the jist is you are and have been wrong about the coaching situation, the talent on the roster, the talent in the system, and what would happen after Q was fired but you still wont admit it with the proof in your face every night.
i dont think Q is the answer because there is no answer with this roster.
I have been wrong? explain how I have been wrong?
You want me to say I have been wrong because a new coach is here and has a worse record than Q after coming in during the season?
You want me to admit that JC is NOT sitting the majority of correct players like banishing Kunitz away for most nights whereas Q played him and on higher lines?
You want me to admit that the Hawks systematic play is NOT the correct system they should be playing right now vs what we did with Q? Meaning, they aren't moving into the right direction little by little?
You want me to say that for the most part I don't like the lines JC puts out there on a nightly basis?? You would like me to say Q and his blender made more sense?
You want me to say this roster is bad now, when in fact I don't believe it is bad, never believed it was bad even to start the season. There is a difference between bad and underpeforming, and this team needs a number of things to go right that simply haven't.
You keep trying to make this out to be something that you have to blame one individual, or you have to blame the coach or GM...you keep thinking those that wanted Q gone expected a change right away, NOBODY believed that...it takes time...you keep getting told this but ignore it only to fuel your pathetic narrative.
you have been shown by so many different posters that there is more to it than that...much more to it than that. A lot of things have gone wrong this season, Q was a big part of that failure, core players not producing consistently enough is part of that problem, terribly coached and played systems was part of it, and a team not very deep that has a poor bottom 6 and bottom 3 defenders....all part of the problem. Crow not stealing us any games like he did last year another issue..I do not believe this team is as bad as they currently are, you can look around the league and many similar rosters to them...others can disagree with me on that, which is fine as I am not saying the Hawks are a great team talent wise, but there is enough here to be a playoff bubble team regardless of the bottom 6, JC has to figure out how to get that out of them.
JC and his handling of Joker has been bad for me...that is the one thing I will call out as he must get better at giving this kid more EV time and power play time...outside of that, he needs time to figure this out and get the locker room believing again, something that Q lost a long time ago..
