  1. Not sure if I buy the idea that he didn't play the kids enough...I don't recall hearing this several years ago when most of the Hawks were just kids...Maybe - just maybe the kids on the Hawks today aren't very good so Coach Q relied on the guys (those who are still there) who helped win 3 Cups.
  2. Indeed. If he can stay healthy, and keep up this level of play I'm certain a few teams will inquire about his services...Might even be sooner than later when looking at teams like Philly, and St.Louis.
  3. Chances are Coach Q would've done the same.....
  4. Larkin is getting knocked on his butt a lot tonight.
  5. Same here...Seems like a better picture quality.
  6. Watching the warm up...That Pettersson kid looks like he weighs as much as my left buttcheek.
  7. I’ll start by saying thank you for taking the reins of the GDT! That said - I giggle every time when thinking about Flashy’s GDT ‘Inglorious Babcocks’.
  8. I’ll ask him, and get back to you in a bit...
  9. Must you question the mighty Blash?

    Do you think the current roster of Wings players is aware of who Coach Q is, and what he's accomplished? I know it's a dumb question, but my point being is that I'm certain having a guy with his experience would most likely have an affect (or is it effect) on the players - a positive one, and IMHO that's what this franchise can use. To me it would be like asking why hire Yzerman when we have Holland?

    So - how often are quality coaches available?

    Try to win. Losing/tanking can breed a bad culture within the Red Wings organization. I understand we need to be bad for a few years in order to possibly obtain hi-end talent, but then again look at teams like the Oilers, Isles, Sabres, Yotes, and a few others...They've been bad for years, and chances are (regardless of their recent play) they may very well not make the playoffs again. As I mentioned in another post - I don't expect Coach Q to make this team a playoff contender - I expect him to make this team look somewhat competent, and a legit NHL franchise.

    Most opposing fans out there envy our mediocrity that we had with Babs...And the scary thought is - when will this team get good? We might be bad for years to come - especially if Blashill is still behind the bench...

    Why not fire Blashill? Is there some unwritten rule out there that I'm not familiar with that a owner/GM cannot drop kick a guy for any little reason {cough}Gallant{cough}. I'm not trying to be an @ss here - just saying that when there's a better option - why not take it?

    Do you want to lose 7 to 1, and appear clueless, OR lose 4 to 2, but appear competitive? That'll most likely be the difference between Blashill, and Coach Q.

    Or we'll keep complaining how Blashill is clueless, and why guys like Abdelkader/Helm/etc are getting more minutes than AA/Mantha/Ras/etc, and how poorly the team is playing... I get it - we need to be bad to be good - but when the Wings look lost most nights...

    Blackhawks Fire Coach Quenneville

    Didn't the Kings 'hire' a guy already? As far as developing kids...I dunno - some nights the team looks clueless out there....The AHL Toronto Marlies would probably win the best of 7 series against the Wings right now.
  18. They probably didn't know there was a camera. I think it's amusing...What's next on the list of how f-ed up Ottawa really is?..Maybe the sound guy at the next home game has a few barley pops, and accidentally plays Deutschland über alles instead of the regular anthems?

    Blackhawks Fire Coach Quenneville

    I get what you're saying, but why not hire a guy who's good at his job? This right here

    Chances are neither Chris Ilitch, nor Holland have the balls to hire Coach Q at this point in time...I'm certain he'll be with another team within a few days.

    Outside the Box Moves to Accelerate the Rebuild

    Took me a while to come up with sumthin (I'm a bit slow eh?)... Now - if the respective players were to waive their NTC - how about we take Marleau off the Leafs hands (that way they'd free up extra $$$ for their RFA's), AND their 1st round pick in either 2019, or 2020 for someone like Nyquist, Glendenning, Abdelkader, Nielsen, etc, BUT we also take on most of their $$$ of the contract of the Red Wing/s going to Toronto. That way the Leafs unload Marleau, and possibly get a player in return along with more cap space relief...The way I see it - the more cap space relief they get - the more draft picks (or prospects) we get...This could take place anytime from now until the 2019 draft weekend...I figure we could land a 1st round pick, and possibly a combo of a few 2nd, or 3rd round picks. Another would be (if we're lucky if he stays healthy) is to move Howard, and eat his salary thus increasing our chances of getting a 1st round pick in return.
