McNeil was talking about it on the Score today and floated something about the Hawks recently approaching Stalberg about a contract extension and he turned them down. Didn't exactly link it to this situation though. Could be one of many dominos that fell to get to this point, as I highly doubt the Hawks would weaken their team in the playoffs because someone didn't want to immediately reup with them. That can't possibly be what this is about. More liekly, Q wanted to send a message by benching Stalberg and Saad. The next day Saad was saying all the right things to reporters and was reinstated. Perhaps Stalberg didn't react the way Q wanted so he doesn't dress for the game. Either that or he had sex with Q's daughter, sister, wife or mother. That makes it sound like it started based on performance issues, and is continuing due to attitude issues.
