Judging by this pic, he was PUMPED UP tonight!!

Sup Hawks Fans! Just wanted to come in here and give OFFICIAL props to Q for a great coaching decision benching Vermette last game.

I know all you were crying about and calling for Q's head because you're all better coaches and stuff.

I guess this demonstrates why one of the most winningest coaches in NHL history SHOULDN'T be questioned.

You really think Vermette has momentum and speed like that in 2OT if he played the whole game on Thursday? NO WAY!

Also PROPS to Bigfoot for the Vermette OT #calledit

Agreed... I wish DMelt would post in more current threads. Rather than necrobump old threads from 2.5 days ago.

Fuck, why not bench them for the next two games. It'll pay dividends by the time they play Game 8.

Hahaha, it proves the opposite correct. It's funny because the OP believes the reverse is true

If you guys believe that by "fresh legs," Q meant he was saving Vermette for the next game and not that he was getting guys off the ice that game in favor of other guys with fresher legs, I don't know how I can help you.

But some people want to twist it to mean he was seeing into the future and wanted Vermette et al more for Game 4 than Game 3. That's preposterous.

In fact, couldn't someone just as easily say, "See!! Why did you sit Vermette in Game 3?? We could've used him. He could've contributed."?

For full context:

“Well, we just wanted to get some fresh legs in there. We felt that (Versteeg) had never played over a long stretch in the last series, we wanted to get him back in there,” said Quenneville. “You know, tough game the other day, travel. We wanted to bring some new guys in.”

This board is so full of strange thoughts, my sarcasm meter is apparently useless here

There is no sarcasm at all. Had Vermette played in Game 3, he would have been gassed by the middle of 2OT in Game 4. No Chance he makes that play with an additional full 60 minutes he would have played in Game 3.

Good point. Thank god the Hawks lost Game 3. Otherwise, they wouldn't have won Game 4.
