Oilers' Taylor Hall tells GM the team backs head coach Eakins
Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports
If Edmonton Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins isn't worried about his job as his players continue to underachieve, it's because Taylor Hall laid down the law.
For those ? if Eakins still has the room, Hall told me he went to Mac-t and backed the head coach, told him wasn’t a coaching issue.

Eakins took over as head coach last season and Edmonton is playing as poorly as it was before Ralph Krueger's firing.
