Staples with a great boiled down story on Eakins, originally written by Cox (ugh!). But gives some history on the new head coach.

http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/2013/06/14/the-must-read-st ory-if-you-want-to-know-about-dallas-eakins-as-reported-by-t he-toronto-star/

Both parts are interesting backstory on his upbringing and player / coaching, but again some tidbits caught my eye....

1. Reading about how he watched "like 200 games" and has this mantra about fitness and eating (like the whole Kadri mess) still makes me think he has a single minded focus to details; if it doesnt fit it his mind, it doesnt work.

Kadri was going to Gary Roberts for training; was he implying Kadri wasnt fit enough and Roberts wasn't working him hard? And just because you watched 200 games doesn't mean you've seen everything and your opinion is right?

2. While this kind of coaching style may work on AHL players trying to make the big show, I think it's gonna wear thin on multimillion dollar NHL players who have fitness trainers, mental coaches and mostly " made it".

The whole work ethic and giving 100% thru four lines will pay dividends in the room and possibly on the ice, i cant see how this coaching change is a game-changer.

Maybe if he brings on a better supporting staff and MacT upgrades the supporting cast significantly, things will turn around. Somehow i'm not sold....
