Ok, well, I beg to differ. As much as we like to rag on the Oilers (me included), I don't agree with 'firing' someone before a very sensitive holiday, the optics are just terrible.
Sure he's getting paid to not work, and we can all have a laugh at this, but at the end of the day, it's still a ###### move from the Oilers - especially considering Eakins' firing was hardly the solution to this deep-rooted problem (a fun problem to watch for the rest of us, though).
