I don't see it that way. Why can't the players be at fault for letting bad habits creep back into their game? Maybe they lose a bit of confidence and the pressure starts to build? Coaching doesn't fix that. Playing devils advocate but it's probably somewhere in between. It doesn't have to be one way or the other.</p>

If that is the case, it is still the coach's job to fix that.</p>

Our PP has never been top 10 with Kane, Toews, Keith, and Sharp around.... closest they ever came to a top 10 PP unit was 08-09 when Havlat was on the team and we were knocked out in the 3rd round by Detroit. It was ranked 12th, Q was coaching. Even when Savard coached, the PP still sucked, and he was suppose to be the PP specialist.</p>


 </p>


Firing Q isn't going to fix the fact that the players can't execute anything. It just looks like they are too concerned with making the perfect pass, play, etc.. etc.. so much pressure on themselves when they are up a man. It's been like this forever, and probably won't change until they change some of the players or the culture is more relaxed.</p>

It was number four in 2010-2011</p>

RE: the PP</p>


 </p>


I used to think, "Why aren't they listening to the coach?"  Then I realized, they are listening to the coach and that is the problem.</p>

How can the coaches not get blame for the PP, when you look at the guys they are sending over the bench?! :lol:</p>

He had Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa and Keith as the first unit not too long ago... what's wrong with that? Sounds pretty stacked if you ask me.</p>

because it's two minutes of tic tac fucking toe with nobody going to the net, and not a single shot is taken. </p>

One right handed shot. Nobody to plant in front of the net.You need one-timer options on both points on the PP. Period. Running a PP without one-timer options is clownshoes. Lo and behold....you put Keith and Seabrook on the off-handed side tonight, and it was the most impressive PP of the season.</p>

That's if they can even get the puck in the oppositions zone to begin with.</p>

And they couldn't even do that... all moot point.</p>

Also, took Q way too long to adjust in this series. He finally did what me, and many other fans on here, stated after game three. Not talking just about line match-ups, but adjusting the system in order to counter Babcock. Hopefully they figured it out, but honestly I don't have much confidence until I see how they come out in game six.</p>

 

[roshinaya]

Q seems like a really stubborn coach that will take his sweet time before changing things up. The approach has some merits and works in the regular season, but in the playoffs with a limited number of games that approach can be murder.

Yet, there are times when fans complain that he changes things too frequently.</p>

 

[PatrickShart]

It sure would be nice to have a coach like Dan Blysma</p>


 </p>


There's a guy that knows how to do line matchups...and adjustments.  Swapping players in/out of the lineup after game 1</p>


 </p>


AND....he knows how to run a PP - they're at 25%!!</p>


 </p>


Instead, the Hawks get this idiot Q that doesn't know how to do any of these things. </p>


 </p>


Maybe one day....</p>

Leddy was the only guy who consistantly gained the zone...It made me wonder why the smeg Q didn't move him to the 1st PP unit.</p>

Maybe just maybe after Q gets fired after his two Cups in four seasons may we get the chance to have such a coaching guru like Bylsma.

 

[PatrickShart]

The only reason he may win 2...is because of the players.</p>


 </p>


Remember...when he was in COL...he had 36/37yr old Sakic and Blake...with Budaj, Aebischer in net.  Arnason as well...he didn't do shit with them.</p>


 </p>


The guy has underacheived everywhere...so 3 conference finals, 1 cup (possibly 2) in 5yrs....doesn't erase the past. </p>


 </p>


Since he didn't win as the head coach in COL (him winning as an assistant means nothing)...and didn't win in STL - he is a terrible, over rated coach</p>
