Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch has developed a reputation of being extremely calm at all times in public, but now fans have seen a new side of him.
Knoblauch has appeared so calm for so long, even in intense situations, to the point that some Oilers fans were frustrated with his lack of emotion. Behind closed doors though, he shows a lot more.
Intense video emerges of Oilers locker room shows new side of Coach Knoblauch
In a new video circulating on social media from the Oilers, Coach Knoblauch is recorded absolutely tearing into his team for their early season issues. It's difficult to make out exactly what he's saying, but it's clear he's ticked off.
There's no chance of winning against anybody! On the attack, we're f***ing standing still here, and we're f***ing looking to make a dipsy doodle, make a f***ing little pass.
If we can't clean up that, we can't clean up

After a few seasons of never even once seeing Knoblauch mildly angry, this is a shock to many fans - and a welcome sight that he has this in him.
Sometimes the coach does need to dial up the volume and passionately get his message across, and some thought Knoblauch wasn't capable of it. Especially with their weak play so far this year, fans love to see Knoblauch responding this way.
The Oilers have won their last two games, but still haven't brought their best efforts - they've got some wins with some very lucky bounces.
Tonight, they'll have another chance to turn around the momentum in this season, and continue to stack up wins and climb the standings once again.
