Again, if your assessment of Quinn is correct, isn't it incumbent upon management to fire Quinn, and if they are aware of what you seem to be aware of, and not firing him, isn't it 100% Gorton's fault that an incompetent coach is keeping his job?

I really don't see another way to look at this.

Quinn is serving a purpose, if he's not fired in the offseason, especially if other good coaches become available, then yes, it's a management issue.

The other alternative would be to get Martin's other half. A good offensive assistant to take control of the teams offense. Just have Quinn as the face and 'developer' who holds the clipboard for his 'assistants' during timeouts .

6-2 loss

Strome and Rooney with the goals.

KK, AL, and VK will be almost invisible.

And, with a total ice time of 30 minutes, will be criticized for their lack of contribution. Which is likely true oft AL. But KK and VK have looked better than fine. Essentially VK was demoted despite a solid debut! Why?!

DQ , "we will probably change it during the game but we think it gives us the best chance to win"
Umm what?

Transition defense or offense? Because Vally said our transition offense is great.

our counter attack offense is good. This team always does well when things 'break down'. Even our PP looks good when things get hectic, (was another major strong suit with ADA as well).

but transitioning from our zone/set breakouts/the full 200ft is amateur imo. It's a flat and vanilla attack

We have dynamic talent and it shows when 'things don't go as planned' or off of turnovers

I still don't really think that Panarin and Kakko work that well together. They both want to have the puck on their sticks all the time. They still have good games together, because they're Panarin and Kakko, but it doesn't feel ideal to me.

It's nice for the kid to be getting those bigger minutes and to be getting on the scoreboard more, but giving him a chance to carry the Kid Line again isn't the end of the world.

My two main issues with Quinn right now are tied to not giving Gauthier a real chance with some job security for a stretch of games, and trotting KZB out there night in, night out, whether they're invisible or not.

My issue is that if things continue to go down the same path then Kakko won't get much of a chance to carry the kid line. They'll be lucky to get 10 minutes. Now, if quinn moved him down so the kid line can play actual third line minutes then I'm not complaining because I also don't feel like Kakko is the best fit on that Panarin line at this point in his career.

Makes zero sense.

Kakko was scoring goals with Bread and Strome.

Kravtsov had a solid debut.

And Blackwell scored with Rooney.

All this does is f*** with the kids. With it mainly being Kakko since he's been yoyo'd for 1.5 seasons now.

But Quinn doesn't do this with Miller.

The good news for Kravtsov is that the kid line is the 4th line. I don't care where Quinn writes their names down. So it's a promotion for him.

The demotion for Kakko is mind-boggling.

Doesn’t do it with Miller because there’s no alternative for him
