Hawks Fire Quenneville, Dineen, and Samuelsson. Jeremy Colliton Named New HC

[1specter]

I wish Detroit had the balls to do this but no we're stuck with Trashill

If Detroit was smart they'd jump on Q.

 

[Il Stugotz]

I can’t wait until sad-eyed Stan gets tossed out too

 

[JT Kreider]

Devils need Q

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Colliton is only 33, youngest coach in the league

 

[TLEH]

He runs an old time system and it’s getting exposed. He did a ton and is a hall of famer. Roster management was poor but his in game adjustments were always top notch. Sometimes the message just gets old. He’ll get hired again easily

 

[KingBran]

Dear lord baby jesus, please come back to STL!

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

If St. Louis gets a half decent coach all my fears may be realized.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

So, was it just time for a change? With the Hawks roster I wouldn’t expect much.

 

[ranold26]

He's a better coach than Babcock imo.
Wow..

 

[sigma six]

Pick up the phone, Hex.

 

[Ivan13]

Sens or Oilers should be making this move

Yeah, Melnyk will definitely pay Boucher to go away and then shell out $ to bring in Q.

 

[saska sault]

Stevie Y.. why cant you be in Detroit now. And Coach Q hired for the Wings... but we have Holland and Trashill.

Coach Q would be a nice mentor to our youth movement and maybe shake up our stale veteran group.

 

[Schenn]

Out of left field with that one. Wow.

 

[JT Kreider]

If St. Louis gets a half decent coach all my fears may be realized.

They still need a goalie

 

[Ivan13]

He's getting exposed? Your roster is horrible apart from a handful of guys.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

If Detroit was smart they'd jump on Q.

Oh they definitely would but they won't..Illitch is one of the most complacent people ever and DRW don't seem a priority for him

Q as coach and Stevie possibly next year as GM is too good to be true

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

Did not see this coming. Would love to have him as a coach

 

[57special]

Damn.. Colliton is my age.

Damn, Quenneville is mine.

 

[The Macho King]

 

[Liminality]

How long do coaches usually coach for? He should be picked up but will the team have him for maybe another 5 years?

 

[TLEH]

He's getting exposed? Your roster is horrible apart from a handful of guys.

It’s really not that horrible. It’s not good but It’s horrible when you play Brandon manning every night and Q was the one who wanted a Brandon manning type to begin with. Idk what to tell you, hawks are 3 on 5 in the neutral zone every breakout because he forces the d to stay back and he doesn’t like them to lead the rush ever. It’s predictable and isn’t what today’s NHL is

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

He will get a job offer so fast itll be ridiculous.

I bet he takes the rest of the season off though and makes a decision in offseason

 

[King In The North]

Lol Bowman makes trash moves then blames it on the coach?

Get real.

 

[57special]

Mebbe he rests for a while, then becomes Seattle's new coach?

A coach who has taken a team to multiple Cup wins is not to be sneezed at. Yeah, it's mostly about the players, but not completely. Some coaches fold under the pressure, and make weird, irrational, decisions.

I wonder if he just got tired, and didn't mind the firing all that much.

 

[Esq]

Thanks for everything Q. But it was time for a change.
