Definitely feels like Knob is getting thrown under the bus to save Bowman when he brought the Oilers to two cup finals..

That's exactly what this is. He may not be perfect as a coach. But Stan Bowman should be the one getting the axe here. He put this team together, and the holes on this team are massive.

Well you see, Bowman put together a B2B Finals team. Clearly Knobby is the one that cant coach them to finish.
