Press conference recap: Eakins “looking forward to embracing the work”

I know, I know...I used an infamous line from Highlander, but hey, at least there wasn’t the phenomenon of the Quickening proceeding by the lopping off of head coaching candidates heads!

Earlier today, the inevitable became official as Ducks General Manager Bob Murray publicly announced to the world that Dallas Eakins would be the team’s 10th bench boss. This is something that many of us guessed for quite sometime would happen, despite Murray interviewing other candidates for the job - which I knew he would have to do just as a formality. Also, this may very well be the last coaching hire for the GM.
