Are NHL Coaches Getting Fired Too Fast? + Vegas Advances to Conference Final

The NHL coaching carousel keeps spinning — and this time, Kris Knoblauch is out in Edmonton.

On today’s episode of the DFO Rundown, we break down the Edmonton Oilers’ decision to fire Knoblauch and examine the growing trend of NHL coaches getting fired after only one or two seasons behind the bench. Are teams becoming too impatient? Is the pressure to win immediately creating impossible expectations for coaches across the league?

We also dive into the Minnesota Wild blowing a 3-1 lead and how Vegas suddenly looks like a legitimate Stanley Cup threat once again. Plus, we preview the upcoming Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche matchup and debate whether Vegas is the toughest challenge Colorado has faced so far this postseason.
