What has Colliton done to prove his worth as an NHL bench boss?
Hard PASS

Isn't there like a former Hawk with no prior coaching experience waiting to try this head coaching thingamajing? Eric Daze or Brent Sopel following in the footsteps of Dirk Graham and Denis Savard.

Dirk was the epitome of hard work and over-achieving his whole career. It didn't surprise me he struggled relating to players who didn't work their ass off like he did. It's like superstars trying to be coach. They can't relate either.

It's like superstars trying to be coach. They can't relate either. Yeah this, easy to see in hindsight but like gary I also thought he would be a damn good coach. With zero experience he was doomed to fail fro the start though. Too bad.

Looking at the standings in the West, sad to say, the Hawks, seem to have found their spot, sitting 12th of 15 after ~ 1/2 of the season. Ignoring the internal dynamics of other teams, it's hard to see how the Hawks can jump four (4) team to get into the playoffs given their composition of players, style of play and inconsistent performance to date. They are not 'Yotes' bad, but they certainly aren't 'Elite' or a playoff caliber team.

Given how much hate exists for the Hawks from the general fanbase, I'm surprised the Yes number was that high.
Must have a lot of loyal arm-dancers pumping in extra Yes votes.
Edited for clarity.

Edited for clarity. I don't hate the Hawks, I'm disappointed that the current regime has let them go 'Slipping into Darkness'.

Oh, I meant how much hate there is from the general NHL fanbase. I think some people see the Hawks as the Patriots of the NHL.

Patriots are still relevant and competing for championships...hawks have been garbage for 3 years now.
Pens would be closest thing to Pats

Pats fans also have a hard time seeing themselves as the Patriots of the NFL.
