Better GMs available than coaches. Might be the better move, frankly.

at least he would show some (frank)ing emotion on the bench

Eberle is starting to lose his care. on pace for 56points and 6 mil a year for a guy with zero intangibles. If he isnt scoring he isnt doing a thing. If i was edmonton id be moving him sooner rather than later but im sure they wont cause they are the biggest joke ever

I was going to agree with you until your last comment, then i wanted to kick you in your teeth, then i went back and looked at this team and it's results. Now I just don't know what to do anymore

MacT must be getting riled that Eakins has had all these prime press conferences to make snarky quips #ItsCraigsTurn

The only thing Eakins has ever done that i liked was when he made Spector feel like the idiot he is about hitting more, in a game where we had made more hits..

I hope that is not true but it was going to happen sooner or later as winners like Hall can only take losing year after year for so long. It is unfortunate but if you are in one of the more undesirable markets in the NHL it is most important to ice a team that can compete at a high level or be faced with this problem.
- HawkfaninBC

Hall said yesterday that he does not want Eakins to take the fall. Its on the players and he wants to get this turned around. He does not want out.

Hey man, you came a lonnnnng way to make it to third. If SJS didn't keep choking you still wouldn't be in my top 3. Don't get greedy. Also, it's kind of a toss up for 3rd between you and Detroit, only becuase Lidstrom is gone. Once Datsyuk retires you will be soley in 3rd

Just listened to Elliot Friedman on the fan and he basically said what I was saying. They don't want to fire the coach because they want to players to hold themselves accountable and they fired too many coaches already. And he hasn't been given a good enough roster to work with. I think that's the general consensus among non oiler hockey fans.

I've heard fire the coach from tons of non oiler fans.

But there are a few oiler fans that believe it's hugely roster, development, intangibles as much as coaching too.

trying to pigeon hole all oiler fans as blind doesn't prove much brah

I don't think it's true.

If you had a friend in an NHL org. who was important enough to hear that info chances are you'd respect you could ruin his career by sharing the rumour and more than likely he'd never tell you.

It's not like they're holding staff meetings telling the skate sharpeners "Just so you know, Hallsy wants out."

- Morris

This reality check does not fit on HB...but the rumour sure upseated Ek's rumour

Well yeah I'm sure someone who plays on Toronto is from there.

EDIT: Also I wouldn't hate it.

Great:
trade first line winger and one of the teams leading scorers for a 3 - 4 defenceman

- oilstone

Eberle is a first line winger on the Oilers and maybe 10 other teams. He's not a top 30 winger, though.
