Crazy - I am a Blackhawks fan and have mixed emotions ...
He did win 3 Cups and I don't assign him a lot of the blame for the current struggles. They are a victim of their own success. When they were winning Cups, they had to sign their core (Keith, Seabrook, Toews, Kane, Crawford, etc) to long extensions and they arguably all got overpaid a bit. As a result, they have very little depth and they are playing some guys more minutes than they probably deserve at this point. None of that is really Q's fault. However, I also see that he is 60 years old and perhaps a bit of the 'hunger' is behind him. They are, at best, a borderline playoff team this year so hitting the reset button a bit doesn't bother me much. They have tried to unload Seabrook for years and they will keep trying. Keith is also nowhere near the player he once was but he will probably have to play out his contract.
Sigh. At least they got 3 Cups.
