Except the wings then scored on the power play and that's the real reason for Quenneville's breakdown.<br /><br />... or maybe he's realizing that he probably won't get rehired if he sustains his image as a playoff flop... especially against the Hawks new biggest rival!Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767965973861050539.post-48767309934086712922009-05-25T02:16:26.068-04:002009-05-25T02:16:26.068-04:00I don't know, but I watched the game on CBC and th...I don't know, but I watched the game on CBC and their commentators mentioned that Quenneville didn't find out about the penalty until the beginning of the second and that was the reason he was irate. It makes sense too - if he had known the minute it was called, he would've gotten the venting out of the way before the break and calmed down during.<br /><br />As for how he didn't know, the penalty was given at the 20:00 mark. That is, after the period ended. Maybe the PA announcer didn't announce it, and/or Quenneville headed off to the locker room before the skirmish was all sorted out and the penalty was called. Who knows. Frankly, knowing Quenneville's coaching abilities, I'm not surprised he didn't pay enough attention to know his team would be shorthanded.Justinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767965973861050539.post-24446652999667320472009-05-24T22:13:41.458-04:002009-05-24T22:13:41.458-04:00Maybe he should blame his crap goalie for allowing...Maybe he should blame his crap goalie for allowing a soft goal right before the end of the 1st.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11437907355284296011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767965973861050539.post-75473220207560191482009-05-24T21:15:37.317-04:002009-05-24T21:15:37.317-04:00Justin, I think you're right.

What did they do? They gutted it out, played their game, and forced the OT. It's not like they were getting calls... The refs only started calling Chicago on their cheap shots when Wings players started hitting the ice. What a pathetic spectacle. <br /><br />I'd love to see Chicago try to match up with Anaheim next post-season. Bed, Bath, and Beyond should stock up heavily on cryin' towels if that matchup comes about!Graemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124044410344932653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767965973861050539.post-29757215050245258582009-05-24T19:39:46.252-04:002009-05-24T19:39:46.252-04:00A certain 5 minute major + game misconduct begs to...A certain 5 minute major + game misconduct begs to differ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
