Oilers lose 7-1: Eakins' swan song?

[Jtown]

Hindsight is 20/20. With the defence the Flyers have this year it doesn't really matter who is in the net. Bob was looking grim during that time of the trade.


This Eakins presser does indeed sound like a final post game presser no? Sounds like he's talking about the players as a past. Saying THEY can, but it seems he doesn't think he'll be around

He has to be fired.


I'll say this, Eakins has shown what he can do with a competent roster. This roster has never shown any sort of success whatsoever.

A coaching change might bring a brief boost to the team but this roster is flawed top to bottom

 

[McDrailers]

This caller has the right idea.

Wana give me the short and sweet version?

 

[sepHF]

Blackhawks only had one guy above 20 minutes. Must be nice have depth.

At least Shultz wasn't above 20 minutes.

When a team is blowing another team out of the water they usually spread the ice time around and give young / bottom 6 guys more icetime.

the guy from Red Deer?

This caller has the right idea.

Would you type what he said as I was busy bashing my head in.

We don't need anymore forwards other than grinders. So this McDavid thing has nothing for me unless we package him and deal him. We need a real goalie and real stud D. It boggles my mind that Leddy and Boychuk both wound up on the Islanders and we have the pylons we have. Drop the dime to Marty he may want some extra cash. if we can get a stop or two in the first we won't be chasing the game. Oh Goaltender coach needs to be turfed.

Season ticket holder from Red Deer that won't be going to any more games. He says Katz already has his new arena coming so why should he care and what a joke it was that Katz went to bat for Lowe last year when the fan campaign to turf him was going on. He feels bad for guys like RNH and Hall. Also urged Oiler fans to stop buying jerseys and tickets.

 

[Kayen]

UGH! Just saw the players get booed on the way to the dressing room. Absolutely HATE that. Silence ok, but really dislike booing. I know it's part of sports, it's just my opinion.

Losing a pile of games in a row badly and showing no heart? I don't know why you hate it. They deserves all the boos all the fans can muster. This team is a pile of ****

Preach that ****!

Ugh Hall is defending Dallas.

 

[TML1]

When the leafs were looking for coaches yet they still let Eakiins go should tell ya!

 

[oobga]

wow, guy calls in 1260 and says we need to wait 2 more years for our farm team to magically make the team better. Basically blames the lack of farm team years ago. 3 #1 picks dude. Spending to the cap dude. If this team can't get out of 30th in the league how is 2 more years of developing Kale Kessy gonna help?

I'm also from Red Deer, I haven't went to an Oilers game in over a year.

 

[Del Preston]

Now this caller is dumping all over Lowe.

According to the hosts Katz was at the last two games.

 

[Soundwave]

Callers on Ched are dead on.

Yeah, he's probably just grinning at the countless people at the game. I'm taking your money fools, hawhawhaw.

 

[oiler4ever]

Firing Eakins will not resolve anything. Must start from Lowe to Eakins. not just Eakins

 

[Numz]

Wow, I feel sorry for this guy talking on Ched right now.

Yea!

So much passion from these guys and you can hear the deep sadness in their voices. Specially the guy that said he used to drive from Red Deer.

 

[OttawaOilers]

Callers on Ched are dead on.

They're speaking what we, as an HFOilers Board are saying.

 

[Xelebes]

Ugh Hall is defending Dallas.

I don't mind. Owner wants one-way hockey dammit!

If they get McDavid and he's the one traded, I'm done.

Won't happen but I like the enthusiasm. Matter of the fact is the oilers games are corporate now. Much like the Leafs. IF there were many passionate fans the booing/cheers start at 4-0. Not 20 Seconds left in a 7-1 game

 

[OttawaOilers]

Sounds like Hall's crying. Sounds like everyone is so depressed right now...

 

[Del Preston]

Ugh Hall is defending Dallas.

Taylor is too good of a kid to throw the coach under the bus, even when it is blatantly obvious that things aren't working here.
