Edmonton Slipping on Oil

The Edmonton Oilers have been on a really! cold streak. They have not won a game against a western opponent and there has been talk for a while about getting a new coach and you know your team is bad when they get booed of the ice by their own fans in their own arena!. But what is the real reason  why they are bad? they have 3 first overall picks in the last 4 years so whey are they a bad team. Edmonton has not won at home since October and winless against western conference teams dropping to 0-12-3 that's not the greatest record that a team can have. Some people are saying that they need to trade players. Edmonton has not made the playoffs since 2005-2006 season and they went all the way to the cup final but they lost to the Carolina Hurricanes in seven games. Is that what the Oilers need the players from the 05-06 season back?. Dallas Eakins the head coach is under a lot of pressure after having one of the worst records last year and this year again he is hanging by a thread for his job as head coach for the Oilers. But is it really his fault? he cant hop over the boards and lace up skates and play. Dallas will need to find a new strategy for his team if they ever want to get back in the Stanley Cup playoffs or even to win a single game against a western opponent. Oilers captain Andrew Ference said that their play on special teams is a "joke". After Arizona scored 2 times on the same penalty kill and than scoring 4 in the second period to help the Coyotes get a 6-2 victory over the Oilers. will the Oilers pain and suffering even end?.


I think that Edmonton isn't bad but they have a bad game plan they have the players to be a Cup contending team but their plan isn't good. They need to do something with their upper management or just fire Dallas Eakins he hasn't done a good job plain and simple he clearly isn't a good coach and he needs to be gone. But will Edmonton fire him? they must think that he is a good coach because he is still there and I am sure that he will be there after this season too.
