With that hard-to-miss mullet flapping from the back of his helmet and a moustache to match, Eakin is aiming to prove that he can still play at the highest level. He’s in town on a professional tryout offer.
“I don’t think you can treat it any different,” Eakin said of the urgency that could come with a tryout opportunity. “For me, it’s when you start thinking, when you start worrying, you start missing those little things during a game. You start thinking too much. So you want to come in, put your best foot forward, work as hard as you can, do the right things every shift or every time you get a chance and then see what happens. It starts with hard work and go from there.
“Thinking back on the times I’ve played against ’em and just being impressed every single time and the way they work every night, I would like to think that suits my game, as well. I’ve always prided myself on being a work-first kind of guy and love going to the dirty areas and doing the right things. So when it came down to it, that’s kind of why it lined up.”
