Confirmed with Link: Joel Quenneville has resigned, asst. coach Andrew Brunette named interim head coach (READ POST #2!)

Such a joke.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Yup let’s shame the Panthers while he’s the head coach but then let’s turn a blind eye when the off-season comes LMAO

 

[drktmplr12]

Can't say I'm surprised

 

[Prominence Problem]

If Q joins another team, will the Panthers be compensated at all?

I don’t know about monetary compensation but I hope we kick their asses so bad that Q becomes O.

 

[Chessarmy]

That is a f***ing joke. He has to retire from his position here only to go work for another team the very next season? Why force him to retire in the first place then? f***ing idiotic.

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Yeah, I have no problem with getting rid of Q after the Kyle Beach mess... but to essentially force him out only for him to be working in the NHL again some seven months later? Obviously it's just rumors so far and we don't know if he'll be allowed back... but if he is, that's a bad look on the league and really shows they don't give a damn about the issue, just the optics.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Maybe can we not talk about this till the offseason? I feel like this is going to put bad juju into the universe.

Trotz fired. Some will say he will kill our offense, but I don’t think that would happen here. He is definitely my top choice.

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Trotz please

 

[5 Hole]

So why couldn’t Florida hire him? I’m also very OK with kicking the tires on Trotz.

 

[Chessarmy]

Trotz would get this team playing the structured systems necessary to succeed in the playoffs. Zito would be an absolute moron if he didn’t try to bring him in

 

[StrangeVision]

Trotz fired. Some will say he will kill our offense, but I don’t think that would happen here. He is definitely my top choice.

We have so much offense that even if he killed it we'd be a top scoring team. They should just call him up today to see if he can take over tonight.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Q got f***ing hosed (not going to go into it all again) and Brunette still has the interim title. Would be my first choice for our coach next season. I think we miss him right now.

Trotz please

No. No f***ing way.

 

[BeezKnees]

Trotz would not ruin our offense. Washington finished 8th, 3rd, 2nd, and 5th in league-wide scoring during his 4 years there. He works with what he is given and he just didn't have the same firepower with NYI or NSH and coached heavily defensive style teams out of necessity.

 

[PSLguy]

Trotz will be long gone by the time our playoffs are over!

He's going to go to Winnipeg. He's from there, and has lots of family in the area.

Or he might go to Florida if his family gets to pick

I'm originally from Winnipeg with family there and I wouldn't want to go there haha

Nice to see you back on the boards!

Never left, I just do a lot more lurking than posting these days, and of course not being able to log into my original account lol.

I guess he's from Saskatchewan, but it's all the same out there
