The Panthers are playing in Chicago on Tuesday, which means the Blackhawks got a chance to welcome back Joel Quenneville. Coach Q enjoyed an added reason to smile, as the team also honored Patrick Kane hitting the 1,000-point plateau.
The Blackhawks shared some Quenneville stats in welcoming him back and remembering the good times:
- Chicago made nine playoff appearances under Coach Q, winning 76 postseason contests. Oh yeah, they also won three Stanley Cups with Quenneville. Sort of relevant too.
- Quenneville clearly enjoyed himself in celebrating the victories, in the locker room and during parades.
- He yelled more than a bit, as the video captured.
Tough to blame Quenneville for being all smiles, right?
Again, the Blackhawks celebrated Kane’s milestone as well:
