timberz21 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Stan Bowman just trying to save his butt. Yes Quenneville's time might have expired, but Bowman has made way more mistake than Q. Panarin/Saad, Seabrook extension, trading young players like Hartman, Teravainen, Danault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Shocking. I wonder where JQ will end up, he's 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skolozsy2 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 After so many years, it was just time for a new voice in the locker room and a system on the ice. No matter whose behind the bench though, it WILL be a downgrade from Quenneville. Thanks for the memories, Q. You were a big part of those Cups!
