But also the year before went to game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals and if Stolarz doesn’t get hurt who knows. In another thread you said it’s Knobs fault for the performance of Mangiapane and Tomasek it cannot always be the coaches fault and some blame needs to be put on players as well.

The players always get tons of responsibility and blame. But Berube isn't a great coach. He's not exactly a tactician. He just wants a lunch bucket effort out of guys - but coaching is a long way past that nowadays. Your best coaches make adjustments - in prep for games and even in-games in order to help your team win. They have to be able to diagnose what's happening, then come up with a solution and then get their team prepared to make those changes in order to take advantage of that solution. It's a really difficult job, and there's not enough guys who are really good at it.
There are some though - and then there's a bunch of guys who get hired as a coach because they were really good soldiers when they played and people in power positions (often other old hockey players) think they are good guys and that their hard-nosed streak will inspire teams to just try really hard.
My read is Berube is more of the latter than the former.
I'm all for the Oilers doing a couple more interviews, but this is the most important season in a generation, possibly in all of Oilers history. I want an exceptional coach - especially if the team trots back essentially the same roster again next year (and they very well might).
