Not allowed to criticize Quinn based on 1 game but we should praise him after 1.
Hey I did both. It's all about winning baby. If you don't want to feel bad, just get out there and win.

Why not?
I've been criticizing him since he got here.
Some people know hockey.. Others just play video games.
Too each his own.
People think I'm a troll bc I speak the truth but as per usual.. I'm usually always right in the end so you do you and don't worry about what others think![]()

I agree to an extent, but it just seems like one day he’s a great coach, and the next day he’s out-coached. I hope that changes and that he works out. I really do.No, that's not it.
It's if you're going to criticize him for game 1 because of the lack of preparation/results, and then you're also not giving him credit for the response/results for game 2, then I think you're not being objective.
If the lack of preparation on Thursday is all on Quinn, then he should also get a ton of credit for the response/changes he made today.
Rope-a-dope, learned it from the GreatestThis is what a professional coach does. Makes the opponent think they can coast to victory in game #2 after allowing them to dominate in game #1 and then out of nowhere surprises them with an actual hockey team in the second meeting
Devils Advocate...
Trotz is a HOF-level coach. His team looked like ass today. Was that his fault? Was it his fault Barzal is still taking dumb penatlies because the message didn't get through last year?
Or maybe players regress to what is comfortable for them?
Quinn has said time and time again, and his biggest criticism of the bubble that when the team plays bad its because they aren't physically engaged or willing participants to get their hands dirty.
Why do teams like the Islanders have less nights off? Their players are predominately muckers with a few skill guys that ARE willing to get their hands dirty. This team needs more jam to balance out the finesse.
Or maybe a 3rd year NHL head coach also has some growing and learning to do before he gets to be a 15 year head coachI agree to an extent, but it just seems like one day he’s a great coach, and the next day he’s out-coached. I hope that changes and that he works out. I really do.
Just did reference, people should remember how long it took Trotz to win his first playoff series.Trotz is a HOF-level coach. His team looked like ass today. Was that his fault? Was it his fault Barzal is still taking dumb penatlies because the message didn't get through last year?

coaches are assigned too much credit and too much blame. Quinn didn’t have the team “ready to go” opening night. Trotz didn’t have the islanders ready last night. Give me a break. They’re not a bunch of ten year olds. They’re professional athletes who can be prepared to play a game on their own without the coach giving them some big motivational speech and telling them to play hard
Idk maybe i know nothing about hockey but Gauthier has looked good every time i've watched him.What is his beef with Gauthier and ADA?
I don't blame him for the loss, Blackwood played well and Georgie let in some bad ones.
But he's supposed to be a developmental coach and he's failing, HARD. Kakko and Laf would be tearing it up on any other team right now.
Yeah, you can point to some questionable picks like Lias and maybe even Kravtsov but when you have 2 no brainer blue chip talents and they still can't get them going? Its on the organization/coaches.At some point, the problem isn't drafting or the individual players failing. At some point, the common denominator needs to be held accountable. Not saying we are there yet but Quinn isn't doing himself any favours with the way he is handling things
He deserves blame for not challenging the 3rd goal but this is also how I feel. IDC about winning or losing today my biggest concern is him f***ing up this entire rebuild by ruining all our top prospects. How long until we start talking about Laf the way some on here already discuss KakkoI don't blame him for the loss, Blackwood played well and Georgie let in some bad ones.
