Jeremy Colliton thread

[Marotte Marauder]

Yup, all Q's fault.

Who set the culture for the core?

 

[Giovi]

Blaming Q for anything that is happening more than a year later is beyond ridiculous.

I was being sarcastic.

Sorry, meant to reply to the post you replied to.

Not going to bother arguing with you about this. It will go no where.

 

[BK]

Who set the culture for the core?

The same guy that developed the culture when they won all those cups. It goes both ways but the culture of the team now is not something I would blame on Q.

Have to disagree here. It all starts at the top... All the red carpet bullshit. All the bullshit media surrounding the "core 4". The constant media machine hyping these guys up. Putting the individual players above the team. That isn't on the coach.

That part is all true I'll agree.
But the coach still controls the room, the ice time etc. If he doesn't or isn't "allowed" to he should move on. Q or Colliton.

The championship pedigree of the core 4 should be the first guys to look at for anyone on the team. It’s truly unbelievable if any of these guys are the issue in the room and to be honest down right sad. We have kids making the team now that looked at you guys as idols. Now go show them what made you so great.

And Q controlled that room well winning 3 cups and falling in two WCF as well in that span

Players loved him for most part , fans loved him for most part , media loved him for most part and he will go down as the greatest coach in franchise history and is easily the 2nd greatest coach in Chicago sports history

 

[Hawkaholic]

Imagine thinking Q didnt control the room.

I think you and I have different views on "control". We'll leave it at that.

When the Hawks weren't playing, or needing to practice,he let them do things some coaches may not. But if they had practice or a game, Q had their full attention and meant business. Most ex players talk about that all the time.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Complacency seems to have impacted the core 4 a bit...mainly Toews and Seabrook...Kane has always showed up and its hard to argue against Keith as well...

I can't even begin to count how many homes games started with the Hawks not ready play. I've posted that probably 50 times on this very board.

That is not having the team's attention.

 

[Styles]

Imagine Jonathan Toews one of the most highly touted captains in league history not being able to play for a coach. True colors when you’re not winning.

He's not a motivator, and NHL players shouldn't need motivating. He has his game plan, and wants people to work hard and play responsibly. If you don't do that, you are in trouble. Lots of teams don't "start on time", quite often.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Usually only applicable in the 3rd period right?

3 time cup winners shouldn’t need a kick in the ass toBe motivated by a coach. They should just take over the room and f***ing help.

No?

 

[Marotte Marauder]

No?

You don't remember the handful of games where the team played 60 minutes? Where do you think "turning on the switch" originated?

 

[Hawkaholic]

I don't know, im not in the room and have zero knowledge of how JC does things, where as we do with Q. Q was perfect for the team we had, clearly JC isn't for this team.

From players not wasting energy in the 82 games and saving it for when it really matters. Pacing themselves.

Wow.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Oh, gee, look... another argument about Q.

 

[ChiHawk21]

oh look people complaining about toews again
