No surprise there......and guess who could replace him ???....TORTORELLA .

Quenneville Forced Out:

What a sad way to end a such glorious career....une erreur de jugement qui va le suivre/hanter le restant de ses jours.....pour avoir tristement fermé les yeux sur un acte répugnant qui a gâché la vie d'un jeune athlète de 20 ans.....aucun pardon possible...puissant message.

Black Hawks owner wants convicted sex offender's name off the Cup:

Blackhawks owner wants sex offender off Cup

Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz has asked the Hockey Hall of Fame "out of respect to each and every player who sacrificed to earn their place in history" to remove convicted sex offender Brad Aldrich's name from the team's list on the Stanley Cup from 2010.

www.espn.com

Is this too little too late? If the Black Hawks had fired him when they should have, his name never would have been on the Cup in the first place.

CAR 3 BOS 0.....another great win...now 6-0.....PANTHERS are playing DETROIT tonight....intéressant de voir comment l'équipe va passer au travers de la tempête qui les secoue....BUT on short term i don't see any change in their winning attitude.

Ça fait un petit bout de temps que Claude n'a pas fait les séries ...

Il ne la pas fait a sa dernière année a Boston ...

Si je me trompe pas il a fait les séries une année a Montréal grâce à Michel Therrien et une autre fois grâce a la Covid ... Ils avaient changé la formule pour accepté plus d'équipes ...

Qui sais verras t'on des retrouvailles de Claude Julien et de Marc Bergevin a Chicago ...

 

[alan]

No surprise there......and guess who could replace him ???....TORTORELLA .

Si j'ai le choix entre Tortorella et Julien
Je prend Tortorella ...

PANTHERS....they lost 3-2 in S/O....end their winning streak at eight.....not bad .

But what about the SHARKS.....without seven regular plus coach in Covid-19 protocol they won 5-3....BRAVO.....still in the fight in their division.

And HAWKS set their record for most consecutive games without a win to begin a season at nine.....they need BERGEVIN back ...lol.

The teams that really, really suck moose balls are the Hawks and the Coyotes, which are an embarrassment to both of those animal species. They are the bottom 2 teams in the ESPN power rankings, below the Kraken and the Habs. The Hawks not only have not won a game, they have not even had a lead in any game so far:

Ovechkin might be a little low at # 15

The winless Coyotes play the undefeated Hurricane at 1 pm today. Is Arizona going to win? Is Carolina going to lose? Is something finally going to give?

 

[gaby]

Would bet on CAR today .

Gaby,

The highest ranked NY Ranger on ESPN's top 100 list is also a native New Yorker and the highest ranked Jewish player in the NHL:

Close but no cigar today for winless Arizona. Here is the winning goal by Carolina:

I was honestly worried that the Rangers might suffer the same fate in Seattle as the Habs did, but Igor tamed the Kraken (31 saves, .969 save %) and Fox scored the go ahead goal, and these 2 super heroes again came to the rescue:

 

[gaby]

HEY HEY HEY..c'est le party à CHICAGO....finally a win 5-1 vs powerful SENS ...with a hat trick--KANE....FLEURY was all smiles....c'est peut-être le début de quelque chose....

 

[EagerBeaver]

HEY HEY HEY..c'est le party à CHICAGO....finally a win 5-1 vs powerful SENS ...

Are you being facetious LOL? The Senators have 6 points and are barely ahead of Montreal..... Montreal ties them with one win.
