Jeremy Colliton thread

I told you Dach would likely get banished again when Strome returned. It ain't right.

This is beyond frustrating. Why is he here? Why did they waste the ELC year?

bingo.....

for me, it was a ego thing from a gm who is panicking.

Ya, don’t like it. Let’s see how ice time actually plays out though, line rushes in practice aren’t necessarily indicative of in-game ice time. Don’t like his linemates though.

Yeah, another one. Nylander has done nothing for way too long now. Unfortunately, we have no one to replace him in the lineup.

Kubalik but ...
for whatever reason JC just won't give it a go.
Cheering Nylander is REALLY maddening - makes a standout play then disappears again.

Jokiharju gone but not forgotten - least by me. Ain't like Hawks could use a Dman right now ESPECIALLY a RHD who can move the puck but hey he didn't fit into JC's / Bowman jr's master plan. Oh well ...

He might not have one, time will tell.

 

[BrianE]

they won't..... SB does not want to look like a failure.

Might be too late for that now.

I want to see this (with the current personal insert Cagguila were Wedin is if he is ready;

Saad-Toews-Kane
Debrincat-Strome-Wedin
Nylander-Dach-Kubalik
Shaw-Kampf-Carpenter

I like these lines, nothing to lose.

The organization brought Colliton in. He's their guy. The players complained about the way he wanted them to play, and the organization sided with the f***ing players. Why does anyone here think bringing in a new coach will be any different? The players obviously run this team. Any coach they bring in is going to be a lame duck coach.

Honestly at this point? You ride this out until close to the trade deadline. If this team still absolutely sucks, playing the way THE PLAYERS want to play(and I see no reason they wouldn't), you ask every single one of them to waive their NMC and be done with it. If Bowman is even allowed to do that. He probably isn't.

I have a very good feeling that McDonough and the players are running the show here, more than Bowman and the coaching staff. In which case, get used to this boys and girls. Because it isn't going to change without this team being abysmal all season.

Q wouldnt make this team any better with toews and cat playing the way they are and keith, shaw, strome out of the lineup. He also wouldnt help if everything was perfect either.

What about that post said this team misses Q? Q wasnt THE problem but he was a problem when he was let go. Move on. I really don’t get why some posters need to bring up Q every chance they get.

He struggles with reading.

Just tank this year out, fire everyone in April and hopefully the next brain trust can get creative to get the Hawks out of this chasm.

Just because Colliton looks like he isn't the answer doesn't mean firing Q was the wrong move.

You're talking about entirely different things.... Strength and conditioning is one thing. Muscle memory is another. Hitting your spots when shooting is 90% muscle memory.

You do bring up a good point, though. If you're gassed, it will also affect your muscle memory. So guys not being properly conditioned can absolutely affect their skills. Passing, shooting, stickhandling, etc.

I've been saying for a while now I don't think this is a well conditioned team, so that may have something to do with their shooting, as well.

Going off of this assumption being correct, Then is JC making conditioning practices mandatory and doing them more often? If not then that aspect is on him. He *is* the coach after all.

I think it plays a part, absolutely. Saad has been playing very well, but he isn't a guy who is going to create to help Toews.

I have to laugh at this...not at you, specifically, but I seem to recall one of the major reasons we re-acquired Saad was to sparkplug Toews. It certainly didn't work.

That's because Saad was always overrated around here, and by the organization.

even Q would not fix this mess. not as long as the GM keeps f***ing up.

btw, i never knew was a disciplinarian when he coach.......

 

[LDF]

me and some old coaches would be doing about now is laps...... and laps stick-handling until their legs fall off.
