Coach Q has been reunited with FlaPanthers GM Dale Tallon, and he hopes to repeat their original success.
Chicago BlackhawksEleven years and three Stanley Cup championships later, Coach Q has been reunited with Tallon under similar circumstances – this time with theTallon hired Quenneville Monday to replace Bob Boughner as the team’s new head coach in the hopes the second-winningest coach in NHL history can take the southern Florida franchise to another level.
“I was the luckiest guy in the world when he gave me that opportunity in Chicago,” Quenneville reflected Tuesday during an appearance on Hockey Central at Noon. Quenneville was fired by the Blackhawks in November after more than a decade with the team. The 60-year-old had been enjoying family time during his brief stint away from the game but had recently made it known he was open to making a return and joining a team with the potential to win the Stanley Cup.“They’ve got a lot of young assets, some talent that’s looking to go to the next level,” Quenneville said of a Panthers team that missed the playoffs by 13 points this season.
