NYR2711 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I think JD has more influence into why players get sent down than Quinn, actually. My big complaint about Quinn so far is how disorganized the team looks without the puck. As far as Kravtsov in the A... Well there's a reason Chytil is a top liner and Krav isn't. I'll never understand or agree with fans thinking ice time is distributed by talent and not hard work. I agree 100%. A guy can have all the talent in the world, but if he isn't playing a team game and playing all zones, what good is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only quibble is in the limited time they've been allotted both Kakko and Andersson, who both have shown flashes of good stuff. Playing them so little makes no sense. And the workload he's putting on Panarin and Zib is not good for another 70+ games. if you're in a life and death 7 game series, that's one thing. Games in October should be when you throw the kids into the deep end of the pool and find out what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless when he benches Lemieux last night maybe he's over his shoulder saying hey look at Kreider, that's not the way to play.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking specifically about Kravtsov, but yea agree with you on Quinn and the vets. I'm not ready to give up on him, but I'm not convinced he's the right guy, either. I mean, if Quinn's the kind of guy who's going to say "You'll play, if you play the way I want you to play, even if you make mistakes or suck..." Then I kinda get it. That's like...ultimate accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravesy Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 He's such a rent-a-quote lol I wonder if he's like a coach speak slot machine.

He's extremely generic and the thought was he would be perfect, coming from college coaching, to take a young, developing team and turn them into a bunch of hard workers.

RJWantsTheCup Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Quinn doesn't seem like the right coach to get the kids where they need to be. Young players can't be afraid that everyone mistake is going to banish them to the end of the bench for the rest of the game or to the 4th line. Instead of giving players confidence he's making them play scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Maybe, I don't really remember the youngster thing, not like they had any good ones at the time, anyways. Renney built from his own end out and let his one line do what they wanted. They over achieved. I dunno what Quinn does, I don't know what the master plan is and whatever he's trying to implement isn't obvious to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's funny, but what about that is wrong, or doesn't get said by 95% of NHL coaches. Do you think he's going to do a deep dive on systems in a post game presser? they can those answers so the media will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good players know what they're going to try to do with the puck before they have it. I disagree. Anderssen has been playing fine. better than Howden for sure. that's why people are having a fit with howden playing up and down the line up while Andersen, who many think played better is banished with scrubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
