Player Discussion David Quinn: Part III

[pjzabo]

What do we practice?

We've looked like an ECHL team from Covid Cup to this debut. We are never prepared.

THIS

I am disgusted as this does not look like a cohesive team tonight nor do they look anywhere near prepared to play in the NHL in a shortened season with a lot of rivals. It's an extension of how we addressed the "playoffs" last year. I don't know how much is the youth (24 year old avg age), the talent or lack thereof, or THE COACHING. But I am worried about the coaching - we've seen this before. I would swap Quinn for Trotz in a heartbeat. I don't feel like we have a culture, a leader, or an identity. All the excitement about youth and high draft picks have not been molded into anything. Hey it's one game but I hate the start.

 

[Kiekura]

Just replace him. Seriously.

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

Get rid of this clown. Holy!!!!
This isn’t hockey!!!!
Look at our team on paper compared to the islanders. This is ridiculous!!!!

 

[Roo Returns]

I gave him the benefit of the doubt for two years. I said this guy isn't coaching here next season.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Juggling your lines not even halfway through game 1 of the season isn't exactly instilling confidence in your players either.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

can't wait until we get a real coach.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This guy is inept. Been saying it for awhile.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I have a feeling that if we can Quinn midseason, we're going to hire Babcock or Hitchcock. Just a hunch. Gallant would be my first choice, but he seems destined for Seattle.

well said. Laviolette was available recently, but we missed the boat like we always do.

Who else is available? I like Paul MacClean. But most likely if they fire Quinn they make Martin the interim coach.

 

[NYR]

Hey.. It only took you guys 2 years to catch on lol.
Get this turd dafuq outta here.
Laviolette was there for the taking but JG blew it.
The most amusing part in all this might be True Blue going up against the board after he reads this tomorrow lol

Mac is an assistant coach, so we can't hire him midseason.

That fat f***, Bruce Boudreau is a TV analyst, so he's available. Still, Gallant would be my first choice.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I really want to like Quinn. I really do. He seems like an awesome dude and I want him to succeed...but IDK, he hasn't inspired confidence that he can win and that he can develop our prized prospects.

I am not completely sold on Gallant, is he a real deal of a fluke?

he is just out of his league he is NHL associate coach caliber at best.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Yeah, I think that's it. He belongs in college.

 

[nyr2k2]

I don't like people from Boston.

 

[LokiDog]

Quinn’s not a good coach. I don’t know if that means he’s a bad coach. But he’s not a good one.

 

[mas0764]

Juggling lines 25 minutes into the season. Howden with more ice-time than Kakko. Same shit, different year

And he’s gonna have to start answering for the lack of development. I was all for signing Panarin but I’m not exactly given Quinn any bonus points for him going off for a 120 point pace or Zibanejad exploding for 60 goals. These guys were scoring dynamos before he got them.

He’s gonna have to start getting production from Kakko, Lafreniere, Chytil, etc, or else.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I don't like people from Boston.

Watch us hire Mike Sullivan next year

 

[NYSPORTS]

only have to work on everything

 

[Kords]

I like him, he says all the right things but he is just to green to be coaching all these prized assets. If we look like this more often than not, he can't be allowed back next season.

 

[Kiekura]

Definitely better than what we have now

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Boudreau never won a Cup but he is a pretty elite level coach with 567 NHL wins in regular season and almost 1000 games coached.

 

[nyr2k2]

Quinn’s not a good coach. I don’t know if that means he’s a bad coach. But he’s not a good one.

Yeah I've largely defended him over his tenure but it gets harder and harder.
