Has there ever been a coach so deluded or less accountable than Quinn. Here are some of his gems tonight:
“Our record. Deadline. All of a sudden, you're in a situation like we are, and this is the ultimate team sport, and all of a sudden you don't play the ultimate team game.”
Yes David, it’s all of a sudden they’re not playing “the ultimate team game”. This isn’t even close to the worst loss in the season.
“we just gave them the puck over and over and over. You don't need to talk about anything else. If you just keep making plays and you don't care about the consequences, you're gonna get a 7-2 loss.”
"We did it over and over and over. Our puck play is just....bad."
Imagine complaining about the players doing the same thing over and over as if Quinn hasn’t persisted with maintaining the same flawed systems all season when they clearly weren’t working.
If I’m Celebrini, I’m hoping to go anywhere but the Sharks if they persist with Quinn.
Look, I get the frustration with the team but I have a hard time blaming Quinn. Have you seen this roster? The best system in the world would’ve maybe meant us losing 5-2. I mean, we’re missing our top 2 centers. Granlund is our 1C, a rookie who hasn’t played center in years is our 2C, and our defense is like a #4 and a bunch of #5-6 guys.
On the other hand, the Devils are having a bad year but they’re better than us everywhere.
They were always going to be a bad team but injuries have decimated them entirely. I can’t blame Quinn for any of it, really.
