What do you think should happen with Derek Lalonde?

[odin1981]

Well playoffs or not lalonde is not doing a good job.

Playing Kane with copp and compher. What a waste.

Continues to play chirot and petry way too much. Almost as much as our top pair which is stupid and costs us zone time and points.

Refuses to try new things. Edvinsson on pp 2 over gustufson who has done nothing. Not chiroot and petry on the pk to suck.

Never calls timeouts. No clear structure. Never has the team able to play for 60 minutes. Too many issues that are reoccurring consistently. Coaching change is needed.

I don't see him gone until the end of the season. I'm not against a change being made, but there really isn't anyone available. If he keeps them in the bottom 10, hey maybe we actually win a top 3 lotto pick this year? There isn't much of a reason to sack him during the year and cause chaos to the team.

Having a new coach with new systems on the fly during the season isn't the best for the future core.

We aren't winning a lottery or moving up. 100% isn't going to happen.

Does the team look better than a top 10 pick?

Coach Q is available and would be excellent for developing our young players. Remember chicago was young when he took that team over!

Someone who protects a SA'r doesn't need to be in the league any longer.

Get over it. Bowman is back as gm. Coach Q will be back and he's a fantastic coach.

 

[odin1981]

Nope I have morality. He should have reported if the organization ignored it and he didn't.

There’s no obligation on behalf of the Blackhawks to have reported anything since Beach was an adult and if he wanted he could’ve gone to the authorities himself and chose not to at that time.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Nope.

I won’t “get over” someone helping cover up one of his players getting sexually assaulted by one of his coaches. Especially when that person went on to assault teenagers.

And Q suddenly became a fantastic coach when he had a stacked Blackhawks roster. He’s a POS human. There are other coaches.

 

[KasperTheGrittyGhost]

This team is just never ready to play for a game they really need. Lalonde has no feel for the momentum of a game, doesn’t match lines well, and hasn’t seemed to develop any of the young guys. He’s Dave Lewis 2.0.

You’ve convinced me on Quenneville. I think they should give Babcock his old job back in Detroit.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

He should be replaced asap just off the fact alone that the fans should be acknowledged and our frustrations heard. Truth is though, the roster sucks, yzerman added some truly sucky players. Even without lalonde we are gonna suck, but we should still be better than this.
