250Integra Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 How this guy keeps getting head coach gigs is beyond me... he has stunk everywhere he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 This has to be his last shot at an NHL coaching gig. He sucks. Off to the Willie Desjardins school of Real Good for this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Salute to the ultimate tank commander. Pair him with Stillman, Sbisa, Megna and Taylor Hall on the bench and that's the expressway to Generational talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 At least Desjardins never got another coaching gig, as did Green. Eakins seems to somehow keep ruining franchises. Just watch, the Ducks will go out and get a good coach (umm...Bruce??) add Fantilli or Bedard and be a playoff contender next year in a heart-beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 To be fair, Eakins did Anaheim a huge favour this year... Anaheim should be grateful for that pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he stunk or are the teams he coaches garbage? Not like he had a lot to work with in Anaheim or Edmonton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Pettersson Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 So, Eakins does exactly what he is told to do, which is to tank hard for Bedard, and now he gets fired for it? At least give the guy a chance to coach the generational talent he worked hard to acquire and see what happens... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did his job in both cases to set up these teams for success by tanking for TWO generational talents...

Warhippy Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Got their top 3 pick and are kicking him to the curb. Expect to see a big name hired immediately after the draft like Quenneville, Vigneault or Babcock. Barring that maybe someone like Gronberg or Nelson. Whatever the casde, the ducks will draft one of Bedard, Carlsson or Fantilli and with the kids they already have, the depth they've acquired between age 18 and 22 over the last 4 years plus their 27 picks over the next 3 drafts this team will be gifting some lucky coach an absolute powerhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngould21 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) I remember this board being all in on hiring Eakins years ago. I'm amazed he got jobs as a head coach. Edited April 14, 2023 by johngould21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically firing him, tomato, tomahto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a very desirable job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Travis Green, c'mon down. Your the next contestant on "I'm a crap coach". Lot's of connections with the Ducks, you never know. Although their GM seems smarter than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
