The Edmonton Oilers have had Dave Tippett behind the bench for the past two seasons and during that time all they have done is make it to the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs once. This season, there are no more excuses for Tippett.
The Edmonton Oilers head coach is definitely in the hot seat right now depending on how things go this season.
The Edmonton Oilers need to start seeing some results in the postseason. While the issues of last year’s playoffs could be chalked up to not having enough depth, that is no longer an excuse as Ken Holland went out and tried to address the bottom six.
