DQ's weird lineups and changes seem a little lost and grasping for straws though. I get they're trying to get the players (esp the young ones) to buy into the system, and play the "right way", but maybe let the players just be sometimes. Stop benching players for one mistake and playing their game.

That is the way you get young players to play the way that the coaching staff demands.
Ex players like Lemieux who can play with an edge, we need that.

What does Brendan's father have to do with anything? And what has shown you that Quinn does not like players who play with an edge?
His comments on Kakko not being able to play the same in the nhl as in Finland... let's try not to completely stifle and change our #2 pick.

His comments on Kakko were spot on. There is a world of difference between playing in Finland and playing in the NHL. Kakko is absolutely going to have to refine his game. No one is trying to stifle him.
The fans could chill a bit too, Buchnevich takes one penalty during a shift he is very actively fighting for the puck, and takes a penalty and is in everyone's doghouse now. DeAngelo may never become a very good 2-way d-man, but I believe the focus should be to excel what you are already good at. Him being a more offensively minded d. We don't want something like what happened to Skjei to happen to TDA.

It was not Buch's penalties but rather the return to floating and lazy play. And DeAngelo cannot take the ice thinking that he is the 4th forward. He needs to learn to play better defense if he wants to be a better player. Sklei's regression had nothing to do with the coaching staff.

OK..Let me try and wrap my head around this BS.
Just because Kakko is from Finland and doesn't speak English as good as Hughes, changes his routine and thus making him ineligible for certain ice time?

Keep in mind that I don't mind seeing Kakko on the 2nd line if that's what his play calls for but DQ just needs to stfu already.
He's got diarrhea of the mouth all while falling way short of being a head coach in this league :rolleyes:

No, he’s saying Kakko has bigger lifestyle adjustments to make than Hughes

Quinn can`t skate for others players - he has a system and it works against Buffalo at least. My brief point is this whole player development schedule is delayed and need additional years both defense & many of our forwards. And it`s unfortunate that Chytil is not even playing NHL hockey!

We need top #4 centers and strome is not the solution for that kind of responsibility - he is ideally a 3rd line support player for a top NHL team. Besides Rangers org. need to value dynamic skating abilities - there are some development coaches that must retire already next season.

He said challenges.
What does that have to do with on ice play?
Seems like he just likes talking shit about his own players and his words translate through to how he delegates ice time.

No but I know how to separate the two .

Anywho.. You can chalk it up to anything to like.
DQ is taking a dig at Kakko in order to justify his dopey line decisions and benchings.

It's just a stupid thing to say especially considering the amount of Europeans in the league, like it's something new.

It's a put down IMO..

And Kakko is an 18 year old. I feel like you’re looking for reasons to be upset here

Say what you want about Quinn, but while Kakko has shown flashes of brilliance, he hasn't shown any chemistry with anybody he's played with so far, and he's had time with all top 6 teammates.

Not the case and I'm not upset but I do feel DQ is just talking shit in order to defend how he goes about coaching this team.

I don't like the fact that he's going to be here for a while.
He's "20 feet" behind every other coach in this league :DD

A) that is not AT ALL what he said

B) Do you deny the fact that Kakko has more hurdles to overcome than Hughes?

C) Have you ever lived abroad at 18?

Oh of course..I'm an idiot lol

You're really killing me with context here, fan boy.
Are you dating him or something? Because I've never really seen someone spend this amount of time defending someone that nearly the entire fan base doesn't like.

Do you really think Kakko is having such a hard time living the millionaire lifestyle abroad?
Do you think they just let him wander around Manhattan to fend for himself?
Give me a break.

Other than Howden, has DQ ever had anything nice to say about any of the kids?

Has he ever even once taken ownership or shouldered the blame for any of this train wreck??

True leader right there lol.

TC started on 9/12 and he still can't get professional athletes to adhere to any kind of defensive effort outside of 3 periods.

Before I ignore this thread completely, I'll ask you this..

Can you name some of the good things that he's done without plugging in some kind of generic bullshit like the team is young?
I think we all know that at this point.

Development, system, strategy, in game coaching, delegating ice time, DEFENSE??

If you don't find fault with any of the above then you're just trolling but I'll come back to read your answer anyway.

What is it you're seeing in this cocky prick that apparently no one else sees?
