Does he make it further than Babcock did in Columbus?

mkabes.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes

This is bullshit. I have been trying to be a Ducks supporter, went to several games last year. Now I hope they tank.

Character matters - or at least it should.

Perfect example of why DEI is effective. All these old whites only know old whites and therefore will hire terrible old whites.

The NHL seems to be obsessed wîth reusing the same coaches time and time again, even when they're not deserving of another chance. After covering up SA, he should have been banned for life from the NHL. Truly appalling

Verbeek is done in 2 years. Organization going to get stripped down. Players won’t respect him

Looks like a bad guy in a “Rockford Files” episode.

I wish nothing but the absolute worst for that organization now. Absolutely disgusting

Long time Blackhawk fan, loved Q, the team he was coaching won 3 cups in 6 years and were always fun to watch. The coverup on the sexual assault ruined it all for me. They stayed silent for years, a young mans life was forever changed by someone associated with the team. Unfair, ugly, unforgettable.

Last year when he was on podcast discussing the Kyle Beach scandal, he claimed to be sorry about his lack of response, only to go blame others for it anyway. So I was left with a strong sense that he hasn't actually learned anything at all.

The NHL slogan should just be "Nothing changes"

I mean, he flat out said it was completely improper for Aldrich to be hanging out with the Rockford players and that that alone was reason to fire him -- but he didn't, and Q had the power to fire him. Such an awful interview.

What are the Ducks thinking?

Enough with the fossils of coaching.

You can’t tell me there’s no new crop of amazing up to date coaches out there?

Who’s his assistant? Ken Hitchcock?

To be fair - Anaheim has tried the young coach approach. But still.
