That is what Oilers fans are hoping as Jay Woodcroft becomes the Edmonton Oilers’ 10th head coach since 2008-09 (14 seasons). Maybe Woodcroft becomes a long-standing figure behind the bench, but longevity isn’t a word we’ve used very often when describing an Oilers’ head coach. Craig MacTavish coached the second most consecutive games in Oilers history at 656. Todd Nelson, 51 games as Interim head coach (MacT was on the bench for five games in 2014-15).
