There’s an interview Spector did with Eakins out on Sportsnet right now (someone else will have to post it or I’ll post later as I’m not able at the moment). Couple amazing tidbits to add to the list of comments on the Oilers.

Dubnyk - “The Swarm? Is that the one where everyone went in the corner and they leave a guy all alone right in front of me?”

Eakins - compares Oilers culture where management says “no, we don’t do things that way here” to Ducks culture where ownership and management is all fully bought in and aligned...

He takes responsibility for the failure here, but only kind of - there is definitely a suggestion that he didn’t have adequate support and that it would be a massive task GM to fix the culture here.

Some suggestion that the players weren’t ready to do what he was asking of them, and he suggests he had made it much better by the time he left...which is hard to square with knowing the Oilers had lost something like 15 of 16 when he was turfed and looked like they were totally demoralized.

Still, some definite veiled shade at the Oilers management in that article.



"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
