Your points about Kadri remind me of the saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink..." Just because Kadri was training with Roberts doesn't mean he was taking it seriously or doing it properly until lately.

Also, how can you use Kadri as an argument that Eakins will be unsuccessful when you look at his spectacular playoff performance? Kadri had major flaws in conditioning and maturity before working with Eakins. Kadri even said, "He’s the glue that keeps the puzzle together, He’s the quarterback, so to speak, that gives us all the faith and confidence that we need to be successful."

Penner "made it" as an NHLer. I'm sure he had a fitness coach. Could a coach like Eakins who empasizes increased fitness and training have improved Penner's game?

You seem determined to prove that Eakins will fail before he's even coached one game.

Sorry if i'm not sold on Eakins yet. True we haven't had one real game or even a training camp to see what effect he will have. Other factors like assistant / associate coaches and new personnel are still undecided.

I just have a hard time understanding how this is a game changer for our team.

I doubt Penner would of changed under Eakins, but it's hypothetical. He sure didn't under MacT. Penner did lead our team in goals for a couple years, without being "fit".

And Kadri's playoff performance? He had 4 points with one goal (in game 7)? I would think his regular season is more an indication of his growth rather than the playoffs.

Fitness and competitiveness are character traits ANY good team have...while he might impress his mantra on fitness, we've had many coaches come thru the turnstile preaching "battling" or "going to the blue paint" or "engagement" or "passion" or aggressiveness" or "hard-work"...nothing has changed.

Hopefully with the additions of new players, a new SET of coaching voices in the room and a new approach on our defensive coverage and offensive attack, things will change.

Sorry just not buying the hype right now.
