen while on the trip that seemed to leave it wide open for something to happen after the road trip. We know that the Edmonton media are just mouthpieces for the team so that tweet seemed to set up the firing happening once they got back from Seattle.

I don't think that Woodcroft is a great coach but much like us I don't think that coaching is the problem or solution to the problems at that club.

He should be proud, he lasted longer than the last lackie AHL coach.
Remember when Lowe decried that McTavish had to actually babysit and hold Todd Nelson's hand behind the bench for the first 10 games after they fired Eakins.

Gluegun incoming? Has to be.
