Does anyone read lips?

[Domino1]

This clip of Eakins talking to Hall doesn't look too friendly. Would anyone know what is actually being said/yelled at to Hall? Body language doesn't seem to indicate a coach trying to teach a player on the games nuances

They clearly don't get along

 

[molsonmuscle360]

He was muttering in the first part so hard to see what he was saying, he did say something about getting the puck in deep and getting the **** in there. Didn't seem particularly harsh to me.

 

[MISC*]

The bald dude seems kind of surprised too.

 

[Dave]

He was just venting about how he can't get his hair to shine like it does in shampoo commercials.

Would anyone get along with Eakins? His body language speaks volumes of his personality, and I don't refer to just this clip. If you look at the water bottle incident from last year, throwing the towel at Hall was very juvenile. I would hope a proper coach would go to that player and encourage him to take that anger/frustration out on the opposing team.

Reminds me of Kevin Nealon in Happy Gilmour "Harness The Energy"

Maybe Kevin Nealon could be our new coach?

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

I think he starts with "Look at me-Look at me when I'm talking..."

 

[oiler4ever]

as i said before this guy is George Burnette v2.0

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Looks like Hall is barely listening and Eakins is loosing his ****.

It looks like he says "finish the job now" when he flexes

maybe he's talking about Hall putting an end to his coaching career

I look at this and laugh.

Doesn't matter what the words were. Look at the face, the expression, the tongue lashing.

Sorry, but in guy world you don't get to pull that aggressive talk **** to another man like that when you're a scrawny 160lbs.

Pulling that **** out of rank and hierarchy just makes you look more pathetic.

Its classic small man syndrome.

If you're going to do something like that it helps to have a Babcock type demeanor.

If you don't have that demeanor, and scrawny Eakins doesn't, then to pull that card makes you look like a duck mouthing off a pitbull. With similar results.

If I'm Hall and this happens anywhere else I'm asking WTF this guys problem is.

You can state any words, state any thing, but you don't state it in that matter unless you know you're tough. Unless you know you can back your tone.

No wonder Eakins pisses off these players.

What do we live in the 1960s again? Do you allow women to watch hockey games or do they need to be in the kitchen making your meals while you do man things? Wow.

It's not okay for anyone to talk to another (EDIT: person) like that. Maybe you need an attitude check just as much as Eakins does if you fail to understand that.

We're talking a physical pro sport here where fighting is very much part of it. You think its wise that a scrawny man like Eakins starts beaking off somebody that could put him in the 3rd row and likely wants to some times?

Perron had to talk Hall down last season on the bench when this happened.

Eakins is playing the wrong card here and that's the bigger point.

I'm not somebody that has to fight or engage in that. But I can impose like that if I wanted to and don't. Because theres much more effective ways to convey than to scream at somebody.

 

[FunkyChicken]

Unless I get an audio telling me otherwise, looks like he's telling Hall to shoot the puck. Not sure what the big deal is.

 

[longtimeoilfan]

He looks quite intense...

The guys a tool, and should not be coaching in the NHL.

Ummm.. Humans of all shape and sizes can have the same ego as Eakins.

But Eakins clearly is not coach material. Getting angry and throwing tantrums is something children and unintelligible people do. It's only a matter of time before this sorry sack gets fired..

Edit: Ramsay is looking at Eakins and I'm guessing he is thinking "What is your problem man?"

Thank you. It shouldn't be happening ideally. But for a guy to do this and think he's getting away with this out of rank and superiority (i.e. I'm going to talk to you like this out of role because I'm coach) is pathetic. Eakins is dead man walking here.

Guess what happens if even a few of the high priced players here lock hands and go to management about their concerns.

A coach does need to be able to come down on his players no matter what place in the roster they may have. You know I want Eakins gone as bad as the rest, but half the problem with these kids is that noone behind the bench reigns them in. If you don't sometimes yell at your players as a hockey coach, you aren't doing your job.

As long as he didn't put his hands on him, or throw anything at him like last year, I'm fine with him yelling. Sometimes players need that to wake them up a little. They aren't stock boys at a grocery store, they are athletes, and it's part of the aspect of that life.

The big deal is coach is screaming, ranting, and losing it on a player. A #1 draft player with much more value than the guy in a suit losing his gasket.

If Eakins thinks this is the path to success he's drawing at his last straws. Theres so many ways that mutually respect to use to convey information. Not yelling and beaking off at somebody.

I think Eakins is taking it over the line here. Surprised Hall resisted as much as he did by just turning his cheek twice. Which makes Hall more mature than the man in a position of responsibility coaching him.

jmo Eakins tried to pull some aggressive monkey **** here.

Its like Richie Cunningham trying to learn how to sound tough from Fonzie..

 

[Gone]

As a lip reading expert, I can unequivocally state that Eakins said:

"Oh Boy, l took my dog out last night so he could take a big fat crap, and then my neighbor said **** you and get the dog off my lawn"

Where does he take it over the line though? He's simply yelling at a player to get a point across. It happens multiple times a night on every NHL bench.

In his physical prime Eakins would've kicked Hall's ass. Yes he sucks as a coach, but I'm still not sure that Hall could take him in a scrap today.

You're absolutely right it's not okay. But not because he's less of a manly man than Taylor Hall is - but rather because he's a person. You'd think we'd moved beyond that sort of disgusting attitude, but apparantly it's alive and well in folks.

 

[GMofOilers]

Lets rip the only player that is trying to carry this team on his back. Great job Eakins!!!
