i hear what you're saying, but i'd hate to see any of Kane, Schmaltz, Hinostrosa, or Cat get run badly. 'Cuz you absolutely know that there will be NO response.

We've just had almost 10 really good/great years. i think we're heading into a period of time(mostly because of the bad contracts) that could be of significant time as well. That's why i'm for cleaning house upstairs. i have no confidence that the current regime can fix this any time soon(2-5yrs min.). By then, what is left of the so called Core? Kaner, maybe.

Doesn't really seem to be much, if anything left of the core now...

I will ask again, is Gustafsson/Dahlstrom really a better pairing than Forsling/Rutta? I get the idea of taking inventory, but that really was wtf.

I have a problem with laying the blame at the feet of AHL call-ups.
If I was running a company and things stated to go badly, would it be right for me to lay the blame on the guy I just hired to sweep the warehouse floor?

If Q’s days were numbered why we didn’t replace him earlier in the season? Twice Pitt did this and twice it lead to Cups in the same year. The team’s management seems in cement.

Replace Q...with?

Replace Stan...with?

When you consider that only 5 coaches (I think it is) have won championships in the last 10 years....

I, too, think (mildly) that Q should be replaced - because this team is in a rebuild mold, and I don’t think the Q is the right coach for that - too many experienced players whose skills are on a down trajectory, too many young players who should be developing into NHL players in Rockford but now must be developed in a Chicago.

But this next coach better be the right guy (or, actually, gal) - the wrong choice sets the franchise back 10 years.

In other words - no precipitous moves without a reasoned plan.

Hey Bob, I absolutely do not want no one to get hurt. But I have a question why isn’t John Hayden up and I would like to see them at some point to complement those guys you mentioned up there. It is very warm around the collar these days up on the fourth floor at the atrium in the United Center. There is probably a lot more uncomfortableness going on than what we hear or see about these days up there. And I also agree with Enzo repeating myself, most of the defenseman are nothing more than AHL’rs
Especially Jordan Osterle ,he is the human version of a metal rod tabletop hockey player

Not blaming them. More concerned with the decision making that put them out there in the first place, and the development or lack thereof that preceded this decision.
