I got your back..............................way back

One that tracks goalies' tendencies and will put the best players out there to exploit said tendencies could help in that regard.

Now, I have no idea who does that (or has an assistant assigned to such matters), but it would be pretty cool to have one that did.

C'mon... All coaches do is decide who participates in the shootout. How much influence can they have? WTF is wrong with you?

Edit: DUMBASS

guys imagine the advanced stats arguments an Eakins hire would generate in here

If a coach has players to choose from that are good in the shootout and that can execute, then the coach will be a good shootout coach. If a coach has players that aren't good in the shootout, and don't execute, such as Giroux going 1-12, then the coach won't be a good shootout coach. Shootouts come down to player execution, not coaching.

Eakins was at one time on top of the list for a lot of posters on here. Wonder if he's fallen from grace?

Holtby out for game 2

They would sooner draft an undersized Russian in the 1st round than hire Eakins.

Bill Meltzer: Berube Fired: Who Will be Hired?
- bmeltzer

Luke Richardson is interesting but I'd like to go with a guy with a track record. I want Babcock s much as any but realistically I'm all in when it comes to Dave Tippett. What that guy has done with teams with less then impressive personnel is unbelievable.

So big day. Ding Dong, Berube's gone! What's the feeling in the room??

Don't really need to be brilliant to look at shootouts to know the role of coaches in the outcome of shootouts. Some have trouble with it though, obviously. No reason for you to feel bad about that.

Crosby was 5 for 9 this year that's 55.6% up from 37.5% (3 for 8)

Giroux was 8.3% this year down from 45.5% in 2013

Giroux was 1-12 this season. I agree with Hextall, don't expect that to be the norm. Even with that number, if I was the coach, Giroux makes my list of first 3 shooters every time.
