Wow. This is crazy.

The end of an era.

Stan saving his job (for now) with this move.

can we let pat foley and others go too?

Ulf and Kevin have been firdd as well.

Barry Smith has joined as an assistant and I assume Don Granato will be the other.

Joel will have a job by the end of next week if you wants it, probably look at the Los Angeles kings for starters. The wrong guy got fired .

I just saw the Hawks fired Q. Who’s coaching the team now Scotty?

Geez

Think the assistants will go too???

Not so crazy.
2 - 1st round outs, the last w/little pushback
missed playoffs entirely
likely pushed for Stan to sign guys like Kunitz and Manning

No more country club atmosphere
Lost 5 in a row, absolutely trending down
There's the 1 coach hire Stan gets
Unfortunately Stan will be around at least another 18 months before his emperor's clothes will be uncovered and Rocky realizes he's got to go too

WGN just announced assistants gone too !!

Joel is fired

Barry Smith and Don Granato stay

Ulf is a dope, wasn't very articulate when interviewed between periods so it is no wonder he's gone. Q's blankies finally cost him. Guess Rocky got tired of seeing that pathetic toreador defense.

I know this has been beaten to death, but I have 2 words for you (and everyone who says it's the GM and not the coach), Las Vegas. Here were players that were deemed not good enough for their current teams, and were "given" to Vegas. So it was a team of "bad" players. The majority of people say that the coach was the reason that The Golden Nights went all the way to the SC final. So, what is it? Can a coach get results with bad players? The league has had 10 years to learn Q's system, and they have. Q has had 10 years to design a new system, and he hasn't. Enough said! ByeBye Q (and coaching staff). Time for new blood.
And if Q gets hired by a new team and wins the cup with that team, then he belongs in the HOF. Good for him.

Excuse me but Q is going to the HOF. This team has been mismanaged since Dale Talon was dismissed. I hope Rocky is reading all these comments and more. The decisions that need to be made are severe ones but the sooner they are initiated the better. This past road trip just puts us one step closer to a good draft pick, and a good draft pick is the best result this season can bring.

Stan you're on the clock.

Q thanks for the memories

Don't worry.....Bowman will be next.

Said it years ago, right place at the right time kind of guy. As Powerenforcer said, if he goes somewhere else and wins then he deserves to be in the hall of fame.

Wow, I have no words. When you know a move is coming and bam. It happens (a lot sooner than expected.) I guess Stan was at Rockford scouting Colliton the whole time. Who takes over for him down in Rockford? I don't know anything about coaches down there.
Bowman out to save his job ... how much time does he got left, this season?

Wow. This is crazy.

This is a train wreck.

Nice timing on McDs part. Election day, minimal coverage in the papers and TV.

They last played Saturday and sat on the announcement for 2 days.

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think this team is underachieving. They are just not that good anymore. That’s more on Stan than Q.

To Mcd it's a "remodeling"

They fired the wrong guy. The future HOF coach who is 2nd in the history of the league with 890 wins and 3 Stanley Cups? He's the problem?

The problem is, and has been Stan Bowman, who has continually made the wrong moves, traded the wrong guys, signed guys to unsustainable contracts, thrown around NMCs like candy?

#TheProblemIsStan

Sad to say but a new voice is needed.

Bowman should follow, glad to see the franchise recognizing that something was not working.

Thanks to Q for the wonderful memories.

I said this the other day that it could be him. At the time when I said /wrote I was thinking down the road in a year or two especially if things didn't get turned around.

I Guess we can stop Believing in ONE GOAL.

Don't worry.....Bowman will be next.
- Hawkytalk

I hope it is sooner than later, he’s the guy that assembled this mess with a bunch of kahunts as complementary pieces to your core players , You don’t realize thatStanley cups are won by your third and fourth line get in the trench type players Stan?That must mean we’re going to sign guys like Nick Schmaltz to an eight year $10 million per season , no trade contract. Totally disgusting move this morning.[img][/img]
