Eakins gets the nod.

Too bad the Stars didn't try harder.

Re: Oilers show K-oooger the door
So any fatties playing for the Oilers? they just got a little worried.
Don't follow the AHL so curious to see if Eakins hype is warranted or just a product of the Toronto media engine.

Re: Oilers show K-oooger the door
I thought someone posted on this site in the Toronto forum that Eakins is pretty much Ron Wilson 2.0, which should be great news for Oilers fans...for one season at least.Hounsy wrote:So any fatties playing for the Oilers? they just got a little worried.

Re: Oilers show K-oooger the door
On one hand, I don't blame MacTavish for not flying out to see Krueger in person for a meeting that might last all of 1 minute. That said, it looks readily apparent the Oilers weren't interested in retaining him, so why wait until he's halfway across the world?MrBumpNgrind wrote:they fired him via Skype while he was on Vacay in the land of Cheese and Chocolate. tells me they rushed it pretty quick

Re: Oilers show K-oooger the door
Eh, they wanted to bring in Eakins as an assistant, and when it became apparent he wouldn't take that, they had to make a decision on Kruger or Eakins. I can see why the delay.Av-merican wrote:On one hand, I don't blame MacTavish for not flying out to see Krueger in person for a meeting that might last all of 1 minute.

That said, the last time they did a Head Coach with his assistant as coach in waiting was the start of their decline into the cellar... Quinn with Renney.

Re: Oilers show K-oooger the door
So...think some folks in the NHL might consider K-oooger for a coaching job if he somehow ends up winning the World Cup with Team Europe?
