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

[BigBadBruins7708]

I agree. Oilers need to fire upper management first before letting TM go, last thing u want is Pete scapegoating a coach and choosing the next one.

why not?

worked out pretty well the last time when he dumped Dave Lewis after 1 season and hired Claude

An amazing coach to whom the Hawks fans owe a lot. Calling him trash is disgraceful. Every team needs to change a coach at some point, it doesn't make him trash. I wish him luck in his future endeavors.

Who called him trash

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

Special teams have been a joke the last few years.

 

[NYR94]

Didn't St. Louis fire Quenneville?

Yeah like 14 years ago. Time to reunite.

No one saw this coming

Most Hawks fans saw it coming. And wanted it.

 

[Demon Eyes]

No Glen Sather treatment for ol Joel

 

[TaLoN]

Didn't St. Louis fire Quenneville?

If Hitchcock and Carlyle can go multiple stints in one place, surely Q can...

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

He won't be unemployed for long.

 

[Brunomics]

The Sweetener!

My reaction also!

Thats fair. I just think this mess is more on Petes hand than it is Todds, and Todd might not be the right guy, i just wouldnt want a gm thats probably on the hot seat making that call

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

The coaches to have won five of the last nine NHL Stanley Cup Championships are presently unemployed.

EDIT: actually, six of the last ten if you wanna toss Bylsma out there, though that feels a bit gross.

 

[Sam Spade]

Still owed 12 mil, so who ever gets him will have to pony up some cash.

 

[TMLeafer]

When was the last time a team fired a coach midseason to hire another fired coach? Montreal firing Therrien for Julien?

 

[KINGS17]

...and another coach pays the price for terrible contracts given to players who are no longer motivated, or simply are no longer physically capable of performing at their peek.

Grab a clue GMs, you don't have to hand out these contracts to players simply because they were on your roster when the team won a Stanley Cup.

Those who follow the Hawks did. It's a bold move, but it's not entirely surprising. Now, the big question is how this move pans out.

 

[Ezekial]

The dysfunction makes me feel better about my life.

 

[super6646]

U.S. Primaries will drown this out. Reeks of a calculated move.... snakey move Stan.

Didn't even remember the midterms were today until you mentioned it. Hmmm...

Anaheim firing Randy Carlyle for Joel Quennville, five seconds before you (yes, you, not TMLeafer, but you, the reader of this post, unless they are one and the same)...read this post.

Who called him trash

No hawks fans give a **** if he goes to STL. We believe in JC and Q has been trash for a while.

Here. It's not the only comment like that I've read, and it's been going on for a few years.

 

[JackSlater]

Damn you Quenneville for giving out those bad contracts to players on the downside of their careers!

 

[Summer Rose]

Well that was unexpected. Then again I don't really pay attention to the Hawks.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

But yet Blashill still has a job....unbelievable.

Must be nice to have front office have the common sense to do what needs to be done.

 

[WinterHawk88]

In this thread: "Man, no wonder the team sucks when you give out huge contracts to players based on past performance!"

Also in this thread: "Chicago is stupid for firing Q, he brought them 3 cups!"

 

[NyQuil]

If he doesn't mind being paid in Sub Club cards, I think Ottawa might be the place for him.
