I just read his biggest criticism was not playing stars enough and instead muckers and grinders. No thanks.

I'm shocked actually. I never expected it. We had a discussion about it like a week ago.

They never had goaltending in a league where you absolutely need to have goaltending. He got away with Chris Osgood all those years because the Wings could always do enough capfuckery to get by.

Babcock has experience with Toews, Keith, and Seabrook (though somehow not Crawford, who missed the cut for Team Canada in favor of...Mike Smith?!?). Maybe they would respect him, because they sure as shit don't respect the failed 2003 draft pick coaching them now.

Has there ever been a coach fired mid way through the season, and replaced with another fired coach in the same year? Wonder if colliton would go back to Rockford.

2011-12: Capitals fired Boudreau, Ducks fired Carlyle, Ducks hired Boudreau within the span of a few days.

Agreed. As a Hawks fan I want no part of Babcock. He has a lot of stubbornness in pairings and line construction just like Q. And unlike Q his players did not like him or enjoy playing for him. Not saying Colliton is the answer but for the contract it would take, easy pass.

Players famously hated playing for Scotty Bowman "until the day they picked up their Stanley Cup rings." Hockey doesn't have Joe Maddons, no one's bringing petting zoos to the dressing room. Do the Hawks relish playing for a thirtysomething dipshit who can't run a defense?

Players are different today. I didn’t endorse Colliton.

Yeah, obviously the zoomers like Matthews and li'l Mitchy Marner can't get along with Babcock. I'd like to think he'd mesh well with what's left of our core and be something like what they were used to with Quenneville, who was also definitely a standoffish hard-ass at times but still inspired a great deal of loyalty in his players.

I read this as bums line Seabrook and Crawford will sit on the bench.

SMH- Seabrook would never leave the lineup.

By that logic Colliton is a better coach then Quenville.

He couldn’t get a more talented team to play well but the aging Blackhawks with shit defensemen are gonna be better under his stead . Ok.

Anyone paying attention knew that this was probably going to happen.
