Paul MacLean is my best guess for next coach. I doubt Bylsma will want to be there.

What a shame. That's been such a treat to follow that soap opera every day. Too bad they have taken the first step to changing.

Hello!
Thanks for agreeing to be the new head coach of the Edmonton Oilers. We are honoured that you have chosen to bring your talents to Edmonton, I hope you enjoy your time with us and can help create a winning atmosphere.
Now, please step up beside this wood chipper. Please forgive the mess, we had to dispose of our previous head coach this morning.

Doesn't that happen a lot? GM says he has faith in the coach, then fires him shortly after.

Confirming MacTavish returns to bench on interim basis. Replacing Eakins who was fired this morning.

MacT going back into the coaching duties? Craig Ramsay can't take over?
The Oilers cycle (or recycle) of the old boys club continues.

I have full faith in that organization to replace him with someone even worse, even though, at this point, I don't know how that's possible.

MacTavish to coach, but there are also discussions of Todd Nelson maybe joining the bench, too. Nelson is AHL coach for Oilers.

At first I was sad that Eakins was fired.
Now I am happy that MacT has ended up as coach AND GM, when he couldn't even do the latter on it's own.
Dis gonna be good.

Teams usually seem to play better shortly after getting a new coach. McEichel are on their knees thanking the heavens.
