this is awesome... one of my fears was that Iron Mike would be gone and coach Q would end up in calgary... then the flames would be even harder to beat.

Terrible move. Writing was on the wall for Savard after they hired Quenneville as a scout. Either fire him before the season or give him more than 4 games.

Ya pretty sad. Savard didn't get much help from Huet...and it was the GM that caused the crease problem by forcing him to go w/ 2 EXPENSIVE starting goalies. 4 games is a joke and its not like they were 0-4...Tallon was just waiting for the opportunity. Wonder how the diehard fans there feel about the revered-Savard getting that kind of treatment.

10 Chicago Blackhawks 4 1 2 1 3 10 12 1-0-1 0-2-0 1-2-1

I don't understand this, their record isn't that bad? Why start the season under one coach, then can him after four games and bring in a new system? The kids in Chicago don't need this, did Savard change over night and all of a sudden a bad coach?

It must be the coaches fault that the team is stuck with the big contract of Khabibulin, thats what it is!

That's another thing why sign Huet in the summer when you still have Khabibulin under a hugh contract? Talon is a dumb ass and its the coaches fault for the expensive set of book ends in goal?
