Quinn low-key saying he doesn't think Kakko is good defensively or on the forecheck.
Seems legit.
I think Quinn knows he is gone after this season, his number 1 priority is to get his career on track so that some team would at least hire his as assistant coach or as AHL coach.

So basically, we feel we need to always have a career bottom six player (no offense to Fast) next to Artemi Panarin for his line to be successful?
I was joking.
People were just up in arms when they thought that he could not get into a game on the 4th line. Now they are up in arms about him possibly playing on the 4th line.
Really? What better 4th liners do you see? What specific aspects of his are not NHL capablity?

He's no Jesper Fast.
Yet.
Wow. The stupidity of your statements truly knows no bounds.

Quinn literally said early in the season that he was a big proponent of putting all his best guys together, and should have done it with Panarin and Zibanejad.. Talking out of both sides of his mouth here.

Taking Kakko off that line is painfully stupid. Just incredibly ridiculous
DanielBrassard
It's all so tiresome
The biggest problem I have with the lines is not breaking up KZB. I'd like to see Kreider and Lafreniere switch.

Maybe every issue that I have with Quinn could be solved by breaking up KZB. Kreider and Zibanejad have both struggled with invisibility this year quite a bit.
Just demonstrate some of that "accountability".

I am glad you asked. His defensive play is weak. Loses puck battles all night; fails to clear when he has the puck on his stick regularly. He passes the puck poorly in tight situations. In short he has little poise in his own zone. He is fine as a penalty killer because he can just ice the puck and he is fine in the O zone because when he loses the puck it is not a scoring chance against. On the Rangers, Rooney, PDG and even (forgive me) Howden are better suited for 4th line duties. Blackwell, if he is going to be on the team, needs to be in an offensive situation. Apparently, Quinn agrees which brings me no pleasure. I would prefer he exit stage left, move KK and VK into the top 9 along with Gauthier. if we get an injury in the top nine or someone is moved, then have Blackwell dress.

Feeling it
Quinn is physically incapable of keeping a lineup the same after a loss of any kind, so no surprise there are changes.
But I am very unhappy he is taking Kakko off the Panarin line. Was seeing good chemistry there and I don't understand the logic. Wil lyou let the kid build some chemistry with some good vets? You are asking the fans for patience. You need to exhibit some as well.
I dont think it will matter to Kakko which line he is on, but now its extremely likely he wont be getting the same minutes he has gotten lately and thats a f***ing crime to me.
He is essentially punishing Kakko, for playing well? Blackwell hasn't done enough (especially defensively) to warrant more minutes. I dont get it.

Few things irk me more about coaching than win = same lineup and loss = make changes without any context.
He has been just fine as a penalty killer and not sure what battles you seem him loosing, considering he emerges from corners with the puck. He is fine on the PK and not because he simply flings the puck down the ice. Rooney is certainly a better PKer, but so what? He was a buzzsaw against Buffalo. Is the the be all and end all? No. But you can do far, far worse for a 4th liner who can be moved up and down the line up when needed.
I do not think it is punishment. I think it is being done to actually get more time to the third line and hopefully get someone like Lafreniere going. Do I want him to be moved down? Of course not. But let's see how much time he actually spends there the next game and how much ice time he gets in general.
I mean it was obvious that letting Fast walk was a disaster. For a lower contract than anyone would have predicted. Made no sense. Gorton gets to hide behind the scenes while Quinn serves as the whipping boy. It's really disgusting. This thread should honestly be locked because the discourse has gotten so toxic and quite frankly, unfair. Quinn's messaging today was very solid but some are blind haters.

His messaging was decidedly not solid, because he changes his story every single game.
There has been no logical consistency to his justifications for lines or ice time, he just says whatever makes sense at the time irrespective of whether it completely contradicts what he said two days ago.
Throw in the absolutely insane amount of bench minors this season, and forgetting players are on the bench, and it just isn’t indicative of someone competent enough to coach at the highest level of hockey in the world.

This is a clown show. Quinn and the boys are mixing up the lines like it’s a f***ing hut team.
Only the KZB-line is still together, even though they haven’t done shit ever since Quinn got back.
If I were Kaapo I’d be mad as hell to be replaced with a 27-yo midget who has played less games than Kakko in his whole career.
