Petry is a healthy scratch, not injured, not sick, healthy scratch.....

What's your defense for that Jeropotato? Has Petry been our worst D in the first 2 games?

Ludicrous to scratch petry if he's healthy.
Absolutely brainless move

Alright man, Eakins is going to ruin this kid and you're all going to support him in doing so.

i feel like i'm taking crazy pills. i don't understand how anyone could possibly be in favour of how Eakins has used this kid and ruined his confidence. It's a (frank)ing joke and it amazes me that people defend it.

How has he ruined his confidence? He has 2 points in 2 games so far. And we're not necessarily in favour of it so much as we are understanding of why he does it this way. Hell, I'd love to see Yak get 19 minutes per game on the top line for a few games to see if he could handle it, but I also understand why he's deploying him this way.

The success and failure of this team doesn't revolve around Yak and I doubt that giving him a few extra shifts against tougher opposition will mean the difference between a win or a loss. The fact is, he's having success and looks revitalized as a player right now in the role he's in. Be happy for that rather than expecting more from this kid. Cause that's all this argument is rooted in; expecting more out of him.

u are taking crazy pills.

a 19 year old kid that was a mess defensively on a team in desperate need of solid defence. He wasn't playing how the coach wanted. Why is this confusing?

He doesn't get a pass cause he was solid in his rookie year. He's not a proven vet. Wtf are u talking about?
Ud just keep feeding the kid time regardless of how poorly he played? And he was poor. Like useless and invisible far too often.
ud be the worst fuking coach ever...

You're a (frank)ing idiot, do you even anything about hockey at all?

What do you do with a sniper who's struggeling defensively?

do you:
A) put him in a position to score, aka on 5v3s?
b) put him on the 4th line?
c) scratch him?
d) put him on his off wing on DEFENSE on 5v4s?

answer that question genius?

or you play him less than 5 minutes on the opening night? or scratch him 2 weeks in?

Was he worse defensively thatn Gagner? Hemsky? Eberle?

he played poorly because he was put in a poor position, if you're too (frank)ing slow to figure that out than obviously you don't know (frank) all about hockey.

I'd be the worst coach, you're ok with Eakins PUTTING THIS KID IN POSITION TO FAIL, but i'd be the bad coach. Give me a (frank)ing break and try to learn something about hockey, or actually try paying attention to the position he put Yakupov in, and the reasons why he was playing poorly..

(frank) me i hate you people


Hall and Ebs would be uselss and invisible too playing 5 minutes a night with (frank)ing Gazdic and Gordon.

The joke is how Eakins actually somehow gets defended on these threads.

Doesn't matter that last year we regressed IN EVERY SINGLE CATEGOREY with a better team on paper.

it's all the players fault, has nothing to do with some garbage ass idiot system.

- SpoiledByOil

The team regressed because Gagner, Smid, Schultz, and Petry regressed, and Dubnyk collapsed without a replacement. That's why we bombed. The special teams drop-off could be attributed to Eakins, but at the time, he didn't have his own associate coaches.

Overarching thing you're missing is he has 2 points in 2 games. He's in a position to succeed now and is succeeding.

Please fire Eakins, at this time he is the biggest problem this team has, one of your top 5 players on the team get a whopping 12 minutes.
Eakins you Suck!

Hall became one of the elite/premier LW in the game....

Perron had a career year and I don't know that Eberle exactly regressed. RNH also had a decent year all things considered.

Change the coach, I still don't think it will make a difference. This team doesn't play with much heart. We don't have the skillset to grind out wins. Sure maybe a new coach makes us better, but how much better? 10-15 points?
