He also bought Jovo.Didn't Tallon fire Dineen? How would that situation NOT be awkward....
Yet, Jovo showed up to these menial "celebrations."

Well, overall we had dope specialty teams this season and didn't even make the playoffs. But I get what you're saying, good looking out.Blackhawks fan here. You will learn to loathe Q's assistants. The constant during Q's tenure was a bottom 5 PP and inconsistent PK from season to season. They'd either be great or horrible killing penalties. If you get Both Kitchen and Dineen prepare for absolutely god awful special teams.
The one thing is that sometimes superior talent can save Q's inferior system on the PP/PK. Occasionally they overcome his deficiencies. Also, Q puts defensive responsibility above all else. If you have a skilled young forward that occasionally gets lazy in his own zone he's going to get on Q's shit list PDQ.Well, overall we had dope specialty teams this season and didn't even make the playoffs.

Both already coached for us, we ALREADY hate them, but Q is worth it.Blackhawks fan here. You will learn to loathe Q's assistants.

This is very good to hear.The one thing is that sometimes superior talent can save Q's inferior system on the PP/PK. Occasionally they overcome his deficiencies.

Yeah good to know Trocheck will have to shape up his BS.This is very good to hear.
Damn 3 cups with a bottom 5 on both. Can’t wait. Must have the most dominant 5 on 5 ever.Blackhawks fan here. You will learn to loathe Q's assistants.

Hawks fan here. Pretty cool to see how excited you guys are for Q to coach the Panthers. I didn’t realize all of the beyond obvious things it meant to you guys so congrats!
That is exactly how they won 3 cups. They dominated everyone 5 on 5, there were years when they had a bottom 5 PK but During the years they won the Cup they had a top 5 PK. They were wildly inconsistent with penalty killing. One year they'd have a top 5 PK the next a bottom 10 or even bottom 5. It's probably the biggest reason they never won back to back Cups.Damn 3 cups with a bottom 5 on both. Can’t wait. Must have the most dominant 5 on 5 ever.
I did know they both coached for you. Glad you didn't get Dineen. Your special teams have some hope now lol.Both already coached for us, we ALREADY hate them, but Q is worth it.
You should know this.
Well I’ll take that over Boughner who has no idea what he was doing. I know special teams are important but Q is 30x the coach that Boughner is and I’ll take improved 5 on 5 over those where he is either hit or miss.That is exactly how they won 3 cups.

It was fun to watch the Q-Babcock chess match. Q won more often than not. He knows what he's doing for the most part, it was just that the message was getting stale hin Chicago. I want to say outside of 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2016 their PP was absolutely dreadful. Those years they had talent to overcome the system deficiencies.Well I’ll take that over Boughner who has no idea what he was doing.

I think we all knew there was a chance he would bring both dineen and kitchen. The fact that only one of them is here is outstanding. Dineen has never in any capacity ever impressed me at the nhl level.It was fun to watch the Q-Babcock chess match. Q won more often than not.
Yeah if you had both it would be bad. The fact that you only have one is a good sign. It would have been nice if he actually brought coaches that could coach rather than his buddies from the Whalers.I think we all knew there was a chance he would bring both dineen and kitchen.

It’s his one wart. He’s still one of the best ever. Like I said the upgrade from Boughner to Q is monumental. Boughner ran a 5 forward PP. The guy is a potato. Our players should be fine on the PP. the PK is the only concern.Yeah if you had both it would be bad. The fact that you only have one is a good sign.

You should hear the radio broadcasters up here in Canada.
"Joel Quenneville....3 time Cup champ....has signed on to be coach of the .......Fllllaaaarrrrrda Pannnntherrrss................, the lowly Panthers, the underacheiving Panthers, the empty arena Panthers...., which proves it all comes down to money and greed in life"
I was thinking about this today, about the contempt Canadian broadcasters had for Coach Q and the team after he took the job. I was thinking about the talk that Quenneville just came here to cash in a payday and soak up the sun, or spend time at the track.
I thought that fear was a bit justified, especially because it's South Florida. Down here, the Dolphins have had to deal with that reality quite a few times with veteran free agents and coaches who simply wanted to cash one more check on the way out the door. We remember Nick Saban using Miami as a convenient (and lucrative) transition from one college job to another. We remember Bill Parcells taking an obscene amount of money to hang around at Palm Beach golf courses and occasionally play coach/god, as it suited him. After a while, I think you become conditioned to expecting the worst. It's a shameful, loser's mentality, but I'll confess I had those thoughts worming around in my skull when this move was announced.
I can discard that fear now. Does anyone still think this man came here for a quick buck? The passion he still has for the game permeates everything about him now: his excitement on the bench, his pulse for the game and how to manage it, his handling of the players off the ice, and even the dominant confidence with which he works the media. You can notice these things.
We don't know yet if this team is going to have real success under Coach Q, but I think we can close the door on the talk that it's all about the money.
Think I posted it before but the story of when the Hawks won their first Cup, Q called Tallon and passed his phone around the room so the players could talk to or thank Tallon.
Q had my respect before but I would follow him into a fire if need be knowing he would lead us out after hearing that story. He's a standup guy and knows when to push or pull with his players.
