You may be on to something but it's pretty low class stuff taking shots at a coach that is on his way out. Even the Oilers players didn't bad mouth Eakins despite everyone in North America (outside of Craig MacTavish) knowing he was the worst head coach in the NHL by a long shot. McLellan is a good NHL head coach that got caught in the spiral of a team in decline. It's probably best for all involved that he moves on but keep that stuff to yourself or behind closed doors.
I used to not mind Jumbo Joe but I after all his trash talk I have come to the conclusion that I would never want him on my team and if there was ever any merit to him being a good leader it's been severely tarnished.
