We're approaching US Thanksgiving, and the rumblings are getting louder in some places so this seems like a prudent time to predict which coach will be shown the door first. Vote above.
 

Canuck eh?

If I could vote Danny I'd vote for Dallas Eakins on March 2nd after he gets a Christmas contract extension. But how fucking absurd would that be? You'd have to be a complete asshat to do something like that. It must be my migraine medication talking. :L

I voted for Pete Deboer, I don't think he's paying enough attention to the little details.

FWIW, I think Bob Hartley's contract expires after this season.

Thank you for not including Todd Richards. There is a lot of local talk about him being on the hot seat, and it drives me nuts.

Scotty Bowman could not get this team to win.

It would be a travesty for him to be at all held responsible for the current disaster that is the Blue Jackets.

The new fans that showed up last year are the main ones talking about it.

If he gets heat for this, I will go postal. He's a good coach.

Yeah; I'm starting to get a bit concerned about Yeo. :(

I think there's been concern about Yeo for years, but this season Minny really should be competing for a top 3 in the division and they just haven't looked capable of doing that at all, thus why I went with him.

Their next four are Sabres, Stars, Jets and Flyers. If they lose 3 of those I think you gotta make a change.

Deboer to be fair with our past history with coaching moves I'm actually surprised he's still in NJ. Pete made one good run but failed to will us to a cup in the end. Since he's been awful on many levels. Putting a lot if faith in guys past their prime that are degrading. Not handling a lot of our top young players correctly.Losing track of the system and hard work that brought us out success. And he has this team playing very inconsistent hockey. We have had some really good teams over the years a HOF goalie but we have also had success with less. This team has looked sloppy and lazy the past few years this is not devils hockey

Is it really fair to fire Dallas Eakins given what he has to work with...then again what does fairness have to do with anything?

There might be a Bill Belichick in there. Belichick coached the Browns for five years (four with losing records) before latching on with the Patriots. A change of scenery and HOF QB later, he's got a spot reserved for him in Canton when he hangs up the hoodie.

Maybe all Eakins needs is to get out of Edmonton and draft Jack Eichel.

I voted for Yeo. The Wild have high expectations & rightfully so. The fact Parise is out is a big loss, but they have to much talent on their roster to not compete for a playoff spot.


Usually, this team has a December swoon just before Christmas and running into January... not November. :wtf2:

It's not helping that they are relying on an untested Kuemper and Backstrom to mind the net.
