The problems that this team had were beyond injuries! With the lineup they had, they should've been a pretty dominant team. The bottom line is that Q's system just wasn't working! The Avs have never been a defensively based team, and with all their fire power, Q's defense first mentality was a total misfit. Getting swept by the Dead Wings wasn't just because of injuries, although that was a HUGE part. The guys that were in the lineup looked like they had never seen their teammates before, missing passes, missing defensive assignments, just overall sloppy play. Q just can't seem to motivate this team! Q was hired by Lacroix, which was a mistake. Let's let Giguere bring in his own guy (an offensively minded one). I'm extremely happy that Q is finally gone, but i just wish they would've canned him sooner! This team needs a change of scenery bad after that meltdown in the playoffs

....and yet the Red Wings did it to the Stars last night as well.  Injuries had nothing to do with it.  Coaching maybe could have been better, but it is the Avalanche GM who is the problem.  I believe that JQ showed some real genius getting as far as he did with the currently fielded team.  The Red Wings being on an unbelievable run shouldn't make the coach look worse.  The season series tells a story about two teams that don't match up very well.  Again, that is the GM's fault.  I think JQ will make the Leafs very happy next year, if their GM doesn't mess it up, too.

True.  But as I said, who's out there that they can replace him with.  Are they going to promote Tony Granado again? 

I agree that the Avs have problems but will a coaching change correct those problems?  I guess we'll find out.

I've been hoping to see Pat Quinn back in the league for some time now...  Not to say he is perfect for the Avs, but there is now ANOTHER opening in the league.
