Blackhawks Fire Savard


Today the Chicago Blackhawks fired head coach Denis Savard after only 4 games into the season. Savard was hired as the head coach of the Blackhawks on an interim basis in November of 2006. Savard is a beloved figure among Blackhawks fans and I think this will be taken pretty hard by most fans if the new coach, Joel Quenneville, doesn't get off to a great start and lead this team into the playoffs. I'm a little torn about this. I love Savard, but I also understand that the new Blackhawks regime is trying to change much of what Bill Wirtz did. Right now I'm just a little shocked about the whole situation.
