Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch benched Leon Draisaitl for a few shifts with the Oilers down 3 -2 against Philadelphia in the third period .
The Oilers had lost three games in a row and were down to losing a fourth in the league.
Edmonton came back to beat the Flyers in overtime to win in their second straight game.
Oilers got off to a slow start, with their stars, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl , leading the way to the bottom.
Both seemed to be going at 1/2 speed in the pre-season , then 2/3 speed even as the regular season started.
The Oilers stars were all banged up in the playoffs, with McDavid down a quart or two .
They need time to recuperate, get healthy and then get back in playing shape, but I suspect time ran out on them in their short summer .
Oilers coach Knoblauch is one of the strangest NHL coaches I’ve ever seen.
He has such a high level of emotional intelligence, an ability to calmly say the diplomatic and smart thing about his team and opponents.
He’s almost never harsh or angry. He's understanding.
