If this was any other team, Q would have been fired after last night's game, right? I know 3 Cups, blah blah blah, but NHL teams churn through coaches. Hell, the Pens have won as many Cups as the Hawks have since Q got here, and have had 4 coaches during the same time.
I'm not saying that Q getting canned would magically turn around this team, but the lack of nothing happen certainly isn't a good look for management.

You are correct but I would rather they do nothing with Q until the year is done to keep the downward dive towards a better lottery pick happening.
Stan, on the other hand, can get canned any old time now. I really do fear the deadline "deals" he may try to make, let alone the draft and UFA period.

Hawks currently 9th and moving up/down with a bullet. |

My guess is Stan is on a longer leash than Q, but maybe Q makes a power move and dumps Stan. But I doubt Q is interested in that, unless he's looking to move upstairs and stop coaching.

Back to back after getting shelled by Phoenix? If this team doesn't at least compete, there are bigger problems than just the lack of talent on the roster. It should be painfully obvious to anyone who has watched a game since the New Year...that there are bigger problems than just the lack of talent. |

Don't see much gained by firing Q now...finish the season out. Stun, on the other hand, can go today or (even better) yesterday. Just get him and daddy the fuck out of town. |

And Rocky will not pay Q NOT to coach. |

Showcase night for Wingels, Bouma, etc.
Why isn't Franson up here again?
Stan and Q are piloting the Tank Express.

Hell, the Pens have won as many Cups as the Hawks have since Q got here, and have had 4 coaches during the same time. I'm not saying that Q getting canned would magically turn around this team, but the lack of nothing happen certainly isn't a good look for management. I think this touches on something I've longed believed: Coaches don't really amount to shit in this league. And now that I'm a couple beers in, maybe I'm not thinking clearly. But here's the thing: Anyone else that gets hired would just end up doing some other random bullshit that common knowledge will disagree with. Q's tenure as a coach is so overrated. He won Cups with a totally stacked teams. Hall of fame players playing in the primes of their careers. But even a coach like Babcock is up to shenanignas in Toronto. So who else do the Hawks bring in that would improve upon Q? I really don't know the answer here. There's probably a lot of coaches that would be able to be an equivalent trade-off, but every coach is going to end up being fascinated by the 4th line grinder who can occassionally fill in the top 6 (but then that coach will insist they're bonafide top 6 over the clearly more talented players that suddenly go to the bottom 6) Every team in the league ends up dealing with that bullshit. And this MIGHT be coming off as a pro-Q rant. But really it's just the opposite. Fire that dipshit. He's meaningless to the team and as previusly established, coaches contributions are largely overrated. He is inconsequential to every thing that has happened the past 10 years. This team is clearly no longer interested in playing, so bring in a new guy to wake the rest of them up. But really, has there ever been a key moment where Q put in some brilliant line match-ups to give this team the edge? Like, when you have Toews, Kane, and Hossa, there are literally no moves you can do that would be wrong. (And Q still found the worng moves when he made helathy scratches to his best line in favor of 'fresh legs') Q might go down as the most overrated coach of all-time in Chicago. Which is saying something, considering how overrated Ditka, Phil Jackson, and Maddon already are. Fuck Q. Can him. The team will be no different. |
