Jack Hughes got his first point, against us, with him as our coach. What a quinnbecile!!! :thumbd::thumbd::thumbd:
 
Honestly, the decision that should be criticized for the extra man situation is Howden replacing Buchnevich. Both are not good players right now. If I were to replace someone in an empty net scenario due to them being gassed/bad/etc., I'd go with...*checks roster for good players*...well at that point, it's only Lias/Smith/Fast. And he went Howden to replace Buch. Smith coming on directly correlated with Kreider going off. Same thing, only this time, DQ went with a player from that trio.

I would have gone Lias/Smith to replace Buch/Kreider, because those were the best two forwards that were available to swap out if a F needed to come off.

Fox replaced Trouba on that empty net shift likely because he was in the middle of his own 3-minute shift, which started before the empty net scenario. And that's fine.

Also, if we really want to be technical, Kakko was the extra attacker that came in both times Georgiev went to the bench.

I am still confused about this coach, wasn't he brought in to roll all 4 lines? Because essentially he just plays 3 lines. We should have thrown millions at Joel Quenneville when he became available.

No, rolling 4 lines is what AV did. Quinn was brought in to coach children. And what would Quennville do? And why would he even want to come here?

Speaking of AV and rolling 4 lines Sean Couturier has played under 20 minutes 4 times in 5 games this year. He did that a total of 11 times last season.

That top line’s numbers are going to take a hit and the talk around them is going to sound a lot like all of the talks about Nash around here

Smith was easily one of our better forwards tobight tho.


I disagree with Quinn's assessment of the team..I felt like we looked pretty flat.

Kakko looked great tho

100% agree. Smith was terrific, he got rewarded. Sounds good. Kakko was good too. Very noticeable. Actually I thought Kreider was pretty good. He was fighting through bodies a bit. Anyhow it was a pretty bad game. Is Fox ok? I know he can't back but was there any word on what happened? Was he woozy or did he like, hurt his neck or something?

Wait, seriously? We are talking about Quenneville? And this is not a joke?

1) WHY would Quenneville come to a rebuilding team? And why would have come to a team prior to the coming of Panarin and Trouba?
2) Since when is Quennevill considered a developmental coach?

3) What exactly has Quinn done wrong? Quibble about a few things, but this is the youngest team in the league. Despite the acquisitions of big name players, this is still a developmental team. You are still looking at a lottery team. What coach is going to do better?

You have a defense with two rookies, a Staal on his last legs, DeAngelo who is still learning to play defense and Skjei who looks to be over matched as a top line defender. What are you expecting?

I think the issues people have are Kakko on the second line, and Chytle not playing in the NHL yet. We're still in October though and the Rangers have had a very touch and go schedule. And already, there have been flashes of brilliance on the PP and 1st line. And Rangers had a really excellent first period last night before they lost the pace of their game.

Maybe we should wait until they, oh I don't know, play more games before assessing the coaching this year? They're playing a bunch of games this week. I'm sure the production will pick up in a more regular schedule.

The defesive issues are going to continue, but that's what happens with such a young group of players.

Has anyone progressed with David Quinn at the helm? We have one of the worst compete levels in hockey so far. It’s just four games, so I’m going to relax. Time to promote Lias.

Wait. Can you please stop being sensible so that we can continue to let mass hysteria run wild?
 
So last year Quinn got a crappy team to play hard every night and overachieve but after 4 games this season he needs to go?

let's just talk about last year. ZBad showed pretty good progress, no? DeAngelo played the best hockey of his career. Kevin Hayes was playing at the level of an elite 2nd line center. Buchnevich finally took steps forward and had his best season. Strome had his best season in years. Nametsnikov played very well. That is just off the top of my head.

But yes, it is only 4 games in. So perhaps a little relaxation is the way to go?

I'm not an advocate of Quinn getting fired but we've seen this team for nearly fifteen years 'overachieve' and it's always credited to the coach and not the spectacular goaltending which has been the actual constant.

Last year Henrik won us just about every point we managed to get in 2018. Then, Georgiev had his stellar second half and won us the remainder.

Team had the fewest ROW in the league last year.

Yeah but the team was also bereft of talent outside of maybe 5 forwards and two defenseman. And while I agree that they've gotten insane goaltending over their last run, it wasn't solely about goaltending, especially during AVs tenure.

No that's the point. That's how they 'overachieve.' It's not 'solely' about anything, but it has been much more about goaltending than anything else. Not even just Lundqvist (whose consistency over his career is nothing short of miraculous and unprecedented among his peers) but Biron (before his meltdown), Talbot, Raanta. Now Georgiev.
