Does not thank Cap for his duties. Guess he is the coach. Haha

Most here will be dancing in the streets.
Better be Q or Sutter coming here!

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Oh thank god

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Yes!!!!

Wow this is actually huge news and I'm surprisingly impressed by upper management and Tallon.

I know firing Boughner wasn't easy after him not being around for long, basically admitting a big mistake, but I don't think he was getting through to the players with whatever system he was putting out there defensively and last night's game was a glaring example of that with multiple breakdowns leading to goals.

Very interested to see what this team's direction is in the coming months. Whoever the new head coach is should give us a good idea of where they think this team is at. I'd be amazed if they didn't throw a ton of money at Coach Q. I think the "experimental" coaching phase is over.

Replace with stanley cup pedigree. So, who are the options? Quenneville and Sutter?

Hopefully not Bylsma, either of Q or Sutter will do.

That statement is pretty telling, has to be Q

 

[RainingRats]

Why does Tallon get to stay? How come he doesn’t bear any responsibility?


Also, McFarland gets us to elite PP and top ten PK and he gets booted? Odd but I guess understandable

Is Cap staying?

 

[RainingRats]

There are at least 7 openings now. I’d say Stl and Philly are better jobs than Florida.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Cap’s contract was probably only two years

 

[RealHumanBean]

Holy shit that actually happened. Please don't tell me Capuano gets his job though...

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

MacFarland has a bright future coaching. Honestly would’ve liked to move him to the AHL to replace Kinnear.

 

[Haj]

I don't think they fire Boughner unless they are going to beat out the other teams for Q.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Quenneville or bust

 

[PanthersHockey1]

They always do a pregame video interview with him and boog couldn’t even look Goldie in the eye yesterday.

The writing has been on the wall for quite a while I bet

To say a thing like that, Tallon must has his man already and it's a done deal.

 

[Mosby]

Gotta think you guys are going for Coach Q given the Chicago connection with Tallon.

Thoughts on McFarland? He had the 2nd best PP. Would love him in AZ where our PP sucked. Plus we've had some success with scooping up fired Florida coaches (Scott Allen had the No. 1 PK this year).

4. Word on Joel Quenneville is he wants to go somewhere where you can see a path to victory.

5. Alain Vigneault’s name is popping up, too. If Florida makes a change, that could be a fit.

Those are two tiny speculations from Friedman's 31 thoughts 5 days ago.

STL is in the playoffs after a huge turnaround so I’m not sure it’s still open beyond “officially.”

Agree above that they got this done Sunday to work quickly on a replacement

According to dreger and Mack it’s an opening. But generally agree with what you’re saying
