Speculation: The search for a new Head Coach - (Ducks to hire Joel Quenneville: Per Dreger)

[Unholy]

Yeah I’m just interested in what is going to be said.

He is a hell of a coach no doubt about that

"I've learnt from it and grown as a person, now I want to focus on the 2025-2026 NHL season"

He's back in the game now, so doesn't even need to do PR fluff.

I'd have to take a break from watching the Ducks for a long while if Q gets hired. I haven't changed my mind from two years ago and I'd prefer he take his little redemption spiel somewhere else far away.

@Hockey Duckie you interested in taking over on the First Goal Thread?

 

[Static]

We'll see, that's easy to say.

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

Well, let’s hope for some good answers to the questions they will 100% be getting.

Thankfully, we know that Pat Verbeek is a very articulate man with an unwavering calm emotional temperament

What a disgrace we are

He must be sweating through his outfit right now.

 

[bumperkisser]

There are certainly other candidates out there... But if they did their homework and he is truly the best fit for the role, I definitely believe in redemption.

Let's see what happens.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

Can we please just get some orange smoke at the Vatican so we can end this thread once and for all and have a new coach

This is not what I had in mind….

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Congrats guys, this is huge for your team. The Panthers are not Cup champs without what Q did. Dude is a god and will unlock the young guys' full potential. I think he's the best coach in the league.

 

[ScarTroy]

Spent too much time watching these kids come up, definitely not going to leave now that they are about to turn the corner. With that said, f*** Q and I won’t be supporting with my wallet until he’s gone.

Why do you think it took so long to announce it

 

[zegrassyknoll]

Well that’s it for me then.

I would say it’s been fun but really it hasn’t been.

 

[Arthuros]

In a way, I'm not even as concerned with how he might let similar things happen to the younger players on the roster right now. I'm more concerned with prospects who aren't in the NHL yet.

 

[NWWisconsinDuck]

If I’m satisfied with what I hear as far as work done, possible Beach blessing, etc., then I’ll be all in.

Until then I’m in wait and see mode.

No thanks.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

it was either between him or Woodcroft. Excited to see what he can bring

 

[Goose of Reason]

Gross

 

[Gliff]

Honestly, I hope it isnt just PV at the conference. The questions about the hiring are more business and HR related and not hockey related.

It would be nice to hear someone like Aaron Teats or even Henry himself talk about the extensive background they did.

[JohnnyDrama]

We are so back

 

[Big Fat Rebound]

I’m more disappointed in the Samuelis than anything else (who I also want present at the opening presser). Hockey people are always gonna hockey people, but I never thought ownership would have allowed something like this to happen.

They’ve done a lot of good for the community, but this is gonna be an unforgivable stain for a lot of people

 

[Arthuros]

I think what would be satisfactory from my perspective in terms of a "background check" and due diligence starts with Kyle Beach himself making a public statement OF HIS OWN FREE WILL that Quenneville should be given a second chance.

No bones about words exchanged in private. Quenneville needs to be cleared without a shadow of a doubt, and if Beach isn't willing to do that publicly (and he very much has valid reasons not to), then I really don't see why we put ourselves in the position of extending the first olive branch.
