The footage reportedly showed the players celebrating well into the early hours, prompting an immediate response from Knoblauch after team officials verified multiple witness accounts and security recordings.

In a statement that’s already going viral across social media, the Oilers’ head coach didn’t hold back:

> “If you think skipping practice and lying about it makes you an Edmonton Oiler, think again — not on my ice, not under my watch.”

Insiders describe Knoblauch’s decision as part of a growing push to restore discipline and accountability within the Oilers’ locker room, amid mounting pressure for the team to maintain focus during a critical stretch of the season.

While the organization has yet to release an official comment on the length of the suspensions, several analysts have praised Knoblauch’s decisive action, calling it “a defining moment in his coaching tenure.”
