I bet he sucks dick like there was a prize inside. There is simply no other way he could interview and convince a manager that he should be an NHL coach.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Anaheim knew they weren’t going to be good, Eakins is strictly a filler coach.
Bullshit. They would have brought in a rookie coach for $15.50/hr instead of this preposterous dandy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I hope they start throwing their jerseys on the ice.
A rookie coach’s career would’ve begun and ended there.
Eakins knows he sucks so he’ll take any job he can get.
LoL!! It must suck to not know things.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
"Yeah, I'm totes gonna refuse this first ever coaching job in the show because I only wanna coach a Top-5 team".
RoFL
You know that Eakins was their farm team’s coach, right? They didn’t pluck him out of nowhere.
Is that relevant to anything? Does that defend your argument that a rookie coach would have refused a job coaching an NHL team in Anaheim?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Glad it's working out so well for them.
Were you actually expecting the Ducks to be good in any way shape or form?
Have you seen their roster?
Unlike the Flames, most teams are realistic about the quality of their team and plan accordingly.
I like a lot of the young players the ducks have. That team will be good in a few years if they can keep them all. Steel, Comtois, Terry, Drysdale, Zegras etcThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

current ski quiver:
park, all mtn 181 ON3P Kartel 98
park,all mtn: 181 Armada AR7
big mtn, pow: 185 Armada JJ
Exactly, but for now they suck.
Thing is, they landed some free agents and tried to be good but quickly found out they weren't so they went into rebuild.
Sure would be nice for the Flames to try that.
Hire Eakins -> get a high draft pick. Honestly it's a better deal for the organization than giving up a prospect for Taylor hall.
They'd could've had Jesus as their coach and it wouldn't have mattered.
I don't see the Ducks as throwing in the towel. They have a few decent players that they could've traded for valuable younger players & picks if they were truly giving up. Plus, they're in a division with San Jose and LA which have not done well recently, so there was a reasonable opportunity for them to put forth a decent effort this year and pick up enough points to consider playoffs.
The way the top 3 in the West have run away with things, that still wouldn't have happened but I don't think that was in their crystal ball at the start of this season.
Whatever conjecture and hindsight etc. I'm not here to argue that.
Dallas Eakins is a terrible choice for an NHL coach in any instance.
Like did you just start following the Ducks yesterday? They fired Carlyle in 2019, the team sucked back then, with the way the NHL is structured it's best just to tank than hope to squeak into the playoffs only to get your ass reamed.
They have a zillion up and comers, some of them will probably pan out. Like half their roster is ELC.
I'm not really following the Ducks. I'm not sure if I've only mentioned it twice by now, but my thesis is that Dallas Eakins sucks and no one should hire him.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'm a long way from an NHL GM; but, if I was trying to sewer my team in Anaheim, I wouldn't keep Getzlaf while I also added Shattenkirk and kept a highly competent goaltender.
All I know, is far to much energy has gone into discussing the fucking mighty ducks

Getzlaf has a no move clause and loves Anaheim.... so he's not going anywhere.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It would help if he would go to capfriendly and look at their roster for 30 seconds.
Would that make Dallas Eakins stop sucking and justify his hiring by any NHL team?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
No. It won't.
Stop reading words that aren't there. Dallas Eakins sucks.
