I had to chuckle at Brian Burke’s comment in an interview I saw yesterday on why Dallas Eakins wasn’t considered the big job.  Burke said “Eakins has never coached a playoff game in the AHL”.   After 5+ years of seeing Leaf players heading to the golf course at the end of the 82 game regular season, years where they have been lead by coaches with play-off experience, I’m not sure this one makes a lot of sense to me.
