Pete Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Because there have only been two coaching vacancies since he was relieved in January of last year. Could be that he didn't want to coach for either the Devils or Wild.I will repeat, there are some horrible coaches who could have been fired and replaced with Gallant, and that hasn't happened this season.

He getting paid by Vegas.. perhaps he’s just being picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew a Penalty Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I will repeat, there are some horrible coaches who could have been fired and replaced with Gallant, and that hasn't happened this season. Yeah, I don’t see how that works against Gallant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Understood, but it doesn't explain why there are some terrible coaches still around, and he didn't coach this year at all. I dunno. AV sat for a year. Torts sat for a year. Boudreau is working on TSN. It’s not uncommon to take some time between jobs. I think he was up for the devils job and the devils picked Lindy fucking Ruff over both Laviolette and Gallant. Some teams can’t afford good coaches. Other teams have bad GMs. There’s many reasons not to get a job but it’s not uncommon to not get hired right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 While it does make me pause for a moment, this was also a very, very weird (and short) season so I would count that as a variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Spooner saying what most of us knew I’ll say this, I think moving on from Quinn was the right move. However, I’m sure you can say similar weird things about all coaches, even successful ones. Considering the source too…..

BrooksBurner Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 People know I was no Quinn fan, but the Rangers traded Spooner and he was shuffled between two other teams that year. He was out of the league entirely after that. He's not exactly a bastion of how to hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think it's fairly obvious, if you put all the pieces together, that Quinn focused on the minutiae of the game to a fault. You've got young guys like Kakko not being able to understand what the coach wants offensively, focusing on the wrong things as Spooner says. You've got vets basically ignoring his calls for dump and chase, straight line hockey. I feel like he had a bit of a substitute teacher vibe where some students tried to listen and didn't get it and others just straight up ignored the message all together. I'm expecting really big things from Lafreniere and Kakko next season with a coach who's been there before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very easy to dismiss that interview as sour grapes from a player that draws his paycheck from a bottom feeder NHL team in Belarus, but there is huge amount of circumstantial evidence to back it up as true. It's not like players with an active or thriving NHL career are easily going to go on the record considering how incestuous the NHL is. Time to hire the best NHL coach available and change the room around a little with some 1 or 2 strategic veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually praises some of what Quinn did, said it was probably growing pains as a new coach. He even mentioned that he would play for him again (although he was indifferent about it). It sounded like a player giving an honest assessment. He really based some other coaches and teams he played for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long live the King Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Ryan Spooner played 16 games during Quinn's debut season in the NHL. We all think Quinn is the same coach now that he was during his first 2 months in the league?

Pete Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 You’ve been been asking for quotes and proof for years. Are you still in denial of these things?There's nothing to deny, Quinn's style didn't work for Spooner, it seemed to work for a lot of other players. If there's anything I take away from that interview it's that the way he treats players isn't the issue, it's his in-game performance which everyone acknowledged needed a ton of work. Spooner was also out of the NHL 5 minutes after he left the Rangers... I'm really not too interested in his opinion LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Quinn wasn’t the type of coach who coached himself out of future jobs. I do think that he can find another job in this league eventually to get another chance. But the more you think back on what unfolded this year, it sounds like that locker room was an unmitigated disaster as far as NHL standards go. No leaders, fighting, lots of issues, differences of opinion, etc. It was for sure his time to go here, and it was time for us to take the next step which I don’t believe we can take with him at the helm. Each job in life is a learning experience for your next job. And I’m sure Quinn learned things here and will take those experiences with him. For us, it was time for a new, more mature, more seasoned voice. But eventually, Quinn needs to learn how to control a locker room, because for a 56-game shortened season, we had 10-years worth of drama crammed into just a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still has to learn the NHL game, adjusting his game plan and Learn to win. Unfortunately, these were the same problems from day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I think he's too much of a boy scout. Certainly too much for my taste, but he coached a pond hockey team. How much of that is on him? What was his degree of influence on the personnel? Without these answers, I really hesitate to fully pass judgment on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
