We will see.
The biggest difference between this team and teams of the last few years has nothing to do with who is on the ice, but instead who is behind the bench. Eakins (IMO only) will make a world of difference in how the players approach the game.
It may not manifest itself right away as far as wins/losses, but (and again this is just my opinion) I see where that thing is headed and its all in a good direction.
And believe me when i say this....i dont like having to think this way as i am as old school as it gets when it comes to the Flames.... which means i despise the Oilers more than any other team in sports.
