I think the whole coaching ruined the Oilers needs to go. Its another convienient excuse.
Sure Eakins was clearly not ready to be an NHL coach. But Tom Renney was, Pat Quinn was, Ralph Krueger was probably the perfect coach for the Oilers, Todd Nelson, who knows? and T-Mac.
But its the same result, bad/lazy defensive play, me first hockey, blindingly stupid play.
Even with T-Mac last year, the main reason for the improvement in gaa was a better goalie, but that team was still blindingly bad in its own end, and he certainly didn't get a better work ethic out of that team.
Yak hasn't failed because of coaching, he failed because he couldn't live up to being drafted where he was and he was in a normal year a late first rounder early second rounder.
