I really wouldn't mind Bylsma. Got fired after a 51 win season and has a nice, brief record of success.

That said I'm not convinced Eakins is 100% the problem. Decisions like Aulie over Marincin for 'grit' purposes drives me up the wall, but problems run deeper. Not icing your best team is inexcusable but not like the team would be above .500 w/o Eakins. D is weak, C is weak, and goaltending has been terrible. That's on MacT and some regression from the goaltending

Absolutely it was. I was trying to explain that to my buddies last night but they weren't buying it. Horribly all around play by Hendricks, just brutal

Someone should shows that play to Eakins: then ask him: what exactly was his reasons for having Hendricks with his two most defensively challenged forwards.

cause he's proven to be strong defensively.

one bad play doesn't negate all of the things Hendricks brings to this team.

Eakins clearly wanted to balance the lines the best he could.
we can argue about many things regardling eakins, but asking why he would put a defensively responsible checker with two offence first/defensively challenged guys shouldn't be one of them. maybe im misunderstanding....

Yup Hends brings a lot to this team. Lots of breakdowns on that play from everyone.

Hendricks is good with Gordon and Joenssu because they are asked and play similar game. If Hendricks was, and if Eakins thought he was, the player you claim: he should have been on that line the whole season, no?

Hendricks may have the work ethic but not the skill to play on the second line, nor to play with the two kids. He is not built for the second line nor is he built to play with them: that was a tactical error by Eakins-and it showed.

I like the show but the host is a little annoying. Same reaction to everything he eats.

Acts like he knees are crumbling, close his eyes half way, groans like he's mid orgasm and turns his head to the camera.

It drives me nuts.
