Summary
Vegas Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon is firing back at the Edmonton Oilers, calling out their decision to leak the story about being denied an interview with coach Bruce Cassidy — a move McCrimmon says only escalated the situation. Instead of pressuring Vegas into letting Cassidy interview, the Oilers’ public backlash forced them to act fast, ultimately leading to coach Kris Knoblauch’s firing. McCrimmon insists Vegas had every right to block the interview, and the Oilers’ attempt to weaponize the story backfired spectacularly. Now, with Vegas holding all the cards and no intention of bending to public opinion or Oilers demands, the situation is locked in — on Vegas’s terms, not anyone else’s.
