The Oilers are taking on the personality of their head coach

Let me start this by saying I’m not calling for Kris Knoblauch’s head.

I have a gripe with the head coach that’s been gnawing at me for a while. It isn’t the biggest issue with the Oilers right now. *ahem something something goaltending and the team can’t defend aheeem*

It’s not even the systems debate and Knoblauch’s fib this week.

Let’s talk about Knoblauch, the politician and public communicator, or, as I’ve billed him, “The Librarian.”

Here’s the head coach after the Dallas loss on Tuesday.
